I haven't seen a factory .22LR 1911 that rose above the "trashy potmetal plinker" category, and if you buy one of those, you're going to lose three quarters of whatever you spend on it. A good .22 conversion, on the other hand, generally sells for 90-100% of its new price. Guys will pay new money for used just to avoid the wait times.
Having a handful each of mark 3's and buck marks, my favorite 22 for plinking by far is one of the 'trashy pot metal plinkers'(spot on description)....
It definitely wouldn't be one I would gift a young shooter...: but, it's my favorite and by far the highest round count point and shoot cans pistols I have. Accurate NO, provides a thrill when the cans dance... YES!
I can't explain why? Made by Walther, I'd imagine it's a Zamak slide copy of the GSG 1911 22lr.
