GSG 1911 Question about issues
I picked up a GSG 1911 .22LR and I'm having some issues with it. I'm a newbie so I just wanted to know what people thought. I field stripped it and cleaned it, and lubed it up and took it to the range.
Accuracy was great but cycling was really bad. Most of the time it wouldn't eject the casing, and if it did eject the casing, half the time it would get stuck in the ejection port.
Also, most of the time it wouldn't load the next round into the chamber. So I ended up having to pull the slide back after almost every shot.
Could it be the ammunition I was using? (CCI Clean-22, 40 Grain, 1235FPS. High Velocity Poly-Coated red & green round nose)
Is it because it was my first time with this new gun and it needs to be broken in?
Do I need more lube in it maybe?
Help!

Mine runs pretty good then and eats most ammo without too many issues. Mini Mags are flawless tho and the gun smoothes out with use. I'd just try and run a brick of round nose mini mags through it and I bet it'll be a keeper.
