highorder it is a one piece cast.
Wonder why they would have to make a mock-up? Seems as if there are plenty of 1911 lowers, both cast and forged that might be more representative of the finished product. If indeed the finished product is not two piece. The picture with the two piece lower has got to be negative press to anyone who's ever been in the same zip code with a real 1911. I suspect if this product comes to market, and the picture is representative of the finished product, a few will be sold to the unaware because it "Kinda resembles a 1911". At this point, I think it is dangerous to assume the lower can be used as a 1911 platform. I'll reserve final judgment until such a time as the pistol becomes available. I would welcome a safe, low cost & functional, 1911 style .22. Hope this is it!I vaguely remember reading something from an ATI rep somewhere that the gun in the OP is not a working prototype, just a mock-up, and that the actual frame is not two piece.
I can't find it now, so don't hold me to it, but I think I heard something to that effect.
I bought a Sig P220 SAO .22lr and sent off for the .45 conversion. The Sig was available for $400 a few months ago, but I see that they jacked the prices on them. Phew. $489 now.DasFriek said:I know lots of people who buy the Walther P22 or the Sig Skeeter and have BIG buyers remorse.Most those people bought them as they looked like a real gun,unlike the space fazers you see alot now in the .22 market.
it's modeled after modern day Colt's
Sounds like a plan.
It's a tough call, though, when you consider you can get, say, a Kimber .22 slide for less. Bear in mind that the slide can be shipped right to your door and you don't have to deal with transfer and shipping fees.
The GSG 1911 will NOT be able to use any .22's except high velocity.
