GSG 1911 - .22lr - First Impression At The Range

[@bruce502]

Nice shooting sir. A couple tips from my gsg experience: -Likes high velocity ball ammo (1250 ft/ sec mininmum) -Takes a while to break in. -Keep thumbs off slide. Gsg is simple blowback and any pressure on the slide will cause it to not retract fully. (Failure to extract may happen) -Gsg runs best with well-oiled slide rails. -Check rear sight for any flashing on the top. Mine had a thin sliver of molding flashing that I trimmed off flush. Big change to POI. -Blue Locktite the tiny barrel screw. It will back out if not locktite'd. -You can easily remove the magazine safety. Just a small piece of stamped metal and a spring. Can find directions on youtube. My GSG runs great and a lot of fun to shoot. Hope you enjoy yours.

[@citizenpew]

Thanks for the info!! The GSG is a bit different than my Chiappa Arms .22lr 1911, so far I'm really enjoying it; definitely going to look into removing the mag safety. Thanks for watching!!

[@golfgunsandcocktailschannel]

@Bruce Thanks for your comment. That helps because I really like to get this 1911 plinker.

[@looks2880]

Very informative! Thanks this helps inform my decision on my first handgun

[@davidjensen4365]

So I'm struggling a little bit with mine. Has about 800 rounds through it so may still not be there yet but will frequently stove pipe a full round or eject it fully without it even getting chambered forcing me to rack the slide to load another round. Not sure why. Also having a little trouble with the sight picture. Seems like I have to hold under the targets. Any advice on any of these?

[@bruce502]

@David Jensen - I tried replying earlier, but it seems to have gotten lost. After 800 rounds, it should be working well. Double check that you aren't inadvertently riding the slide with your thumbs and that the slide rails are well oiled. I tried gun grease, but it caused problems. Oil seems the best. Regarding point of impact. My gsg came with 5 different size front sights. If you have those, install the shortest one. If not, american tactical may have them available. If your problems continue, give american tactical support a call. Phone and email is at the top of their website. I've read that they are helpful folks. Good luck!

It just may be my first also, I saw a nice green one and started looking up everything I could find about them.

How’s it going for you? Happy with the purchase?

[@stevegessler4011]

I’ve had mine for more than 10 years. No issues so far. I even shot a three gun march with it and hit steel at 65 yards. There are some companies that make magazine kits for it. By combining two of the kits, you can boost the capacity to 17 rounds, great gun.

[@Mike-4547]

I purchased this GSG 1911 22LR 8 years ago brand new for $400, it has been in the woods in the hands of teenage boys so you could imagine the way they treated it 😂 it’s been in snow, light rain, and covered in mud while riding on Quads. This firearm has 9000 rounds through it, I cleaned it after every use and changed the recoil spring a few times. It had a few failures but nothing serious and all of them from ammunition. For me personally it’s one of the best firearms I’ve purchased and still running. I can’t believe you are having so many issues with it.

[@Xanifur]

Love this little guy. I have a few vids shooting my tan version. I immediately took out the mag safety, it is super easy to do. Got it factory new, first day I ran 250 through it just to break it in. Agulia Super Extra and Mini Mags run well.

[@citizenpew]

I haven't had a chance to mess with the mag safety yet, nice to know it's easy to do thanks. I'll have to see if I can get some Agulia Super Extra to run through it too. Thanks for watching!!

CCI Stinger for sure. It loves it. Haven't had a misfire or stovepipe yet. Great plinker.

I haven't met a .22 yet that didn't like it some CCI ammo, lol.

[@bernied9415]

I bought mine new 4 years ago, and I have never had a problem with mine , my friends tried it and agreed . It is well balanced, well made and with right ammo...you can bring down venison !

[@citizenpew]

I agree it is well made and well balanced, the biggest downside is it's a bit picky on ammo, but honestly, I don't think I'd put this firearm in just the plinker category, like you said, with the right ammo it can be fairly effective.

[@lacydoe]

[@RodmansSidechic]

[@FReTThAwD]

To all GSG 1911 and 922 owners chambered in 22lr. It’s an amazing firearm. Unfortunately, there are some minor issues that can be fixed. One issue is that these firearms are painted at the factory when the slide rail is already installed, which will cause some overspray on the slide rail which you can sand down. Make sure you also get the inside of the slide as well. After doing this it made my 922 run a million times better and you can also find an optic that you can mount on the firearm. If you go to eBay and you look up dovetail mount for 1911 GSG 22LR you can find one. You just gotta make sure it matches up to the optic footprint. Amazing firearm. Just some tweaks need to be made.

