On the range everything works well, only the gripsafety does not work for me . I have a really high grip on my guns and so I don't disengage the safety well enough. Thats were the rubberband and piece of cardboard comes in the game.

Anybody can tell me how to take the gripsafety off ?

Oh, no... Quick, hide that grip safety picture. :D

Go to Canadian Tire. Buy the cheapest bicycle tire tube. Cut a band about 2" wide. Use that to engage your grip safety.

Ideally, you should replace the grip safety with one that fits your hand, but I've been using the tube ever since I got the GSG 4-5months ago. Just remember to remove it after shooting or you'll end up with rust developing under it.

I took my GSG out to the range today. Put 1000 rounds CCI mini mags and Federal copper plated through it and no problem at all.

Now, I'm new to a 1911 style pistol . I love my plastic guns because they are easy to take apart and I shoot very well with them.

So I thought ,lets take the magazine disconnect out. Not a big deal ,I guessed .
Problem was I did not have a Punch ,so I invented a upside down drill bit in my powerdrill . Got it out and took the magwell out ,:eek: let go of the grip safety and the parts underneath came loose .Take the magazine disconnect out of the magwell ,pull the spring and "zing" the dam thing fly's through the dark man cave f:P: .
On my knees ,flashlight on I'm zooming every inch of the floor and find it !
I put the magwell back in ,push the pin in and ..... slip with my improvised tool ,scratch on magwell ,frame and chipped walnut grip. :HR:

and I had to put the tall front sight in , but it is kind a loose in the notch ,so I have to screw it in harder and front sight comes a bit higher this way ? Is this normal ?

Now Pics.

Wow..I have never seen a Buba,d 1911 before, thanks!
 
I went to the range today, figured I'd try some Stingers. Started with the bulk Federal, noticed that there were some uneven powder loads in these. Still shot fine however.

It seems when I just get to the range, my first few mags-I shoot poorly. Then I get better the longer I've been there. Consistency must get better with experience? It feels like every time I go to the range, I have to remember what my perfect stance, trigger pull, etc, is. I'm assuming because I only put about 700 rounds down range with this gun. It's not blueprinted in me yet.

Tried the Stingers, WOW! Noisier, big muzzle flash, was a little surprised. I've never seen a muzzle flash that big from a .22lr round (bigger than my 9mm and 45acp). I knew they were hot, but didn't expect that. The recoil seems the same strength, but pushing back instead of a little muzzle rise from the Federal bulk. Thought there would be problems with the longer case on the Stingers, but there wasn't. These hot rounds definitely spiced up my shooting experience. Pretty cool. Never thought shooting a .22 would be so much fun.

First time doubling up on hearing protection. There is a difference. I have 2 Peltor Ultimate 10's on order. Should make a difference with the larger calibers inside. Not worth gambling with my hearing.
 
I love mine, I go through about 500 rounds every day I go to the range with it, the only thing that hasn't worked for me are CB Longs (subsonic). They shoot well but don't fully cycle, I just buy stingers and velocitors. There perfect.
 
What is the price like for the Velocitors? Similar to the Stingers or cheaper? I tried the Federal Gold Medal Target 1200 f/s and they worked excellent too. They're expensive though. More even powder loads than the Federal Bulk.

Hey CRAZYLOCH do you order yours with that grip or is it aftermarket?

Aftyermarket of course, these are Pachmayers American Legend series 1911 Grips. I LOVE rosewood, and it has the Decelerator Rubber for much better control.

Using same grips for both 9mm, and 22 (waiting for extra for my 45) will allow me to get better muscle memory for handling 1911 (was a glock guy before... different grip)

:D
 
GSG 1911 .22lr

There was a nice used on on the EE yesterday for $380 shipped with 2 spare mags. Sold very quickly. I missed out on it by a couple minutes. :(

I'm still thinking about getting a second one. :cool:
