Is that the rebranded .22 GSG 1911?

 

[hairba111]

I don't know, I just saw it on American Rifleman. Sig may have copied the GSG for all I know.

 

[Plainolme]

Yup, same gun except for the price.

 

[Flipz]

GSG is manufacturing them for Sig.

Call me crazy but I actually like those grips.

Its also nice that since its basically a re-branded GSG all you need to run a suppressor is an adapter since the barrel is already threaded.

MSRP: $420

SIG is charging $80 for their name. You can pick up a GSG for around $340.

 

[annihilation-time]

Sig has the MSRP listed as $399.99 not $420.

I think SIG is going after the Taurus Market, too bad.

I posted this in another thread a few weeks back, but anyway...
Has anyone else noticed that Sig has started putting their name on more and more firearms which are not "Sig Sauer quality" and now not even made by Sig? I can accept that the Mosquito was a lemon, but they continue to put models of lesser quality on the market. IMO- the way they're going its just a matter of time before Sig Sauer loses their reputation as a manufacturer of premium firearms.
I had a P229 which was nice, but I call my Mosquito a Sig Sour because it is a lemon!

 

[annihilation-time]

I think most of the 22 pistols coming out are trash. It's best to stick to a Ruger Mark I, II, III, or a Browning Buckmark. They won't let you down.

After putting over 3k rounds through my gsg, I haven't had many problems out of the ordinary. It's not too picky on ammo (mine doesnt like fed red boxes). It WILL cycle on subsonics too. It's a nice gun and MUCH easier to clean than a ruger.

Don't get me wrong I have the gsg-5 and it's a blast to shoot and as mentioned above it cycles through pretty much anything but I gotta agree with squaregrouper. When you think of sig you think combat quality firearms. Mostly higher end combat quality pistols. Whats going on these days? I wasn't a huge fan of 2022 (yes it goes bang every time) but I was expecting a high quality firearm. I had the option to get one for 320 brand new and turned it down. I guess with the economy going down they are trying to make more affordable guns but also dropping the quality. IMO! I'm with the other guy buy a buckmark (does it look like a 1911, NO, is it a great platform proven for years, YES.) If you want the look PLEASE go with the GSG and save yourself the money.

Meh, I'll get the GSG over that.

 

[jaypark]

a 1911 in 22 cal is like kissing your sister... it dont count

might be a good newbee gun

 

[Lou45]

The Sig 1911 .22 DIDN'T make the MD Handgun Roster this time around because it did nothing but jam

Jam is great on toast but not on a gun. A Sig not making the MD Roster; 'nuff said.

You are crazy.

Go check out the GSG 1911 instead of just talking about it, and you'll see if it's not up to SIG standards (and I don't mean the Gnat). But I guess I'm just a newbie - 54YO and only 40 years shooting 1911s.

But the GSG did get on the list. How or what did SIG do to the gun so it doesn't function?

I would love to know more.
