Yeah, I did kind of notice a certain proclivity for things 1911, especially after looking at your photos!

I might add, just from what I have seen, an outstanding collection at that!
Thanks. I do have other kinds of handguns, but a 1911 just feels right to me.

I think SIG discontinued the GSG made 1911-22 sometime back in 2015/2016, along with the SIG Mosquito, also a GSG product.

ATI (American Tactical), currently carries several models of the 1911-22 with a retail price of $369.
 
This would not surprise me. Not after how Umarex bought up a bunch of the small manufacturers, which included GSG (from memory). Does not mean I can't want one--only that I may not be able to get one. Such is life, or as notre amies francais, c'est la vie.

I recently had the opportunity to compare a new GSG to a new Colt 1911-22.
Believe it or not, I wouldn't even consider buying the Colt over the GSG.
The GSG was better in every way. Tighter, better trigger, better finish. All the way around. I was not able to shoot them, but I would bet the GSG would be better there too.
 
This morning it was a bit damp. Returning from the end of the range here is what I found ... this little guy seems to enjoy 1911 a little to much for its own good o_O
I let him go on a nice grass field.

(Ruger SR1911 repost, now counting 250 rounds without hiccup, it shoots high with S&B 230gr I have to try other ammunitions before making any adjustments)
 
I like my 1911s (have 27 at last count). Here are a few. First, a Nighthawk Falcon (top) and Dan Wesson Valkyrie:

When I carry a 1911 these days, it's most often the Valkyrie above or the DW CCO:

Did I mention I like 1911s?

Those are very nice!
