Final Battle..(Getting it tomorrow) SR22 vs. M&P 22 vs. GSG 1911-22

Okay so after a lot of research, questions, and time I think I've got my final contenders (GSG and S&W)..but I would like some final opinions on these 3 guns before I make my decision in the morning.

Thanks,

Whatever you do, don't make a derision. Look that one up--would be bad.

I've put a couple hundred rounds through the SR-22 and it was a simple joy to shoot. Have not ever seen or shot the others on your list.

Alright, I'll be the nay-sayer because I'm good at it...

Don't get a tacticool .22. They're fine, I guess, but for accuracy and reliability, they can't match guns like the Ruger Mk I/II/III/22-45 or Browning Buckmark.

IMO, if you're going to buy a .22 pistol, let form follow function, not the other way around. You'll be happier in the end.

MK, Buckmark or old Colt Targetsman FTW

If you look at my other thread (SR22 vs. P22) you'll understand why I won't spend the money on any MK series pistol and if you don't feel like going back to that one I'll explain it one more time. I don't have the best eyes in the world, I've shot the MK II and MK III and the Colt Woodsman but I'm horribly inaccurate with them because I can't work with the sights..I'm not sure if this is because I'm used to the 3 dot configuration of "tacticool" guns like my Taurus Millinium Pro .45 and Glock 19 both of which I've put 3000+ rounds through or what but even after putting 2000 rounds through both the 2 MK series pistols and the Woodsman I was barely getting any kind of grouping.

Anyways I got a chance to get my hands on both the GSG and M&P yesterday thanks to a family friend and I think my final choice might have to be the GSG 1911-22. Not to happy about the $35 magazine price but eh not that big of a deal few oddjobs can cover that easily.

Have not shot either of the other two options you have listed but I do own a SR22 and its a fun little gun to practice and plink with.

Oh crap. Thought we were discussing the SR-22 rifle. Tells you how much I know about the other models! Disregard my opinions in post #2.
