Well I went to the shooting range today and brought my GSG1911. Was shooting CCI mini mags (100 rounds) and ran flawlessly, then starting with CCI Blazer (20 rounds) and everyone of them were either FTFeed or FTFire, then i switched to Remington golds and also ran flawlessly for about 150 rounds until I had a catastrophic failure. It exploded in my fast and on my right cheek and the ***** hurt like hell and still stings after 2hours. I was bleeding a tiny bit on my upper lip, luckily I had my mouth closed and sun glasses on.
This is my second time out with the GSG1911 and the 1st time it was great! Ate up CCI mini mags and CCI Blazer and remington golds with 2 FTFire and 1 stovepipe with over 700 rounds.
Another thing, I upgraded the barrel bushing (ed brown), the guide rod and spring combo (from cwaccessories.com), and the grips (vz operators) as soon as I bought the pistol.
BTW I've this pistol since April 24, 2012 (only 1 month!!!)
update July 4, 2012:
Its been about 3 weeks now since they had the pistol in their possession (took about 2 weeks to get the shipping label) and last week I emailed them to see whats going on... They basically told me "Its in queque to get inspected." Does this mean they forgot about me? or that they're dealing with a lot of "damaged" weapons.
Update July 12, 2012
Well came home today and saw that I received 2 boxes when I only expected 1 (from midwayusa). Saw that the other box was from Rachester NY and knew right away that it was pistol... Kinda figure that they were just going to replaced the damage parts and send it back to me without notifying me...
Anyways, everything i sent to them were sent back to me. Included in the box was a repair order saying "Disassembled and replaced the slide and recoil spring guide. Test fired with CCI Mini-Mags with no faults." I disassembled it myself and they did indeed replaced the parts listed above, but you would think they'll clean it before sending it back to me...
Well i guess i'm stuck with this pistol for a while. I guess if i decide to shoot this again, it'll always be recorded and with cci mini-mags only

. Can't believe they've actually been getting $300+ for that POS.
