I picked up one of these last monday 7/13/2020, after a 17 day wait (gotta love california), and I must say the wait was well worth it. After two trips to the range and 450 rounds thru this bad boy, Im very impressed. The pistol has functioned flawlessly, with only one malfunction which was operator related (my buddy racking the slide after his 4th shot causing a double feed). But otherwise the gun has been beasting (for a .22) . 290 rounds of cci mini mag 100 rounds of fiocchi performance HV 60 round of cci ar tactical. No issues whatsoever. This gun was definitely purchase because now I can hoard all my 9mm ammo, and still go have a fun , cheap day at the range. Thanks 4 reading & Stay blessed.

I got myself a used one for a good price however I have only shot one round out of it so far. It didn't cycle the 2nd round so I stopped and disassembled it. It had a bunch of metal slivers inside the mechanics of it so I cleaned it up the best I could and am waiting to go back to the range with it. It's a comfortable gun in the hand with a light trigger. My background check took less than 10 minutes here in Alabama. Wish me luck.

Hey, I got two of this 1911 original, &1911 tactical both over ten years old!!! Pick up each one for less then 200.00 . They are still running GREAT. Thousands& thousands of rounds through them and they are still running like a fine sowing machine!!!!!! Thanks Ham&egger

I have a gun just like this one that I bought months ago. Since I didn’t wanna waste a bunch of 9 mm ammo. I use this GSG 22 to qualify for my concealed carry permit. A great shooter.

Got my backround back in and picked mine up today.

Love my GSG 1911 22. Wife gave me one for a birthday present the first year they came out. It is a lot of gun for the price. If you are a fan of the 1911, I highly recommend it. I cant speak for anyone else, but mine is definitely a keeper. when I go plinking, I always bring it along. Just a fun gun to shoot.

GSG makes guns for a lot of companies. Colts 22 is made by them with a 12 round mag for the free states. Mine runs everything but Winchester. Just keep it clean. Cheers. 🇱🇷

That’s a nice looking pistol buddy.

1911 based pistols are my favorites! We know the Main Man fell in love with it; LOL!

i bought one a few years ago from my buddy who only ran a few mags through it. got it for 170. mine is all black, the build quality is sharp.

Paul your having to much fun now lolllllllllllllllllllll again that’s a good lookin pistol 🔫

You're having too much fun, Mr. Paul! Great video and that pistol looks like a winner!

Looks pretty awesome

That trigger is smooth now I like it

I bought one of the 'good looking' GSG .22's and used it a fair bit,..then the slid catch on indent on the actual 'aluminum' slide started to wear out,..quickly. The slide was replaced quickly by my Gunsmith/Dealer ( not the GSG distributor herein Canada, apparently ) but that slide too started to wear out. The GSG Distributor was reluctant to send along new replacement slides to my Dealer,.and I do not know the reason. So,...I got rid of this GSG 1911 .22 . For that reason alone, I never bought another GSG product, in this case only, if you can get the promised warranty repair parts when there`s an obvious weak spot on an item, then you simply do not buy those products.( at least I don`t and the "once bitten, twice shy" saying applies! ) Note: I think I have seen newer ( about a year later ) GSG .22 slides with a steel insert piece right there on the slide release area. I don`t know, because I stayed clear of these .

saw one at my gun shop, getting it tomorrow, thanks for the review

I have the same exact one as in the video, such a smooth and accurate hand gun!

I bought this gun over the ruger because of the clip. Heavy duty.

Just picked this pistol up. Thanks for the great video!

Plain and simple review straight to the point. Enjoyed the video and nice range sir.

I love that shirt! Had fun talking to you guys today! We will be back!!

Thanks for the intro to gsg1911 have on on order

I was thinking about picking one up. It is one of only two 1911s in 22lr on the California handgun roster,

dude just found your channel. You're great!! totally enjoyable, experienced but not pretentious like some guys here. please keeping great content!!!

I’ve got a black one, it has run all ammo I’ve fed her! Even the cheapo stuff! Love it!

