Have you considered a Ruger 22/45? Same grip angle as the 1911.

Try and find a Colt Ace. I love mine, has the same feel and similar recoil as the real thing. Post WWII models can be found fairly reasonable on Gunbroker.

If they are on GB and not in California they can't be brought in. They COST,also. Pete

What GM4spd said and when I checked on GB they are going for well over $1,500

The GSG 1911 really is your best choice if you want a .22 1911 in CA. Sig has one but it is not on the roster.

Budget

If you are on a tight budget, say $500, the positive comments on the GSG seem to out weigh the negative. If I had $750 I might see if a RIA tactical and 22 Kimber kit fits into your budget so you have both a 45 and 22. If $1.1k is avail a Kimber and conv kit is a nice match.

The GSG looks nice, is it full sized? Haven't seen the 22/45, looks interesting.....

The GSG is full sized and the best bang for the buck.

I personally think it is silly to spend a couple hundred more for the Kimber. I mean for the money you can get the GSG AND a RIA Tactical.

For the money the best bet is a gsg. I just went thought the exact same thing and after all of the reading and comparisons I concluded that you can't beat the gsg for the value.

My two cents, if you can find a colt ace, buy it, rare to find but worth the money. If you want a accurate plinker that doesn't break the bank, you can't beat the gsg 1911, 80% changeable parts with real 1911's and it's a .22!

Love my gsg, its been a great plinker!
