ATI GSG 22LR Semi-automatic 1911 Pistol (Best Handgun 2020)
A 1911 clone with the right weight and feel and an identical manual of arms as the original, at THIS price? It’s a welcome sight indeed.

Everything on this gun is awesome accept the magazine, loading the CO2 to be specific, treading the cap into the cartridge when the CO2 tank is full is tricky, very high chance of cross treading the cap… then you need to buy a new mag.. it really does suck because the rest of the gun is awesome..I’m on my third magazine and they are just as expense as the real gun’s mags actually cost more

I have owned this model for 18 years now. I use it off and on too keep my shooting skills alive and sharp. I had a malfunctioning pump in its first year but had it factory fixed at no
cost and had no issues ever since. Accuracy is wonderful but dependent on what you feed it. Get good quality target pellets for tight groups and overlapping shots. The grip is sculpted and adjustable to the hand but is best for a larger hand that fits a larger glock, or hi cap. Auto. It’s been good to me.

Yeah its pretty good to me. To put it mildly, this is a great pistol for anyone seeking a .22 for whatever reason. Its grip only feels a bit like a 1911.

makes trigger-reach simple even for those with smaller hands, besides offering a more compact profile for those carrying the M9A3 concealed. All this, plus the crisp checkering on the front- and backstrap as well as removable wraparound grip, make any combat hold simple and consistent.

otal of about 1800 rounds at this point. I have not had a single malfunction, so I believe the reliability of these guns is excellent, even when they get pretty dirty.
Accuracy feels substantially better to me than a standard M9. I get very tight groups, and when shooting from a rest, I can get close to my M1A accuracy at 20-50 yards, which I think is incredible (handgun vs. full rifle).
I’ve owned a number of other pistols, but this is by far my favorite. I’m so happy with it.

I picked up one of these last monday 7/13/2020, after a 17 day wait (gotta love california), and I must say the wait was well worth it. After two trips to the range and 450 rounds thru this bad boy, Im very impressed. The pistol has functioned flawlessly, with only one malfunction which was operator related (my buddy racking the slide after his 4th shot causing a double feed). But otherwise the gun has been beasting (for a .22) .
