Update on the ATI 1911 .22 pistol
From Chris @ American Tactical Imports:
I can say that it feels just like holding an actual 1911, will come with a 10 round magazine and will be of fine German engineering. We have an expected MSRP of $369.00 on it but that is subject to change once we receive final importation clearance and see all the manufacturing costs. Check back with us later in the year on tat.
More about the pistol here.


I bought a gsg 1911 two weeks ago and have about 500 rds through it now and really like it , fun gun and cheap to shoot just what I was looking for.
I picked one up 29 April. Have not shoot it yet. Wating for a rainy day. I agree with all comments. It is a great firearm, Fit , finish and handling is great. Store was Palmeto armory in Columbia, SC: asking was $329. I got it for 309, extra mag was 30. You can mail order from them.
Another great 22 is the ISSC Gockalike. Using it to train my sister-in-law for the CCP. She is afraid of centerfires, but the 22 ISSC and hearing protection have overcome. The DSG will continue the training.
Does it have a warranty?
If you want extra magazines try Valley Outdoor Gear, 708 Fairground Rd., Lucasville Ohio 45648, 740-259-4917. They have a bunch in stock. Also, the new GSG 1911 Tactical is out and it comes with a dust cover rail and fake can. Looks like the base model Kimber. Ken
Do you have a phone No. to order Parts?
Can I get Magzaine here from you?
I have two of the GSG1911s, and it is the best .22 pistol I have shot in a long time. Yes, the trigger is a little stiff, but as far as functioning goes, it is a great gun. Occasionally, the slide won’t lock all the way back, but that isn’t a problem. Does anyone know what the thread count is on the barrel, and is anyone making an extension for a suppressor?
Thanks,
Mike
I was up on several of the suppressor web sites the other day GEMTECH, AWC or AAC, can’t remember which but, one of them was selling adapters for the GSG 1911-22. I think the thread size was also listed. Ken
What is the thread size on the barrel ?
Thanks Ken. I just tried out my 22 and I agree with you. I really like it. This is my 1st 1911, other than in the navy, and it will not be my last. I will have my guy at the shop keep his eye out for the .45 cal. I am not looking for a Wilson, just one that is dependable and will last me. Plus now I can practice with the .22 and carry the .45. Thanks, and I got my guy looking 4 mags.
Shane, I have two Ace magazines and neither one will slip all the way into the magazine well. I haven’t had the time to really look into the problem but I will as soon as I get a chance. BTW, I work in a gun shop and get first choice on anything that comes in and we just received two .45 caliber GSG 1911′s; a Commander length and a full size 1911A1. Both guns manufactured in the Philippines. On initial inspection, both guns look to be of very high quality. The slides operate smoothly on the frame rails and the overall machining and fit is excellent. Hard to resist. Ken
Ken, I was wondering since the mag works in your colt does the colt mag work in it. I have been checking and it is almost impossible to find a spare mag, but there are some Ace mags. They r a bit pricey though.
I took the gun completely apart today and the hammer, sear, disconnector, trigger, magazine release, slide stop, thumb and grip safeties are the same as a regular M1911. I also discovered the GSG 1911 magazine also works in my Colt Ace. The slide is incredibly light with all the components removed.
I was less than pleased with the trigger weight so I removed the firing pin block spring and detent and the magazine disconnect (none of my other M1911′s have a magazine disconnect and I really don’t like them). Both modifications were fairly simple with the correct tools. The trigger weight went from seven pounds to three pounds. I then took it out and shot 300 rounds through it with only two first round feed malfunctions probably due to slide bounce. Spent most of the time reloading the single magazine. What a great pistol! Ken
Just received one of these for fathers day. It has the fit and feel of a full size 1911A1. The grip safety is functional, has and ambi-thumb safety and it comes with three front sights of different sizes and one magazine. I took the slide off of it and the instruction manual doesn’t mention the barrel set screw, just the slide stop and lock pin, why the set screw and lock pin who knows. I just took it out and shot 50 PMC Sidewinder cartidges through it without the barrel set screw and lock pin and it didn’t fall apart. The finish is excellent (Parkerized look) and there is just barely a trace of the mold lines on the frame. The barrel has a thread protector on it for the application of a suppressor mount. The trigger is heavier than I would like but it also has a firing pin block in the slide that probably adds some weight to it.
This is a very neat, high quality gun. Not at all like the pot metal Puma or others of the 22 cal. 1911 class. Of the 100 rounds I’ve fired through it there weren’t any malfunctions and it is very accurate. The only thing I don’t like about it is it came with only one magazine. Ken
Just layed oen away Friday. It reall has the feel of a 1911. I am gonna get it out this week. Cant wait!
Is there an update as to the status of Import?
Does it have a functioning grip saftey? Is it just cosmetic? Will the barrel be fixed to the frame or will it be very similar to mil-spec?
Thank you!
I’m definitely waiting on a P22 or ruger and see what these things are like.
Very nice!
yeah guess I shoulda quit drooling and read the whole thing
when and where can we get one of these?
John, they won’t available for a while.
