1911 22
I know there has been talk before about 1911 style 22's, but I am getting ready to purchase one, and was looking to see if anyone had personal experience or thoughts on the 3 I'm considering :
1. Sig blued or od
2. Colt / Umarex w/rail
3. ATI GSG w/rail and fake can
Out the door prices are $ 384 for Sig, $ 386 for Colt and $ 349 for GSG.
I keep going back the the Sig and Colt relating the name to quality, but I do like the look of the GSG and it is German Made so I'm thinking it has to be fairly decent as well. I have heard some say the finish on the GSG shows wear very quicky ? If anyone owns one, please let me know how happy you are!
Thanks!

Re: 1911 22
I don't own one (GSG) but I'm getting ready to do a transfer of one that a client bought. From handling it and looking it over pretty closely, it looks like a pretty well made gun. The fit and finish looks good, the safeties work just like they are designers to and the feel in the hand is just like any .45. It cycles nice and smooth and the magazine drops clear with no effort. My client got it on GB for $330, NIB.

Re: 1911 22
The Sig and the GSG are the same gun, different names on them.
The Colt is a different animal all together.
Get the Sig or GSG and you will be happy.

Re: 1911 22
Yeah, I've seen the GSG cheaper than $349, but that's what my local gunshop is getting for them, so I was going to send the business his way if I decide on that one. I'm usually not an OD finish guy, but the Sig does look nice in it with the US grips - every day I switch the one I like best !!!

Re: 1911 22
My local gunshop says GSG works(which is most important), but they told me its royal PITA to fiels strip. Guess it comes apart completely different

Re: 1911 22
Not hard at all to strip, just a little different. The GSG uses an additional pin and screw that have to come out before you can remove the barrel and slide, I do mine a little diferently as I remove the barrel and slide as a unit so I don't have to mess with the supressor adapter. You want pain try a ruger.
PS: Fake cans are for strippers.
