    Gsg1911.22

    Just jailed a GSG 1911-22! Picked up a couple extra mags too, Looking forward to putting her through her paces in 10 days when I get it home. Anybody shot one without cleaning up the rails, did it run ok? Should I clean them up prior to shooting it?

      Congrats on your purchase!

      Mine had issues out of the box (purchased 2014, not sure if their quality has improved). It was very easy to tell the overspray areas and so ~20min + steel wool is all it took for mine.

        Thanks! I'll probably take it apart to see how it looks, and decide then...

          Clean it and shoot it. CCI 36gr MiniMags work great.

            Got one in January, cleaned and oiled it and it has run perfectly every time. Ran 200 mini mags first, then several hundred auto match. Runs on any good quality high speed ammo without skipping a beat.
            Very happy with it and has renewed my interest in shooting rimfire handguns again.

                Mine ran like a turd at first. I cleaned up the rails and that solved pretty much all of the function issues. Still occasionally get a failure to feed when the mag is loaded to capacity but overall functions pretty well.

                  Mine were fine except the rear sights had to be replaced. They became loose
                  and unserviceable.

                    I took my mags apart and cleaned them. Were kind of oily.

                      Yes, I soaked mine in mineral spirits and cleaned.
                      The preservative oil smelled nasty!

                        Cleaned up the extra mags I bought, will do the same with the last mag that is still with the gun when I pick it up Tuesday...

                        Been reading/watching reviews and by all accounts the factory finish(read paint) is worthless and short-lived... anyone know if the zinc alloy slide and frame can handle a baked on cerakote or similar coating? What temp would be safe for the zinc to handle?

                          On You Tube and Google there are many examples of Cerakoted GSG 1911s.

                            There are aftermarket slides for it as well.

                              You can go all out nuts with your GSG, I did.
                              I sold it a few months ago but here's a picture of my old GSG. 4 mag dumps at 10 yards.
