Frequently Asked Questions
GSG Firefly Threaded Barrel for sale
Does the GSG FireFly have a threaded barrel?
Yes, the GSG FireFly comes with a threaded 4.9-inch steel barrel using M9x0.75 right-hand threads, compatible with suppressors and other muzzle devices. All three available variants include this configuration.
What is the thread pitch on a GSG FireFly?
The GSG FireFly barrel features M9x0.75 right-hand threads. Aftermarket adapters can convert this to the more common 1/2x28 standard for use with suppressors and muzzle devices designed for that specification.
What is the GSG FireFly a clone of?
GSG's FireFly is a clone of the Sig Sauer Mosquito, a discontinued .22 LR pistol. GSG developed it after collaborating with Sig Sauer on specifications. The FireFly shares nearly identical internals and externals with the Mosquito, including cross-compatibility with Mosquito magazines.
Is a GSG firefly a good gun?
Opinions vary. Users report reliable performance with quality ammo, good accuracy, and ergonomics mirroring the Sig P226. Some cite early reliability issues. At around $235, it's affordable for range use. Performance depends heavily on ammunition selection and the individual firearm.
How much does a gsg firefly cost?
GSG Firefly pistols typically cost around $218–$229 new, with some retailers listing them near $222. Used examples average around $168–$175. All three variants are available across multiple retailers.
What are the common problems with the gsg Firefly?
GSG Firefly owners commonly report failures to feed, extract, and eject, particularly with hollow points and high-velocity ammunition. Standard velocity rounds like CCI MiniMags tend to run more reliably. Some users also note magazine issues and tight chambers that improve after a break-in period.
