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.

Go for another brand. My gsg 1911 warped after 1000 rounds (cleaned after every range session). Warp was so bad I couldn’t remove the barrel from the housing and it would spray powder out of the action when fired. I sent it to blueline for warranty repairs which took 8 months and came back with a claim of brass build up, which is crap.
You would be better of with a sig at a similar price.
