Pezco Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 My Marvel conversion works great on my S&W and Wilson Combat 1911's and is super accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GmanCdp Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I use a unit 1 and unit 2 Marvel's and both are real accurate and run fine most of the time with CCI stingers. I also have a Kimber Super Match which i like the best,cause it fits the holster better..All run real good with Winchester 333's..Mags for the Marvels give me the most problems,which i use on a Baer frame. Colt frames seem to do better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caz41 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 I just got the gsg 1911 .22 from Freedom Gunworks. The one thing I can say about it is that I have put 500 rounds or so through it with all cheap (I mean real cheap) 22 and she goes bang all the time. It is not picky. Is it unmolested, or did Bobby do anything to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTBfarms Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Make the trigger pull as close to the same as my competition 1911's and a flat mainspring housing. That is pretty much all I want to do to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not taken it apart yet. I'm going to tear it apart when it quits functioning. I want to see how long it will run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOGA Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Mine is Marvel conversion 1 over a dedicated caspian frame. It works good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammer1911 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 The GSG 1911 also has spare mags readily available. very acurate but does need a trigger job. Let me know if a regular 1911 MH fits I would like to trade out mine as well. Great gun for the money and inexpensive practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzygä Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Mine is STI .22 conversion kit and it works fine with 1911 frame (S&W). I like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 My Marvels have been 100% reliable. They are not ammo sensitive. They have one thing the others don't--an accuracy guarantee. They all shoot less than 1"@50 yards. You will see plenty of Marvels on the line at Camp Perry. Marvel also supports the shooting sports,being at Perry every year. My 2 cents.

Canuck223 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I got the chance to test drive a GSG 1911 today. Yes, the trigger could use some cleaning up, but as it appears to be stock 1911 parts, it should be simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 It looks like there are some new options out there since the last activity in this thread. Does anyone have any experience with the Sig 1911, or the Browning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynes_world_45 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 This...I use mine at a steel match every month...no hiccups as long as you keep it clean and wet I have a kimber 1911 22 set up with similiar sights to my competition 1911 It runs great as long as you keep a light coat of oil on it I would use it in any 22 competition with no hesitation You get what you pay for in most situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norther Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I have the Sig. It's identical to the GSG. Cheaply made, works good, much more reliable than my Kimber conversion. Uses mostly standard 1911 parts, which is good because upgrades are needed on some things--sights (Novak cut), MS housing, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmiller Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I have the gsg, broke a guide rod and firing pin. Called the importer, sent me a firing pin free of charge. Put in a cw accessories guide rod and put on their mag bases. The pistol is alot of fun. Some local matches now have a 22 division . They are becoming more popular.

SlowShooter Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) I've been running my GSG-1911 in rimfire matches for about 4 months now, probably 4k rounds, between practice and matches shot. I can practice with pretty-much any .22 ammo with 99% reliability. But for competition I chose one particular brand of ammunition to ensure 100% when it counts. A lot of that bulk-pack ammo can be trouble (primer hits but no ignition, deformed bullet nose, etc). Find a brand that works in your gun. the gun+ammo need to work together. I added a Dawson precision fiber front-sight, it helps. The GSG-1911 has performed good for me. On Main Spring Housing (MSH): I have not done it personally but a friend of mine did swap his MSH. It fit. I have read that you need to transfer the GSG's original main-spring into the new MSH. (eg so you kept the correct main-spring power for the rimfire) Edited March 28, 2012 by SlowShooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read that you need to transfer the GSG's original main-spring into the new MSH. (eg so you kept the correct main-spring power for the rimfire) I saw that too, but it's not true. I put in a flat MS housing on mine, and since I had a good quality lightweight hammer/sear/disconnector set laying around, I swapped that in too. Trigger was vastly improved, but I had a lot of light hits. I figured the lightweight trigger parts and the stock MS didn't go together, and put in a 17 lb (IRC). Now I still get a few light hits on cheap CCI Blazers, but that might be the ammo. Think I'll try an 18 lb before the steel matches start up for the summer.

Boss1622 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 It sounds like the GSG is a solid gun, I think I will stop by the gunshop on my way home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeerfieldCurly Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I have a GSG and it runs OK. It will run most any ammo, but I have been able to outrun it. I also have a Kimber Rimfire Super, it is a very nice lightweight gun. But it only runs reliably on CCI mini mags. And that is what Kimber will tell you too. I also have a Kimber Rimfire in .17 mach2. It can't get through a mag without a FTF. Kimber blames that on ammo too. I guess that is why they made 300 and gave it up.
