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.

Echoing Beretta erratas opinion. If you want a .22lr to look like something else you recognize that you are giving up a little reliability for the look.
I have a GSG 1911 and it runs fine. I think it's perfectly adequate as a cheapish .22lr pistol.
Also look around because GSG 1911's or Sig 1911-22's can be had brand new closer to $430 or less.
