^ I don't get it either? What's the issue with serial # paranoia? The feds already know everything about the owner in their records, is the concern someone will copy the number or look up the owner?
Don't fall for the Sig-22. Such a waste of money. It's a GSG 1911-.22 with a different decal at a way higher cost.

If you want to build a bullseye pistol in the future (other than a plinker), I would look elsewhere than the GSG or Sig Mosquito (same factory, bigger price). The shear volume of accessories for the Ruger MK3s make them customizable so you can upgrade it as your needs change. Check out the Volquartsen website and get an idea what you can do in the future if you chose to.
My MK2 was great, felt stupid for selling it. I bought a MK3 (competition target), didn't like it out of the box, but added the Sam Lam bushing, the VQ target sear and polished a few other items and now its the best pistol I could hope for (in my budget) and -without question- will last many lifetimes. I don't think there are too many GSG owners contemplating handing them down to their kids, but I may be wrong. My father gave me his Gen2 Colt Woodsman, and it is a brilliant shooter, I would say that my MK3 is every bit as good (although the Woodsman is lighter).
If you are going to get a GSG, buy a used one. They seem to show up periodically on the EE and Epps, certainly more so than the MK2/3s. It is a wonderful feeling to use a 1 inch black sticky dot on a target and put at least 6 of 10 into it at 35ft (and the other ones are not far off), knowing that it is your fault the other 4 are not in the dot! With my sig I would be lucky to have 1 in that dot.
All of that said, a revolver is a great idea.... no hot brass flying around to get down your shirt, or to have to sweep up.
IMO, blah blah blah.

The silencer is a prop. No actual function to it. That package does include the gsg with a rail, though. So you might want to go that way for the tacticool factor. You did mention a laser in your original post after all. You can also get the railed version without the fake surpressor. All the different version have the threaded barrel to be able to screw on a fake silencer - so you could probably pick one up later if you don't get one now.

You can get them with fakes.
Agreed the model 41 is a wonderful pistol, but not exactly in the same category...and even the 41 will jam, FTF/FTE when it's dirty...it shoots rimfire after all.
