Some mags have a 1 on the side and some have a 2. New issue maybe? Does it mean anything?

I only know this from youtube stuff.... apparently there is a Gen 1 and Gen2 version of the gun.. the Gen 1's had lots of problems with the recoil spring jamming (that was fixed by removing the "taperish" of the spring.. also the Gen 2 fixed the bushing breaking problem, the orig bushings were not steel, now they are..

 

the first productions of the "Gen 2" had a 2 on the slide and the magazine. I bought mine in March and saw the 1 on the magazine and specifically told the shop i want a Gen 2. while i was right there they called ATI and they were told i indeed have in my hand a Gen 2. So my magazine says "1" but my slide says a 2 and my bushing is steel. And my spring is not tapered.. so ergo..i have a Gen 2.

Can you tell me where on the slide it would have a '2'? I just bought a used GSG that the guy said is a few months old, want to check if it's a gen 1 or gen 2.

after you take the barrel out flip the slide over and look "underneath" i don't remember the exact spot but its there.. if i get a moment in the next day or two i will take mine down and tell you specifically. here is a better test though.. take off the barrel BUSHING and hold a magnet to it.. if the magnet sticks to the bushing you absolutely have a Gen2..

Thanks, I will check it out.
