I picked up a used GSG 1911 as a winter project. It's going to be a 3 or 4 part project. For the first step I have gone to CW Accessories and picked up an exoskeleton red dot slide and the accelerator performance package and installed them. It's a pretty darn good shooter now.

Further down the road I'll do some trigger work, change the mainspring housing, add a mag well and compensator and new grips.
My objective is to be shooting steel in the spring.
 
That's a nice looking rig. I have been thinking of doing the same thing to mine for quite sometime but other projects keep getting in my way. Maybe this spring while the wind is blowing and it's not shooting weather I'll get to it.
 
Went to the range today and shot offhand IMG_3447.JPG
at 20yds and 25yds. The lower left target was rapid fire(ish). I think this will do for shooting steel.
 
I picked up a used Sig, earlier this year, which is really a GSG.
With CCI mini mags, it will shoot under 2" groups @ 25 yards.
Other ammo I've tried so far, doubles the group size.
Only things I've done, so far, was to take the parts out that only allow it to be fired with a magazine in place, and took some pressure off the left leg of the sear spring, to get a reasonably decent trigger-pull.
I've been toying with the idea of aftermarket parts to make it more accurate/reliable, but, am torn as what to get, after reading the reviews on Rimfire Central.
 
I would like to try shooting a pistol (or a 22 rilfe) with sights like that. What make and model are they? Iron sights are becoming discouraging for me.
 
I have the GSG and have considered doing the CW accessories thing like you did. Then I wonder why I want to spend as much as the gun cost to make it accurate. It just may wind up as trade goods if I run into something I feel I can't live without. I already have a few 22 handguns that are much better in the accuracy department than it is so my skin flint side may prevail in this decision.

I got this with the intention of doing mods and upgrades. Not a big investment upfront, cheap ammo and a learning experience for me. It doesn't hurt that I like shooting 22s of all sorts :)

I'm guessing that if I shoot this from a rest it would get similar groups. It is certainly fun to shoot.
 
"It doesn't hurt that I like shooting 22s of all sorts."

As do I and prefer them to all other calibers. I dunno, I may decide to do the upgrades. I've become somewhat wishy-washy in my gun decisions as I've aged. Once in a while I hit the jackpot, others I wonder what made me decide to what I did.
 
Does anyone know if the OEM rear sight on the GSG is a standard fitting in a standard dovetail? It looks in photos like a Novak Lo-Mount. Is that correct? Will red dot sight mount plates made for Novak dovetails fit properly? If not, any idea what it is?

I think you have it backwards like so many folks. A cheap base price on a gun should not discourage investments to improve it. The cheap starting price should encourage investment in improvements. The money you save going in can be well spent to produce a top notch semi-custom gun. All for a great total price.