I really like the color on that GSG, looks great

I love the coat on that gun. Ads just that little extra something. The mag looks so well made. Properly machined, sturdy materials, just well made. That is just dandy. Ran smooth as silk too, as far as I could tell, even when you stretched it out at forty yards. Might even work as an EDC in places where you're under some form of restriction. I don't know is such a place exists where you can carry a .22lr but not much else, but you never know. Have a nice weekend, and thank you for sharing 😊

Thanks for the vid, I just bought one of these. Excited to pick it up

Thank you for the video. I have been looking at the GSG 1911 22lr. It feels good to hold . And it looks like it shoots well also.

That's a good shooter. Lots of cheap fun. Thanks Paul.

I have this pistol, my first gun. I love it!

Nice, I love mine. They make a magazine follower that makes it 14 rounds, I think.

I own one. I like it very much and I did not receive the extra front sights. Mine is the one that has U.S. on both grip panels. Otherwise, it looks just like yours in the video. Wife really likes it. Easier to rack the slide than my 10mm , 45acp and 9mm 1911's. If it begins to have any difficulties while shooting. A dab of oil on slide rails will make it perform great again. I like to shoot dry, drop the mag, insert fresh mag and release the slide with the slide release on all of my 1911's. DO NOT USE THE SLIDE RELEASE ON THIS FIREARM. The slide is made out of something other than steel and you will round off the slot where the slide fits. Load and pull slide back and release. The really sad part of this story, is my wife can out shoot me with my own firearm.

I’m waiting to pick up my Browning 1911-22, but judging by your reaction I may have to get my hands on this GSG

Paul I value your opinion. I just purchased one and I like it. Thank you

Just got mine in green too , Can't wait to try her out 👌

Great video my friend be safe out there and GOD BLESS you and your family Amen 🙏

Just bought mine looking forward to posting vids of it on my channel

A cool little 22 for the price point thanks, Paul.👍👍👍🍺😷

Nice lookin 22 buddy. Goodmorning Mr.Paul hope ya have a great weekend.

Good morning Paul. Great looking gun!

Great 22 lr 1911 . Great shooting gun it looks like

Mine had so much overspray on the rails that it wouldn’t run any kinds of ammunition until after I used emery cloth to polish them, then I used Outers GunSlick grease on rails. I have three magazines and bought new followers and base pads, now it shoots 17 rounds per magazine. Mine did not come with extra sights and shoots 5” high.

It loves the CCI’s for sure I want one lolllllllllllllll

Thanks great video, i actually just ordered 2 last night and yours is the first and only video im gonna watch and I'm satisfied with my purchase. Thanks again!

I have one of these. Mine is the two tone, but functionally the same. I have experienced a couple things worth noting. First, I have some painted mags and some unfinished aluminum (like yours). I have found the aluminum ones work best. Also, the hotter the ammo, the better it runs. Best performance out of stingers in the aluminum mags.

I had one, always regretted selling it. Think I am going to buy another.

Great Video!

Runs like a top buddy

Kinda looks like a Kimber nice very nice 👍

The grip safety from this day forward will be known to me as the lemon 🍋 squeezer 😄

Thanks for the video! LOVE mine!

You can buy this thing for the gun magazine that makes it hold 16 rounds.

I just ordered mine... Can't wait to pop it off 😎😼👉💨

I like that adjustable trigger concept. Different sights being included, along with a threaded barrel is cool, too. A good start on making it your own just by opening up the case.👍 I'll give it a pass on that malfunction for being a new firearm. As far as not being a fan of grip safeties, that's just me, but I'd have to say that the full size 1911 style platform would make it very controllable.

If you live in Illinois, make sure you buy one from a private owner. I just found out the hard way they are illegal to transfer if purchased online out of state nor can a gun shop in Illinois sell them under ILCS 5/24-3, Section A, Subsection (h). Now I have to fight with the seller who did not disclaim this to get my money back. So now my gun is sitting with the FFL and I can’t have it.

So cool!

nice pistol.I like it also. have a great day Paul.

