Hey everyone, just thought I'd share.
I just got my ATI/GSG 1911-22. I've been without a 22 handgun for a while. Had a pucara revolver, then sold it. I liked it but I shot it a lot and there are NO parts available for it, so I sold it because I didn't see keeping it long term.... ANYWAY...
Somehow I got to reading about this GSG 1911-22 gun and all the nice things people who had one had to say about it. They are cheap and its a full size 1911. I really liked the fact that so many parts are compatible with the regular 1911 (no I don't have one of those yet
Haven't had a chance to shot it. Probably will next week.
I got the "polished white sides" slide version. First impressions:
First of all, it seems that the slide is a little loose around the barrel, it looks centered and the barrel touches the bottom of the bushing (which is what they all do) but I think I will order the bushing+tapered cone kit from one of the vendors that offer it.
Next, my slide and the barrel have the circle (1) marks everywhere. Does this mean 1st generation? I thought we are on 3rd by now...
The barrel bushing is metal, the guide rod is metal too, and there is a white plastic buffer. Those are not 1st gen parts.
Medium term (next 6 months or so) thinking of getting my 1st suppressor for it... For now I will probably just upgrade the bushing and cone.
Will report more once I get a chance to have some fun with it at the farm. For now, I'll just clean it real good inside!
