On my sig, the frame rails were over-sprayed with the color of the day and instead of redoing the gun, they let the buyer do it with high-velocity ammo until all that shit wore off. With a little light polishing with compound and a lot of hand racking it runs like a clock with any ammo
Thanks for the review Ozzie. Just looking to get into handguns and wanting a 1911 style 22 to eventually move on to a 9mm or 38 super. Look like with a little tweaking of the sights that it shoots most ammo well (other then some failure to feed issue). Would you think the issues would clear up over time. If you still have the guns it would be good to see a follow up review.
Great review. Thankyou. Also watched your Colt versus Sig 22 review. Really liked the new grips you added to the Sig. Love o know where you get those from.
Thanks Mike, try Gold Coast Shooters Supplies as they have Hogue 1911 grips… I got mine from the US but it's a lot to pay for shipping if that's all you're getting in at the time… so my advice would be to see Gold Coast Shooters Supplies here in QLD…
love the Aussie reviews! One thing I find with your bench top videos is that the camera angle gives me a nauseous feeling. can you put the camera on your side of the bench? its looking way to far over the top of the pistol
My experience with gsg is that you want to break them in with high velocity but after you get them good and weathered in they do alright with standard velocity.
Each have their strong points… I've already swapped out the grips and upgraded the sights on the sig, but I'm keen to still do a side by side comparison, talk about them out of the box and shoot them side by side with the mods I have made… they are pretty much the same, same aftermarket sights, same grip etc...
Cool that would be great video because I have just done my training and am now in the waiting zone and will be looking to get a .22 pistol later this year.
The paint brown paint finish wears off really quickly and looks terrible. It generally shoots too high and the sights can be replaced with a set that Nioa sells. Mine jams loaded with 10 but works with 7 perfectly. It's light and feels really toy-like because of the cheap alloy receiver and weak mainspring. I broke the firing pin on mine after 2000 rounds so don't dry fire them. Aside from all of that, it shoots really well and I like it a lot.
I got mine in the end brother , I dont mind this pistol , however since purchase and practice it has presented me with a number of stoppages , fail to extract etc , what Ammo would you reccomend for this pistol that will present me with nil stopages? other than the stoppages the pistol is bloody brilliant , what ever you do dont bother trying to run Highland High Velocity , it just fails every time.
Oops, just answered my own question. Guess I should've read before I ask. Anyway I've had one for over a year and can't complain about it functionality. The finish is another matter, they should've given it a higher quality finish, at least on the slide.
***** Have you tried the CCI stingers yet? If you haven't, your going to be in for quite the suprize! .22 pistols(semi-auto's) need a powerful bullet to perform flawless(slide pushback-ejection). And these deliver! They feel like 3X the blast of a regular HV .22 bullet. You will know what I mean when you try them. I stock and use these sparingly as my self defense ammo! The next best bullet is the armcor 36 gr HV hollow point. They are not like the stingers, but still very powerful and clean firing! I NEVER have issues with these bullets! Other CCI, velocitors and mini-mags are good as well, but the cheaper armscor's still outperform them! and they are only $2.99 box of 50. Just thought I'd share my experience trying different .22 bullets. That was using my Sig Mosquito. I have not fired my 1911-22 at the range yet.
Thanks for your feedback, yep I know the stingers well, but usually get varied results with them… Armscor aren't available down here as far as I know...
Great review. I just recieved the sig 1911 .22 and haven't fired it as of yet. I like your take down demo and comparison of ammo. Thanks.
No problem mate, glad you enjoyed it...

Another great review Ozzie ! Thanks :)
Thanks Brent…!

love the Aussie reviews! One thing I find with your bench top videos is that the camera angle gives me a nauseous feeling. can you put the camera on your side of the bench? its looking way to far over the top of the pistol
No because the camera is on a tripod so if it's angled down at 90 degrees the legs get in the way unfortunately... not a lot i can do
My experience with gsg is that you want to break them in with high velocity but after you get them good and weathered in they do alright with standard velocity.
Great video as always mate keep up the good work
Thanks dude!
Loved the review as always keep up the good work! Can you compare the Sig out the box to the Colt out the box? Is one better quality than the other?

Gor316 No worries, I should be able to get it done fairly quickly...
Im getting On1 thank you very much for your time god bless you
You're welcome Joe, thanks for watching!

How did you remove the mag out safety feature?
Great video!
yeah it looks good to me mate I have gone out and ordered one , did the green pistol have the U.S stamps on the pistol grips from factory??
Yep sure did...
I got mine in the end brother , I dont mind this pistol , however since purchase and practice it has presented me with a number of stoppages , fail to extract etc , what Ammo would you reccomend for this pistol that will present me with nil stopages? other than the stoppages the pistol is bloody brilliant , what ever you do dont bother trying to run Highland High Velocity , it just fails every time.
as per my review mate… you can see what functions in it
Would love one just alittle worried about quality as I have read lots of bad stuff about them.
I'll explain this in detail when I do the side-by-side comparison with the Colt 1911…
great review , very nice sig
Thanks mate...

Yeah the slide is the only negative I've found…
Just curious , where are you located ? Because 675$ sounds pricey.
Can anyone tell me please if a 357 magnum is a class 3 or class 4 pistol?
Does the finish wear off just as easy as the black finish
charlie madson Yeah I believe so, it's just about the same Charlie I'd say...
I thought guns were outlawed in Australia? I got mine today here in the US for $450
Congratulations on getting yours, if you want to know about the gun laws here, please refer to my video I recently did on them as it explains a lot…
***** Thanks! great video
No problem...

Belmont?
Yep...
Seems like Australia like Canada suffers from higher prices. Worse yet, we're right next door to the US. Huh?
Yeah, it does frustrate us a bit but I think our wages are higher here too, not to mention the long haul to send gear to us down here...
Sorry but I had to turn this off after 1 minute due to the music.