Thanks

I've often thought about grabbing one of these. I'm gonna have to blow up my TX22 first though. It's keeping me from owning a lot of other fine firearms.

Wow, sweet hand gun! Love the colour and finish. Cheers from Australia.

I just picked mine up. I love it but I really really wish they would charge $50 more and make the damn slide out of aluminum instead of zamak(zinc alloy aka pot metal). The slide is so cheesy feeling compared to the aluminum frame. you could crush the slide just by standing on it

Great video nice looking pistol almost bought one. Went with the tx22 instead

I just bought one. Have not shot yet Dave T

Got me 7 mags for my gsg 1911 .22 haven’t had any issues and cheap to shoot too 👍 getting some trigger time

Morning buddy

These are pretty cheap at a shop on my area. They are suffering a shortage and just have 22s in my price range. Between this and a hi-point 22

Which size sight did you use? Which hold; combat, center, or 6 o'clock, did you keep on the targets?✌🏾

Always wanted a gsg mp22, good company good firearms. You and the pistol look ready for ipsc, great shooting! When l see a rim fire 1911 I often wonder what would John Browning think, probably consider it a youth mod or fun target conversion.

Nice little pistol Paul ....

NICE pistol Paul

Great review. Thank you!

U would think that its a 45 acp nope it’s a 22 LR and it’s cool 😎as heck !!!!!

Great video.

All kinds of goodies in that box

Just picked one up today! Stoked to shoot it! Jst subed to your channel brother

Looks like a good shooter.

I think the jamming problems cuz of subsonic ammo

Very nice looking .22.

Great video, thanks for the info. I have one of these coming in OD Green Wednesday this week. Oh ... best part of your videos is the USA Flag waving in the breeze. Nice job ...

I just bought this gun for Father’s Day as a gift also bought the gsg 922 but I was looking online for magazines y are thay so expensive for this gun I pick them up on 21 witch is Father’s Day so that convenient

Lo❤e 1911 !🇺🇸🗽👍

I just bought one new at the local gun shop. Had to get the CA version but I guess I got kinda reemed at $389.00 :( oh well live and learn.

I am with you. I like that a lot and at the price at my local gun store it's a steal! Peace To All!

I wonder if these will cycle the cheap federal white box target loads. (36gr)

Thanks for the demo. I am old & plan to buy an edc now that Texas has passed open carry. Will this work in a Klydex holster like a regular 1911? I have 2 C02 1911 pistols that fit it like a glove. The bad folks all carry guns here in Houston. Thank You for your time. Got my first gun at 8, I know how to use a pistol.

I need one of these things.

Paul, is it ok to use LRN ammo in these GSG 1911's...I've put a lot of CPRN through mine flawlessly..My son brought home a box of Federal Champion Training, .22LR, LRN, 40 Grain and I put 40 rounds of it through it and it ran like a beast. Im just wondering will the lead nose be detrimental to my gun. I do clean after every time I use my gun by the way.. I enjoy your content and thanks in advance, Ed

California resident. Is this recommended for a first gun? I’ve been to the range and really liked the 45ACP Kimber 1911 and the SIG P220. Friends back in NC WANT me to get a Glock but I really love the 1911. Have to find someone to go to the range with but I’ve never fired a 22.

I have a Walther P22 that is very disappointing to shoot...this might be a good option for a plinker...

Hi bro! This is a great pistol !! I like, like this pistol💓 ! And good shooting , Paul 👍👍

Will this pistol fire 36 grain ammo?

Mine didnt come with any tools or sights. Never mind. Just didn't have the patch.

That's a nice pistol, I have one over here in the UK although it's not quite the same (due to our gun laws here) interesting to see the US version. Thanks

Dope vid thanks

how much ammunition does the magazine carry ..?

Could you use regular 22 rounds on it

Awesome!

Glad I just "found" this video Paul, I just bought a Colt 1911-22 and love the 1911 platform Yes Sir, Taylor Tactical offers magazine conversion kits for 16 round capacity plus extensions. They are SWEET

Why did you shoot 6 rounds on your clip of the video. Was there problems?