[@epps1217]

I bought a used one. Put Dawson precision sights on it, the full length guide rod performance kit on it, and a flat mainspring housing. Prefers 40gr high velocity. Eats most ammo though. Had alot of fun shooting it.

I use cci stinger , works perfectly!

[@ronniepemberton1942]

[@ShmoeMeister]

CCI stinger is phenomenal but what's even better are the "varmit" rounds by CCI , they're 35Grain , 970FPS , EXTREMELY ACCURATE AND CHEAP

[@robinmurphy3085]

I have one, it shot everything and very accurate. Till it hit about 2500 rounds.. its clean , oiled still wont cycle 3 differant brands including federal, cci, and remington. Very discouraged with what was a very fun plinker for 10 months.

[@rhare7353]

I love mine, Quality ammo is the answer like Bruce said 1250 ft/sec min is the answer.

[@citizenpew]

Definitely!!

[@Skedawg88]

I have owned one for many years. I bought it because it felt good in my hand at the gun store. The front sights would fly off so tighten up the small set screw and use something like locktite to keep it in place. CCI is the only ammo it shoots without issue. Still, I like the gun. Takes awhile to break in. Good review.

[@independentthinker8930]

Love mine, I put a performance kit in it. It's a hell of a shooter!!!!! I removed the stupid mag saftey, easy to do. Mine hates punch. A lot of 1911 parts swap out. I polished my fire control group and installed a lower trigger

[@bryanknapp6897]

I love mine, after some simple work. Remove all paint from inner guide rails, install full length guide rod. I add 25 thou to the slide stroke when making my guide rod. Now it runs 95% using white box Winchester ammo, but CCI m-mags are the gold standard with functioning the pistol.

[@citizenpew]

A lot of viewers have also mentioned removing paint in that area as well, that's good to know. I'll have to look into the guide rod, I'd really like to get this pistol cycling anything considering it has a threaded barrel for a suppressor. Thanks for the comment and view!!

[@lewisjaviles2289]

had one for a few years. It takes high velocity rounds with no problem

[@golfgunsandcocktailschannel]

I was thinking of buying this plinker. But your review tells me there would be a lot of hiccups with this 1911. However, the comments below tell me to give it a try anyway. Thank you, sir.

[@citizenpew]

You are welcome, I've done a video on the Chiappa Arms 1911 and it's a good firearm, the GSG is nice too, but overall it's just a bit picky on ammo. There are a few other differences, such as the Chiappa mags are plastic.

[@markcunningham6086]

Browning stuff is a no go in anything semi-auto in my collection. Stay with anything HV and after about 300 or so rounds, that thing will sing thru ammo. Mine did take a break in, then shoots about everything. Keep the slide lubed up....

[@Jrsydevil7]

My dad bought a Sig/GSG 1911-22 several years ago, when he passed away it got passed on to me. But I will only run 40gr or 36gr CCI Mini Mags, the only issues I normally have are when I load 10+1. It tends to lock back on the first shot, I rack it and then it just keeps shooting. Other than that one quark, it runs like a champ. I plan on buyin a few more so that I don't beat up my dad's gun and I can basically destroy it if I want to. Also I can use them to teach my neices and nephews, along with other new shooters. My neices have all shot that gun, and for the most part they've done pretty well with it.

[@brianr5665]

My stepdaughter bought one against my wishes before I could research it more. Hers was not without it's faults. A Dremel and a weekend fixed a few things. This thing is ammo specific. It hates standard velocity rounds. But it loves cheap high velocity rounds. Target and pistol rounds are not recommended. Very temperamental, but it likes what it likes and if you like this pistol... Give it what it wants and it will do everything you want it to.

[@citizenpew]

I agree, it is temperamental regarding ammo. There are other manufacturers of 1911 .22's that have less issues but also have their own drawbacks. Thanks for watching!!

[@greatgaza3136]

Ever since I sanded the the paint from the bottom of the slide, where it meets the frame,I've had no issue with any ammo.

[@omargomez6883]

Thank you for the video. I did a lot of research about this pistol since it would be my first fire arm. I decided not to purchase because it is not able to shoot all .22 amo brands. I bought a Taurus TX22 Compact and it has been an Awesome gun. Now, I am seriously thinking again on buying a GSG .22 just to have a 1911 chambered in .22. Let's see how it goes.

[@MrZola1234]

I like the hat, cowboy hats, with their rim, are more practical than ball caps too. I have one on the 10 waiting here in Cali for me. I liked this one because it's a full size with 5 in barrel. Even if it's a bit finicky on ammo, should be able to find a few it likes.

