The GSG M1911 in .22 LR (brand part no. GSG2210M1911S) is a rimfire version of the classic 1911 with a threaded 5-inch barrel. GSG builds it with an aluminum slide that is black anodized with polished flats for a stainless look, on a black anodized zinc alloy frame with a beavertail. The single-action trigger, ambidextrous thumb safety and grip safety follow the 1911 layout, which makes it a good trainer for shooters who want 1911 handling without the cost of .45 ACP. The threaded barrel opens the door to muzzle accessories on a rimfire pistol, and the fixed blade front and low-profile rear sights keep the sight picture simple.
