A few years ago my son called me and told me he wanted to get a new .45 style gun in .22. He found a GSG 1911 22 and was really telling me all the great detail of it. I found one locally, liked it and bought it. I did a lot of upgrades and really enjoyed shooting it. He wasn't as lucky in finding one.
Christmas came around and I gave him the gun. He really enjoys it. Only problem is I thought I'd be able to buy a replacement. I've been looking for 3 years and no one seems to have any in stock. Sportsman's Warehouse advertises them but are always out of stock.
A couple of weeks ago I saw that SW had a Colt 1911 22 made by Walther. I like my Walther P22 so I read up and watched every video on the Colt. Everything sounds good and it is supposed to have less problems then the GSG with a wider variety of ammo. The GSG works best with HV ammo while the Colt will function with target grade.
I posted for SW to let me know when they had one in stock. They didn't have the Gold Cup, which I really wanted, but let me know that they had a Government Model in one of the stores in state and could have it shipped to my local store in a week. I grabbed it. It will be delivered Tuesday which is great because my range day is Wednesday.
Does anyone have any experience with this weapon? Do you like it?
I'm thinking of using it for Rimfire Pistol Iron at our local Steel Challenge Matches. I already bought 4 more magazines so that I will have enough.
