I bought one of these pistols about two months ago and I am very pleaded with it. I have put 550 rounds of CCI Mini Mags through it without a single problem including rounds that failed to fire. I can't shoot tight groups with it but it is great for plinking and fun to shoot. But to be completely honest, my groups have opened up with my target pistols. Embarassed

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:
Everyone:

This pistol had a magazine disconnector built into the mainspring housing. I removed it from my own pistol as I believe it to be superfluous. It now works perfectly without said mag disconnector. No, I don't need it as a "safety." It is a range toy, nothing more. It is already a Series 80 design and I am somewhat experienced with 1911 pistols, so I find it quite safe without this moderately annoying feature. Wink

By the way, I was able to get several extra magazines in SIG-SAUER packaging when my son's store had an overstock sale. (As noted before the SIG .22 is simply a GSG with SIG markings, so the magazines are obviously identical). I must have at least six for it now. This is a nice pistol.

Image Info: German Sport Guns 1911 .22. Based on reviews this seems like the best 1911 in .22 that looks and works like a 1911. GSG also makes the 1911 .22 for SIG SAUER.
