Wait to see how the guns perform first. When the early run of Sig Mosquitoes came out I excitedly bought one. The only other exciting moment I had with that gun was when it sold on Consignment and I bought a Ruger 4.5" 22/45.

Let others test out new guns for a year of two before committing your money to it. Trust me, I was a gun tester for a lemon design and it's not fun at all!!!
 
Judging by the numerous problems appearing on the US threads relative to feeding/jamming with the M22, my vote goes to the 1911. It seems that there is a common problem experienced no matter what type of ammo is used.

Been there man! the most happy day that I owned the P22 was the day that I sold that gun.

We are excitedly expecting our first shipments of both the GSG 1911 and the ISSC M22 to arrive next month; we are currently waiting to receive cost calculations from the manufacturers, which will allow us to advertise definite prices. By the end of the week, we should have all of the information posted to our online store, where we will be accepting pre-orders for both of these pistols. The ISSC is the improved Canadian version, which should have no problems at all. Stay tuned for updates!
 
Me, personally I'd go the dedicated .22lr 1911 over the Glock look-a-like.

NAA.
 
I really like the look of it and all the reviews I have read from US sites have good things to say. I also read one post and have been looking for coroboration(sp?) that you can swap out uppers for centerfire calibers. That would be freaking sweet :D
 
I found the following at tactical22.net


GSG 1911

Found this on a forum dated April 1 2009

80% interchangeable with other 1911's. What this means is that you can't swap out only the slide, guide rod, barrel or spring with a .45 and expect them to work. In other words, don't expect to put a recoil spring from a .45 into this gun and expect it to work (I know this sounds insulting to your intelligence since it's common sense but they told me this in order to cover their own butts). HOWEVER it is FULLY interchangeable if you swap out ALL of the parts I mentioned above. In other words you could say this gun is backwards compatible and turn it into a .45 from a .22. Put simply this gun is meant to be able to convert to a .38 super, .40 S&W (I believe, I did not ask) and .45. As such if you wanted to swap out the trigger, mainspring housing or tweak it in any way at all to bring it up to "target 1911 standards" then you can do that as freely as you would any other 1911. I saw a comment before that a Kimber conversion would cost less (I usually see prices floating around $300 give or take $30). Keep in mind though that if you buy this pistol for $350 you can convert it to a .45 for around $200, instead of buying a decent pistol for $600, or more, and converting it for $300. Also this gun and its parts are measured in american standard (inches) not in metric.

I hope that mine arrives soon.

A buddy bought one a couple of weeks ago. It was a jam-o-matic... we fed two or three different brands of ammo and it made no difference. It might just need to break in, it might need more lubrication or it may function better with hotter ammo like stingers or mini-mags.... But out of the box with a range of "normal" .22LR ammo, it was less than impressive. It jammed at least three times per mag for the 100 or so rounds we put through it... :( For his sake, I do hope it gets better.
