DefaultSell Chiappa 1911 and get GSG??

Greetings all, newbie here!

I have the Chiappa 1911 and I honestly have no beefs with it. THEN the GSG comes out, so should I off the Chiappa and pick up the GSG?
I know i'm going to take a hit on the Chiappa value, but if the GSG IS that much better....???

Thanks all

Howdy! I have never had the pleasure of owning or shooting a Chiappa 1911, but I do have some experience with a GSG 1911, and it is one very nice handling, shooting and solid functioning .22lr pistol, IMHO. YMMV

Both have had issues, so if you've got a good one of either, STICK WITH IT!!

I also make it a habit to never sell a properly-functioning firearm unless the cash offer is too good to pass up.

The GSG is light years above the Chiappa.

German vs Italian manufacturing. Nuff said!
