Update on the GSG 1911.

[Demitrios]

I'm not defending anything so much challenging someone who throws a comment out there that doesn't benefit anyone, like it's law. Granted I am excited about taking a look at this thing it's not exactly like I own stock in GSG. I understand what you're saying about me being incorrect with my definition, but by that same rationale is there any 1911 that's a TRUE 1911 anymore? Most have scallops on the side behind the trigger, almost none use a spur hamer anymore, many have a beavertail grip safety, etc. And keep in mind in 1931 Browning designed a .22 conversion for his 1911, which means the 1911 that shot .22's pre-dates many other rounds that the 1911 fires. Keep in mind, I'm only nit-picking here, please do not take this as me trying to start an argument, I only want to show my, and other, sides to this picture and I've no aggresive feelings while typing this.

I understand that's all nit-picking.

I (as you know) was referring to the firearm community's acceptable definition of the 1911 clone.

I am merely suggesting that you don't get too excited before the product hits the market.

How dissapointed would you be if they turn out to be total crap?

Got to agree that there has to be a hidden agenda here. I have never seen anyone hawk a product so aggressively sight unseen, to total strangers.
I fail to get excited by internet hype. If, and when, the product comes to market, we'll learn the true nature of the beast.

Demitrios thanks for all the info. I will look into one of these models

Alright, basically I decided to start this thread simply because it's a pretty unique thing, a 1911 built for the .22 lr (the Chiappa hadn't come out when I started this thread). Yes I am excited to see this pistol come out and I thought that others might be excited as well so I decided to do a little work and keep people updated. Because one person posts an ignorant comment and I decide to call him out on it now I've got people thinking I have a hidden agenda. Alright, two things, you are all right and I am completely wrong. I concede that my comments were out of line, completely unwarranted and I've misused this forum the last few posts of mine. The other thing is can I get a moderator to shut this thread down? I've done enough posting and updating and if anyone else is interested they can get whatever other info they want themselves.
