It would fit, but since the barrel has to slide though the opening of it, there would be too much pressure loss to notice anything. If you are looking for a weight at the end of the gun, then it'll probably work.
@Don, I am not so much looking for weight, but more for looking awesome, but was worried that the weight would be too much. @R it is a compensator for a 1911
@cparkr80 the concern i would have is if it would fit on your 22 1911 not all 1911's in 22lr use a locking barrel. a large portion of them use stationary barrels that have a blowback action making it so that the slide does not have a barrel bushing to replace with a comp.
@cparkr80 Yes it should fit. But barrel bushings do require "fitting" a lot/most of the time. As a side note. If anyone ever wants to use a comp on a 45 auto, don't. Unless your running really hot loads, or something like a .460 Rowland setup, you won't see any benefit. The 45 is considered a low pressure load and comps won't help with recoil. If you ever see a 1911 running a comp, more than likely its a 38 super or other high pressure round. Hope this helps.
@cparkr80, For the GSG, with the fixed barrel, it would work. But who makes that, and what is the metal out of? Reason, I ask is if the weight would be too much for the slide to fully cycle? You might need to run a lighter mainspring for it to over come the hammer. And that might cause some light strike to the ammo.
@UG, the one pictured is made by Colt and it is made from aluminum. Having too much weight and causing issues with the slide is what I am afraid of. I will probably just play it safe and not bother
@cparkr80, I've shot a target 1911-22, but it was purposely built with a Marvel top end. And it had a comp, similar to this, and it shot great. However, it belonged to some fella that I had saw next stall, so I didn't ask for the rest of the specs. So, it it can be done, you just need to know the various springs' weights.
You can always comp a gun, but where the bullet passes through the comp is only slightly larger than the bullet itself. the comp on the Marvel Unit 1 is sized for the .22lr round itself. The comp that you have in the photo above is way to large since the barrel needs to pass through the bushing/comp. here's a photo of the comp on my .45 1911. it's attached by a threaded barrel and not a bushing/comp. photosbydon.smugmug.com and the top of the comp photosbydon.smugmug.com

@Daniel I am looking to put it on a GSG 1911 which uses a barrel bushing

when you run a comp, use a lighter recoil spring.
