I think I'm going to have to give in to my craving for a plinkable .22lr autopistol soon. I've had a Buckmark before, but I sold it long ago (needed the money more than I liked the gun). I've looked at the usual suspects (Ruger 22/45, S&W 22A, Beretta Neos, etc.) and I'm impressed, but......
....but then I started seeing all the 1911-type .22lr's on the market, esp. the GSG 1911's. Nice guns, and I've always liked the 1911 platform.
Question 1: How do the 1911-type autos compare to the "traditional" autos in terms of shooting enjoyment, accuracy, and reliability? Are they worthy of their good press, or should I just stick with the horses I know?....
Question 2 (for the gear-heads out there): Is the grip frame of a 1911-style .22lr long enough that, with the appropriate amount of engineering, one could be chambered in .22WMR? Seems like a great platform for all that new .22WMR SD ammo coming out.....
