The ATI GSG 1911 .22 LR pistol delivers classic 1911 styling with modern rimfire reliability and an impressive 15-round capacity. This silver aluminum-framed pistol provides shooters with affordable training opportunities while maintaining the familiar feel and operation of the legendary 1911 platform.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional steel-framed 1911s, this GSG model features a lightweight aluminum construction that reduces overall weight by approximately 30% while maintaining structural integrity. The .22 LR chambering allows for extended training sessions at a fraction of the cost of centerfire ammunition. The 15-round magazine capacity significantly exceeds standard 1911 configurations, providing more shots between reloads during practice sessions.
