American Tactical?

[Jimi Jah]

Are these any good? Turner's has a couple on sale. One is a 1911 .22LR model, the other is a mini 1911 .22LR.

Anyone have these? Are they worthy?

I've had the full size for a couple years, I like it a lot, good stand-in for a 1911 (minus the recoil of course) in terms of weight and feel. has been reliable, can't think of any malfunctions not ammo related. has eaten everything i've fed it, mainly CCI and federal, some thunderbolts. accurate enough for me, but i mainly are using it as a bullet hose on ranges less than 15 yards

FYI, not sure if you guys have Sportsmanswarehouse down there, but it's $250ish on sale now, and you can order it online for store pick-up:

Mags used to be in the $30 range, but they're regularly running $20ish at places like gunmagwarehouse now, i think it originally came with just one mag
The slide is some lightweight zinc alloy, the paint's kinda weak, the gun has some weird chemical smell, not sure if it's the paint or the grips.
Takedown is similar to regular 1911, except one must remove a little screw -- i don't want to wear on the frame, so i usually just end up boresnaking the barrel and wiping down the action as best as i can.

overall for sub $300, i think it's a great buy

I have one and it works fine. Just keep in mind the slide is pot metal and it isn't an Olympic or Bullseye precision pistol. The finish will wear off quickly if you're using a holster.

But I've had no problems with mine and it shoots everything I feed it. It's great for plinking fun or cheap training for helping with your .45 ACP or 9mm 1911.

Yes, they are good. I had a full size one. Yes, they're worthy a fun plinker.

The pistol made by German Sport Gun or GSG, American Tactical Inc. imports and sell it in US. I had a full size one. The size is 1911 size but the weight is not , much lighter. The front and rear sights are plastic, the slide is made of aluminum (or something similar), somebody criticizes this is a pot metal but for me it's OK (what are you expect for a $270) . The upper is different from 1911 but the lower is very much the same, I may say the same. The pistol will eat all kind of ammo. Overall, it is a good gun for $270.

Side note, if you already had Buckmark then buy this gun, if you do not have Buckmark yet then buy Buckmark instead of this gun.
If you are planning to buy a .22LR adapter for your 1911 of Beretta 92FS, then buy this gun, it is cheaper and you have a whole gun.

The model on the CA roster has a zinc oxide slide. While there is a model with an aluminum slide you have to get that one used.

Though if you're interested in spending some money and having fun with it you can get quite a bit of after market stuff for them.

It's actually a SIG 1911 22lr and worth it.

There's a difference between the full size and the compact size. The full size is a great gun and very reliable. Oppositely, the compact size jams every 4-5 rounds. I have the full size and I shot the compact size.

If your talking about GSG 922 1911 mine had very few jams out of 500 rounds.
I was using CCI high velocity.

Like others, I had the fullsize with no issues. I used plated round nose CCI ammo and it rain perfectly. When running some of my older Remington Thunderbolt ammo, I would have a failure to feed maybe every 30 rounds or so.

I like the fact that the frame and even magazine have some good weight to them.

As with all .22 semi, the guns need to be cleaned and lubricated enough to function perfectly. 500 rounds without cleaning seems that it reaches its threshold. That's not the problem with the gun itself.

22RL is a very filthy round, around 300-350 rds I run a snake through the barrel and wipe out the breech surface.

What I wanted to hear. I have thousands of Federal AutoMatch I'll run but I also have some copper plated stuff.

Looks like I'll be adding another 1911 to the collection...

I have the full size 1911-22 and it shoots just about anything. I upgraded most of the internals to get a better trigger pull and replaced the sights as well. My brother just got the 922 and it hasn't had any failures in the two range trips we've taken it on.
