Yesterday I received my beautiful sig 1911-22 from Tenda. It is advertised as the standard sig 1911 22 (GSG 1911 with different markings) pistol. It appears to comes with rosewood grips and a mag and manual etc. However it came with standard faux wood grips and 2 mags. Sweet! I noticed the different grips and then I noticed the slide was different. It's not the standard rounded top Gi style 1911, it is the blocky sig style slide with angled rear slide serrations and nice linear milling along the length of the slide. However it's super light like the regular aluminum or zinc alloy gsg slide. It looks excellent! I like the look way better than the standard gsg style. I just haven't been able to find any information on them.
Did Sig change the design for 2016? Has anyone else bought one recently?
I disassembled and cleaned it and it is all the standard gsg style guts. I installed the ZRTS ultimate kits and it feels quite smooth despite the overspray on the inside of the frame. I'll polish these parts after the first range visit.
Range report and pictures to follow.
Edit: range report*
(I was asking about whether the barrel screw is necessary after upgrading with the zrts kit)
So I put 450 rounds through it today 150 with the screw installed and the rest without. I found it made absolutely no difference in function. Now here is the bad. I am getting light primer strikes every magazine. It started off performing good and just got progressively worse. I cocked the hammer back and it fired every time on the second shot after the ftf. There was no order to the fail to fires, it was random rounds through the magazines. It failed using both mags. I also had a couple failures to go into battery after 400 plus rounds but I'm considering that due to dirt. It seemed to run better with m22 ammo and was failing 3 of 10 with mini mags towards the last 150 rounds which blew my mind. But it liked the m22's so I will feed it those.
Sorry for rambling on but I want to give all details prior to asking for input on the failures.
Anyone experience this with their gsg or sig 1911 .22's?
