Chiappa 1911-22
[?]Has anyone had as much of a problem with this Chiappa 1911-22 as I have? Stove piping, miss-fires, trigger pull, etc. I've tried 15 different types of ammo with no real results, miss-fires at anytime.....It's like you can almost feel when its going to miss-fire by the trigger pull as if its not completly in battery. I intended to use it for in-door practice this winter, but I am embarrassed to take it to the range......I did return it to Chiappa, HELP!!!

AS they say yours is "PAR FOR THE COURSE" in my opinion the GSG model is MUCH better. 0 -
Hate to rub it in, but it's manufactured from pot metal, ( Zinc diecastings ), can't expect much from something like that.
The least expensive, descent, US made .22 pistol, is the S & W Model 22A . It is head and shoulders above the POS Chiappa quality wise, from my personal experience. IMHO you would be better off getting rid of the Chiappa and picking up a 22A.0 -
I have read some reviews on these guns and on the Chiappa it said you get one that either works or it don't.....Hind Sight....It was there , it was new in the box, and the dealer said he had several in the field with no problems! Later I came to the conclusion that those other guns were not being used.... 0 -
It can be rubbed in....Should have known better...I should trade it back to the dealer for probably $100. credit......I would'nt want to stick somebody that bad......We will see what Chiappa does!!!!!! 0 -
I picked up The GSG but havent shot it they als? had another 22-45 that was not a Chiappa (cant remember the name) ..
The german one seemed to be better metal and some what heavier hope it works will try this week..
What are the GSGs bringing in your part of the world?0 -

+1.
*For the money* the 22A is a surprisingly good gun. The "A" in .22A is for "alloy"; this uses an aluminum alloy frame and slide, but its still a lot better than zinc-alloy "pot metal".
If you want something like a 1911 to train with, you've got a few options (depending on your budget).
-Get a .22 conversion unit to plop on top of your actual 1911. Best thing about this is that since the conversion unit isn't a "gun" you can have it mailed directly to your house with no paperwork.
-Ruger 22/45 costs about $250 brand new in the box, including a nice bull barrel variant. The gun is time tested, being based on the Mark II action and should run great.
-If you've got a little more money, you can spring for one of the older military grip High Standard .22s.0 -

My experience as well. I've owned it a year now. Works best w CCI mini mags and Rem-oil teflon on the inner slide. But still not reliable. Sheesh, what a RIPP=OFF!0 -
Earlier post I made about the GSG 1911 from germany.
Shot it over the weekend 7 mags with seven (I think it will hold more)
5 different people shot a mag and I shot it 2 times.. Smooth as silk out of the box.. no malfunctions.
A little different to take apart to clean but no problem
Boughjt the other on that they had .. I feel it will really be an excellent plinker.
What are they bringing around the country? I Paid 300 plus tax.0 -
got a gsg 1911 clone in 22 & love it....also browning is coming out with a 1911 22lr clone sometime soon...it's on my list of a possible buy 0 -
[:)][:(][;)]I was wondering about how the GSG functioned??? Sounds like a nice piece!! I have not heard anything on my chappa yet !@#$%^&*()_+ I hope they send me a new gun... We will see!!! I did'nt buy that pistol to shoot $6. $7. $8. dollar a box ammo. ( I tried CCI and a few other high dollar rounds and it made no differance) I've always used the federal lightnings at a $1.77 a box. Anyway, glad to hear your GSG is working good. Hows the trigger pull?? I"m not sure what the GSG prices are at this time around here, (USA WIS) Probably $300. plus.........I do know .22 shells are cheaper than gas!!!!! 0
