I have a GSG 1911 22LR...........It is a nice plinking gun but it came with cheap plastic sights.....they are not standard dove tail...who could I replace them them....several guys I know would like this done

Jack_F,
I would think that any good 1911 smith shop could mill in a dovetail of standard size or drill in for a post type front sight. You could call Robar or any of the big name shops to ask for a quote. You could also search for a small smith local to you that could do it for less money too. Just a suggestion.

There is a lot of online information on the GSG, not all complimentary, but to each his own.

I was hoping there was a gun smith or machinest on this forum.

It only takes very minor "fitting" and is pretty much a "DIY" job. Just Google "GSG 1911 sight replacement" and there are lots of links with good information including part numbers, pictures and "tips".
Here's one link, not necessarily the best. http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=289020
I really like mine. I only have 2700 rounds through it but it's been 99.9% perfect and trouble free with just an occassional FT eject. I've considered changing the sights but am reluctant to sink money into a pistol that is really just a low priced, fun, little shooter. Also, mine is reasonably accurate out to 50 feet. Then, not so much, that's with me on the trigger. YMMV ;D One thing's for sure: They really are a lot of fun and provide a lot of bang for the buck. :)

It's a good gun for the money.....I bought a Browning 1911 A1 22LR......85% size.....not target pistol but great fun...ideal for kids

Now, you're talking, Jack. How is the trigger pull on the Browning?
