Every thing works like a normal 1911 , but for one section of the take down.
There's one screw to remove and a pin. they lock the lobe on the barrel to the frame, relatively the same lobe that would be on the swing link, but on the GSG 22 it's integral to the barrel.
It's "odd to shoot" feels like a 45, works like a 45, and pull the trigger, and it's just odd to here the little "poof" and the ner nill re-coil and light action of the slide to the 22lr from this "45" your holding. But a blast to shoot at about 1/10 the cost for ammo.
I had two ACEs to pick from, I could have picked up one of 'em, but didn't have the funds for either. At the time the CMP....... need say more, ... anyway the GSG is about 1/4-1/5 the cost of a ACE. But of course not the same level of pistol either, but fun non the less.
