Nice gun. But $600 bucks for a .22? I know browning is good quality, but I don't care if god hammer forged it with his swinging Johnson $600 is pretty steep.

Is this just the GSG?
I know the Sig is the GSG.
Sounds like a similar magazine too.

An 85% scaled down version of a 1911 in .22lr. Why?

Exactly, and when you can buy a nice Ciener .22 upper to use on your 1911 frame for half that amount?

I bought a GSG a few weeks ago for about $350.  Love it.  They have a conversion kit that goes for about $200.  I thought about the Browning but the size difference and the price steered me away.  It does look like a neat little gun though.  If you did go that route I bet you would like it.

Agreed.  The Ciener or the GSG would be the way to go.  Although I did see pics of that one GSG slide that split into two, yikes!  Doubtful that's a regular occurrence though.

TacSol makes a great .22 upper for the 1911. They are an Idaho outfit to boot...

I was just curious as to if anyone here had seen one, and how it looked in person, as well as how it felt in hand.
