Any opinions on the GSG 1911?

I'm looking for an affordable handgun for casual shooting. I like the look of the GSG 1911 and I can get one for $470 at a local place. I won't be locking in my decision for a little while, but I thought I'd get some opinions now.

On a related note, how would you compare it to a Beretta 92 or a Px4 Storm? Those are the other ones that stand out to me, since I happen to have a couple of magazines that would fit those.

You can pick them up cheaper used on CGN. I have one. Other than being picky on ammo and liking to be fairly well oiled, it's a great gun. Tack driver. I shoot 1911s in IPSC and it's a great training aid. Highly recommend, they're solid.

Mine's pretty worn in at this point. It will cycle pretty much anything, but is most accurate with HV mini mags or Aguila HV. Most of my stuff likes the Aguila, I just bought like 3500 rounds of it on sale.
