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.

I have 2 one of them with over 100k rounds through it, mine cycle pretty much everything with a failures here and there when it gets really dirty. I do however feed it the absolute cheapest ammo I can find it takes alot longer to start getting failures with decent ammo

Yeah wore out a dozen mags, 2 slides and a barrel replaced under warranty as well as changed out all the small parts probably 4 times.
