GSG 1911-22; Added the CW accessory kit, having some issues. (mostly fixed)

[Mayor McRifle]

I own a GSG-made SIG Sauer 1911-22 with one of these accuracy upgrade kits installed. It's easily the worst gun I've ever owned.

You can't polish a turd but you can make them pretty shiny. I'd prefer to sink any spare gun $ into my center fire 1911's.

As is, it's accurate enough and cheap to use. Who could ask for more?

Fun to shoot and as accurate as the shooter

The upgrade kit isn’t what I was talking about. A fully upgraded CWA GSG is what I was talking about as seen in my posts above. Do you have the CWA complete upper?

No. One tube of lipstick didn't make a difference. I didn't see how a whole case of lipstick would help. I generally don't like throwing good money after bad.

I'll spare you the indignity of having it, and I'll throw in a hundred bucks?

LMAO.

Ok, so you’ve never tried one and obviously are not into building custom guns, but still felt the need to comment about one. Cool, that’s super helpful, so thanks for that.

Since this thread is about issues with a CW accessory kit on a pot metal GSG and your advice was to turn it into a “racegun,” I might have saved someone a lot of money. So you’re welcome.

Here's my thought - I'd never tinkered with guns before so I thought this mught be a cheap way to generally learn how to mod up a gun. But if it's an overall unsatisfying experience, and I can't get it to run the way I want within a reasonably small cost, I'll just sell it and buy a Buckmark and then later on see if i can find an old Colt Ace or Walther/Colt for the 1911-22 thing.

I love the form factor on the thing, I just want it to shoot more accurately than it currently does.

Don't listen to these jerkoffs, it's a fine gun. It's not a $3000 Wilson, but it didn't cost $3000.

It's a fun little gun, especially for the money.

OP sorry about your problems. But this thread is a good case history and a reminder of what upgrading a weapon (pistol, rifle, bow) can become. On the bright side, you will come out with a better understanding of the GSG than the original designer. Thanks for sharing (painful projects sometimes don't make it to forums). Hope it works out well in the end.

I agree, it'll make for a good experience-builder project.

I still might get a buckmark anyway because I like those.

I'll be taking it to the range tomorrow. I made a small check-sheet of what combinations of parts will allow the gun to work and what doesn't. It'll be interesting to see what I find.
