First time out with the GSG 1911-22

[straight-shooter]

I finally got time out to the range today with the GSG 1911-22. The results were very satisfying. The gun seemed to be somewhat all over the place till I fired approximately 80 rds thru it then it really settled down to some excellent accuracy. New barrel maybe ? Not really sure but it's on now. A little fiddling with the front and rear sight to get it dialed and here's the results.....

I just topped off a good day at the range with a BLT! BACON
Now it's time to get down to business and clean this gun.

Nothing like a day at the range. Had a GSG .22 and traded it. I miss it. Straight shooter.
Think I will fry up some Bacon...............MMMmmmmm....life is better with Bacon

Where did you shoot it with all that snow? It was like 55 in southern Indiana today.

I'm up here in the great white north about 7 miles south of the Michigan state line. The range is in Elkhart, IN. It got up to about 45 degrees today but the snow came the last two evenings.

I have shot one of these and i really liked it. Always shot strait for me. The accuracy supprized me too. Oh yea, and i can tell you they can go a looooong time without cleaning them and still shoot excellent.

Very nice! I've put around 250 rounds through mine so far, I took it apart Friday and cleaned it just so I would know how it came apart. I'm a fan for sure of the gun, pure and simple fun!

I probably should note that the gun did not like the Remington Golden's. They fired and fed well but the accuracy was not up to par. The CCI's on the other hand were excellent.

The Main spring housing is definitely getting changed out because the curved factory MSH just does not fit my hand well so i think a flat one will fit the bill better.

 

[Fordtough25]

I haven't found anything that likes the Golden sabers yet. So far I have used Federal bulk, Winchester Super X, and a few CCI's in my Gsg. Eats the up!

I'm excited. I ordered mine on the 25th. Hopefully it will be here soon. Today would have been a great day to get to the range, its supposed to be high 50s today.

I just picked up one of these from Indy Gun Safety and am looking forward to trying it out.

ordered one from Tactical Shotgunner should be here this week. I can't wait thanks for the video.

The full length guide rod is a great upgrade. I wouldn't own a GSG without it! If the factory rod goes, it can take the bushing and plug with it. These guns are amazing, but I've seen them puke their guts out onto the range after they switched to the molded guide rods.

I like the looks of the GSG 22 and have been thinking about getting one. Where did you get the replacement full lengh guide rod?

I ordered one tonight for mine, not sure its needed really but it can't hurt anything and it's cheap enough.

I've had mine since March of 2011 and have over 1000 rds of Blazer through it with no problems.I just wish that it came with two mags. I have some Ruger old model single sixes-Colt Woodsman and a Smith & Wesson model 41. All are great pistols and unique to themselves. best regards from southeastern indiana

Good to hear! I enjoy shooting my old Single Six as well, but this gsg is fun!! Hello from another south eastern hoosier.

I just ordered a flat mainspring housing for the GSG 1911-22. I noticed at the range that sometimes if i really wasn't paying close attention that I was having trouble depressing the grip safety due to the curved mainspring housing making it somewhat difficult to position my hand correctly.

I also ordered the correct mainspring cap pin for the housing since I was informed the GSG factory pin is not the same and will not switch over to a standard housing.

I'll report back after i install the MSH and get it to the range but my research on the net shows it's a nice iimprovement for easier access to the grip safety while gripping the gun.
