To Expensive
I have seen the Puma model here in Ohio for $229. Of course that won't
help you where you live.
I have the Chiappa 22LR pistol.
You must use high velocity ammo, keep it clean, and NEVER dry fire it.
There is a 300 round break in period, which is a pain. After you get
through that, mine has been very reliable and accurate for what it is.
The GSG is a much better pistol, but like you said, expensive.

Bud's has them for $199 with free shipping.

The one I shot had a horrible trigger and terrible sights. My friend who bought it sold it after that range session, he didn't like it either. I personally would save up a little more money and get a GSG. Have heard really good things about them....

The GSG is generally regarded as a MUCH better .22LR 1911 platform that the Chiappa...and worth the extra cost.
That said, I've never fired either of them; just have read glowing reviews of the GSG...and a smattering of "meh" about the Chiappa.

Trigger Has Been Improved
Don't know when you shot this pistol, but mine has a great trigger.
Early models had terrible triggers, but newer (I think starting late 2010)
had new triggers. It is what it is, but if you can get one for $199, I would
not hesitate.
