The GSG-1911 CA mirrors the look and controls of a traditional 1911 while running economical .22 LR. It is built on an alloy frame with a matte black finish and a steel fixed barrel, delivering the familiar full-size handling of a Government-length pistol with an overall length of 8.5 inches.
Its fixed-barrel blowback system is secured by a barrel fixing screw/pin. The slide includes rear serrations for positive manipulation, and the pistol wears 3-dot sights. Additional front sight blades are included.
Controls are true to the platform: single-action only operation with a manual thumb safety and a grip safety. This CA model also includes a magazine disconnect. A skeletonized three-hole trigger and a commander-style rowel hammer complete the 1911-inspired fire-control setup.
Ergonomics are enhanced with checkered double-diamond wood grips. Capacity is 10+1, and this pistol ships with three factory 10-round magazines. The magazines are German-made GSG 1911-22 units.
Markings include German proof marks (DE), GSG – 1911 CA model designation, "MADE IN GERMANY," and the American Tactical (ATI), Rochester NY import mark. The serial number is repeated on the slide and the frame, consistent with GSG production and import practices.
