Ammo in your GSG 1911 22LR Pistol

Prompted by the post by /u/Corvek, I thought it might be nice to separate the discussion regarding the ammo you use in your GSG.

Mine is not very picky at all with ammo. I have shot Remington Golden Bullet, Remington Subsonic, CCI Std Velocity, Aquila Super Extra, and Remington Thunderbolt with no issues.

I clean my pistol relatively regularly, and I use Hoppes No. 9 between the slide and the frame. My slide to frame fit is relatively loose, but without a significant rattle.

Approximate round count on my pistol is 1500

What are you shooting in your GSG? What doesn't work?

Broke mine in with mini mags now it eats most bulk ammo. Hates Winchester super-x

Winchester super-x

Same here. Funny how it says on the box that it's 20 or so FPS faster than CCI mini-mags, but doesn't even cycle the slide on my 1911.
