Browning 1911 22lrs are kind of a gimmick. I had one and it functioned ok but the sight were terrible and it was small, and I have tiny hands. I sold and got the g44
If you manage to get a red dot cut slide, you'll want the lightest red dot possible. Sig zero is is popular for 22lr pistols.
The only thing I would really be concerned with is that it functions.
I know the Taurus TX22 comes in a 5 inch barrel model and its red dot compatible and very reliable. I have the glock 44 and its awesome but it isn't compatible with a red dot (a company makes a slide but you won't get one in Canada).
I only say this because I get the appeal of buying something that looks like its centerfire counterpart is cool, but if the gun doesn't run well or it doesn't scratch itches you have later your going to be stuck with it.
Its pretty cool you guys found a loop hole, my 22lr is my favorite gun to shoot and I would love to get another one.