[@citizenpew]

Of the .22lr 1911's I've shot, the GSG is by far the best constructed in my opinion; and while it is picky on ammo, I've noticed as it breaks-in it cycles well with more and more ammo brands. Use CCI mini mags at the beginning and you'll be fine, I've put over 500 rounds through mine and it's letting me cycle most brand name ammo. Thanks for watching!!

[@freddaniali]

Put some oil on the slide. It may be a bit dry. Great video. Just bought this gun so we will see if it fires ok.

[@citizenpew]

You are right about the oil, this GSG 1911 needs to be well lubed until it fully breaks in.

[@jayrider837]

I have one , it was finikey on the first 500 rounds... now she runs great and loves CCI blazers ! Now I have 1300 rounds and smooth as silk the slide and trigger :) 1911 are so beautiful too especially if you have a 1911 in .45 or 9mm to train with the 22lr !! Great video ! And just FYI it does not like subsonic...

[@citizenpew]

I so like the iconic look of the 1911, I actually have 9mm and .45 version too, such great firearms! Thanks for watching!!

[@FatBikeRacer]

I undertand if you remove the paint overspray on the inside of the slide where it runs on the rails, they run good.

[@0076Coyote]

Great plinker, love the hat. I swapped out the sights for Dawson Precision and installed the ZRTS Performance package and it shoots way better than it was stock. For ammo, mine loves the Remington Golden Bullet...one inch group at 10 meters, under two inches at 20 meters. Cheers!

[@citizenpew]

I heard about the ZRTS package, been thinking of checking it out. I didn't know Dawson Precision had sights that would fit it, I've only known them on Glocks and CZ's, Thanks for letting me know!! Appreciate the view!!

[@0076Coyote]

@@citizenpew The ZRTS kit is worth it. It eliminates the need for the steel barrel screw which is good because having to screw and unscrew wears out the threading in the aluminum frame. The guide rod, barrel bushing, and barrel thread protector make the tolerances tighter for better accuracy. I changed the sights because the front sight kept moving around. It was so loose I took it off with my finger. If you want to keep the stock sights on, just keep an eye on the front one.

[@citizenpew]

Good information, Thanks!! I think I'm going to order that ZRTS kit, I've been on the fence per say. I really like the pistol, it deserves some upgrades!!

CCI Mini-Mag .22LR will cycle anything. Always a solid ammo choice. And the GSG is a great choice. They are Sig Sauer. Good enough for the US military to select them as the official sidearm.

[@timschutte6924]

I watched your Browning cylce towards the end there and i dont believe that it was a firearm issue. I think its the ammo. Thing with the 22LR is ammo is if the powder isnt righ then it will not even cycle the slide. Also the point of being new. As with any handgun you have to cycle a shit load of ammo. One thing you should do is check your feed RAMP and the extractor CLIP. you may have some polishing to do. And clean off the packing grease from the factory and relube. I have been using Remingyon spray lube on ALL my weapons ALL of my life. Not a lot, a little goes a long ways. Last piece of advice. Buy a shit load of SNAP CAPS and while your sitting around in your recliner on your porch, squeeze off a 100 times or so. Its good for the metal to be worksed. One day down the road it will turn out to be your favorite to fire cause it will be like BUTTER.

I really really like the Taurus TX22 as well, haven't tried a HP22A yet, I'll have to look into that one. As far as .22 1911s go, I have the GSG and the Chiappa arms models, I did a video a while back comparing them. The comments were mixed between the two. As far as construction, the GSG is very tight, very little slop; the Chiappa is a bit sloppy but much lighter. The GSG is very picky on ammo, but I've been told that changes over time, and that there is an upgrade kit that helps with that too. The Chiappa shoots almost anything through. Personally I'm torn between the two.

[@citizenpew]

Field striping isn't the best, tools are required, mainly an additional Alen Wrench is necessary. There have been many tell me they sanded down the slide rails to remove friction caused by the paint, but honestly after cycling a few hundred rounds it started shooting low cost ammo. I did a video with a suppressor, I think it's on Rumble, but I shot CCI sub sonic I believe. Now that I've had this firearm for a while I have planned to do a follow up video. I also did a comparison video with the Chiappa 1911-22, it's here on KZbin if you're interested. Some people like the Chiappa over the GSG simply because it shoots anything out of the box.

Based on this video I would not buy this gun, way too many failures.

Too much blah blah blah

I wish I never got this pistol. Total piece of crap. Unless you get top grade of ammo forget it. Just get Taurus TX or Ruger Mark 3 or 4. Not this total piece of trash

I heard similar frustrations from others, sorry to hear you've experienced the same. Those other firearms you mentioned are definitely nice firearms. Thanks for watching!

Many recommended an enhancement kit, replaces the spring. They say performance improves dramatically after installing it. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!!
