Ruger 22/45

The Ruger 22/45 is the most inexpensive way to improve your shot with a classic 1911 style gun. The Ruger 22/45 shoots cheap .22 ammo, but the grip has the same angle as a 1911 .45 So you can practice shooting cheap ammo and at the same time improve your shot with your 1911 .45 ACP, but for less.

As for the reliability of the Ruger 22/45 it is about mid-range, being a .22 and an autoloader. And you will want to stay away from hollow points if possible, they don't feed as reliably. It is mainly a practice gun, and .22 semi autos are not noted for their reliability. But here is one really cool thing about the Ruger 22/45, as long as you keep it reasonably clean, the more rounds you shoot through it, the less it will jam on you, the gun just functions more smoothly over time.
