The German Sport Guns (GSG) 1911 in .22 LR is a rimfire pistol modeled after the classic Colt 1911 platform - but chambered for the economical and low-recoil .22 Long Rifle cartridge. It's designed primarily for sport shooting, training, and recreational plinking, giving you the familiar 1911 ergonomics without the cost or recoil of a centerfire pistol. Comes with box and owners manual. Action: Semi-automatic, blowback-operated, single-action only (SAO). Ergonomics & Controls: * Beavertail grip safety & ambidextrous thumb safety (much like a standard 1911) * Extended trigger with adjustable over-travel Training & Plinking: Very popular as a practice pistol because .22 LR ammo is cheap, has low recoil, and lets new shooters learn the 1911 layout safely. Good for target work at typical rimfire pistol ranges (25-50 yds or so), helped by the longer sight radius of the 5 barrel. Classic 1911 feel without centerfire cost. Good fun for range days and skill practice
