Best of the breed?

Yup, what he said. Browning screwed up by scaling down to 80% of the real deal. Sig has theirs made by GSG but charges more for their name. GSG's have a good track record, and now that I'm coming around to 1911s, one is on my list.
 
GSG unless you have small hands, in which case maybe a Browning.

The Colt is nice but at least $100+ more and it's not that much better.

There's alot more accessories available for the GSG to tune and personalize it and being 100% dimensionally similar means all your holsters, mag pouches, and stuff will work to.

Chiappa seems to have a ' keep away ' sign on them.
 
Next question - who stocks GSG's?

I told my daughter I'd buy her first restricted firearm once her RPAL is approved. I watched some videos and I may buy one for myself as well.
 
I would love to try the Colt, but they seem to be on the rare side. The GSG's are nice guns, although I think that there are more accurate .22 pistols out there.
 
Thanks guys!

Got a VG/Exc low rd count GSG from a GunNutz subscriber. Nice package. After market grips, sights and three mags.
 
The Colt Gold Cup .22, made by Walther has a very nice balance and good sights but the trigger breaks at around 7-8 pounds (I'm guessing as it's off my RCBS scale's limit of 72 oz.).
Even though it's digested only 300 rounds since new, not a single failure to feed, fire or eject.
Like the feel of it being an alloy frame and like sized to a full on 1911. (little buddy to my Ruger SR1911. They make a nice couple)
Just a heavy trigger pull which can be remedied.
And yes, the Gold Cups are somewhat scarce.
Or you could always break the bank with a Kimber @ over a G note.
I think the Colt has the potential to be a good shooter simply because of it's sleeved barrel design.
The GSG has had some negative reviews because of the barrel bushing being re-assembled improperly resulting in damage. There is a thread about this issue.

I have a Sig branded GSG and I bought a GSG for my brother. The Sig model is built to a higher standard and its performance shows this. They both shoot nicely but the Sig works better and looks better. The $100 Sig premium is worth it after having bought one of each.

What exactly is different about the two guns? As far as I understand, it's only the finish and branding that's different. Not sure how you could possibly see differences in shooting the two.

EDIT: But if they're actually different, I'm happy to buy the SIG. ;)
