I think cleaning the overspray from the internal rails is 90% of the problem. Too much resistance just like our government is never good.
Had mine a few years, I put a performance enhancement kit and adjustable sights, love it
Put the upgrade kit back in it and use the factory spring.
I ended up upgrading mine with the metal guide rod and spring . Took it to the range and the slide broke made out of pot metal. But like you I haven't given up on it ordering a new slide we'll see what happens. God bless you and your family!
Never had an issue with mine bu all i run is cci high velocity. You do have to clean them between 250 300 rnds 22lr is a messy caliber.
I bought the upgraded model. The Colt 1911 Rail Gun .22lr made by Walther. Works 100% out of the box.
I’ve never had any problems with mine shooting cci mini mags. Why waste money on the cheap ammo
I dont ha e that particular firearm but my experience with winchester is it fires only in single action revolvers
Mine is at the ffl. Just got to get a day off to go pick it up. I bought it with the same expectations as you. Something to "play" (for lack of a better word) around with even if it wont be reliable
You have to shoot high velocity in them good video my friend
Great Video. I have a Blue Line Solutions Mauser 1911 22lr. The gun is made in Germany, probably by GSG as the parts are identical. I did upgrade it with a kit that had a slightly longer stainless steel guide rod and spring to minimize failure to feed. This particular pistol does not like to run dirty at all. I noticed that if I give a good cleaning and lube after each range visit, it will run pretty good. If I pay careful attention to clean any trace of carbon out the slide and frame grooves, as well as the feed ramp, it will run almost flawless, especially with bulk CCI Blazer 38 grain lead round nose ammo.
Mine runs better after polishing the rails, and with the TTS upgrades. It likes a lot of lube. I had problems with the ejector, which I replaced with a ZRT steel ejector.
I have had mine for 2 years and change the guide rod and spring only. Browning ammo is a problem but otherwise no issues and i have about 1,000 rounds. I do clean it after every use – about 200 rounds
Interesting. I have had zero jams with mine.
these are absolutely junk
i had the same issues with slide, misfeeds and jams.
winchester ammo was the worst offender for it. cci is great though. has to have high velocity ammo through it though.
i found that gently sanding down (super fine grit 2000 sandpaper) the inside of the rail and slide to remove any cerakoting that is in there. it seems like it spills over a little and it causes some friction preventing correct slide function.
after doing that it ran great with the right ammo.
i still have it after a few years and use it regularly. i have no issues unless it gets super dirty (i clean it every 700-1000 or so rounds) and have used it for training new people and women. great price and good gun. accurate enough at 25 mts.
Did you do the mag update as well? And sand the inside of the slide with 2000grid? There is usually some Overspray there. Wich makes the slide not cycle properly
Like they say,try try again! I’ve purchased the upgrades this gun needs to be lightly oiled and or cleaned as needed ! Sometimes break in period can be longer and more ammo run through it. I bought this when they first came out! It needs oil here and there as needed,each and every time it’s taken out to the range. This is a very good gun. Some times the magazines expand with heat and usage. Over time the mags get dirty. I used a thin plastic ruler and a small cotton patch and depress the follower with patch and ruler there is carbon that gets in there ! Keep a goin 😊
Mine runs great. I don't waste my money on Winchester 22 anymore.
Love mine, the best 22 pistol i had so far, better than my mark2 ruger
Did you happen to polish the slides rail? The over spray is what causes alot of hang up, i have one with all the upgrades and i polished it up nice it runs like any other of my plinkers
i've had one for years and never had an issue with it. It isn't the best made 22lr pistol I have, but it may be the most fun. I don't have any regrets and would buy it again.
Watching this video and reading the comments gives me hope for mine. I ran 4 magazines of Winchester through it this weekend and was totally disgusted with the performance. I had multiple rounds out of each mag that didn't fire. I'll be running CCI's through it this weekend to see if that makes a difference.
I have one, initially it was a bit fussy but it is running well now. I removed the little black plastic bush on the guide rod to reduce recoil spring tension a small bit.
Used CWA upgrades……cleaned up the over spray on the slide n rails too…… be well.
It's still new to me, but had many similar issues. God bless you Sir. Jesus does indeed, save.
Thank you for this Video & Info … Jesus Blessings to you and yours … Amen
had issues with mine break in period 40 grain mini mags paint job sucks
From my knowledge GSG suggests using 40 grain high velocity rounds. You stated you're firing 36 grain.
I had one a few years ago that would feed anything but it took a lot of upgrades and work to get it reliable. The slide lock back notch will wear after about 600 rounds and not allow the slide to lock back any more. I replaced the slide with a after market slide and when I sold it things were much better…
Wow!! Wtf !!! I was thinking it's German made so it must be awesome!!! Guess not I was thinking about buying it myself!!!
You’re never gonna have a unanimous decision on any gun. I have two of these type of guns. They are fantastic guns. There are people out there who all these guns That had problems with them, But it is still a great gal. Even the super high dollar guns have problems at times. So anybody who says this is not a good gun. Does not know what you’re talking about. They’re not coming from experience gun knowledge. But just based on the problems they had.
Cool 1
It Has an overspray on the slide
Love this plinker! Own and mine shoots well!500+ and counting. P.s. all stock. Lol
Make sure the firing pin isn’t hitting the chamber. Might have to sand the firing pin some so it doesn’t hit the chamber. This is even with the upgrade
Needs HV velocity ammo. Eventually the slide stop notch rounds out and the slide won’t hold open after the last shot or lock back.
Mine feeds fine but it is very ammo finicky the gsg i have rolls with any remington .22 just fine but aguila and federal it has a lot of failure to fire due to light strikes. My old colt 1911 .22 eats anything I feed it.
I ran 300 rouns out of the box not a single problem holow point and round nose nice fun gun
I am picking mine up from my buying place in the morning. Sharp looking gun. I hope it does OK. I love 1911.
Look for black overspray on the rails, slide & frame and CAREFULLY sand/polish all paint away & lube…mine went from the occasional fail to 100%, even with cheap ammo.
