Read through the link you posted, and you'll see that the author was corrected, and that the cartridge is, indeed, derived from a .223 case.
Still not convinced? Here are a couple of pictures my wife took from the 2011 SHOT show, of the prototype (the same one used as a demonstrator the day before):
The twin caliber kit reportedly comes with two extractors, due to the different case rims.
Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.

Uncle, I stand corrected. I quite reading when it said 9mm brass, even at .223 I am not interested. Besides if you saw my other post I have already picked up the GSG.

Don't believe everything you read. Our people were there when it was introduced. From our report on the 2011 SHOT Show:Originally Posted by Kentucky Blood
http://ezine.m1911.org/showthread.php?t=70The cartridge is produced using a .223 Rem. case, which has the same rim diameter as the 9mm Para one. RIA is planning to offer the pistol together with a 9mm barrel, so customers can use either round in their pistols.
Right near the top, from the Range day report.

I got a Sig 1911-22, same as GSG, for Christmas and have only had two problems with it:
1. Slide stop notch peening
2. I can't stop tinkering with it, which seems to have infected me with the need to build my own 1911 next.
I have tweaked to eliminate the slide peening problem, but I haven't quite gotten it perfect. I have close to 1000 rounds through mine and that has been the only problem. It isn't quite as accurate as my S&W 422, but I will scare silhouette rams at 75 yards.
I picked up a GSG/1911 22 about 2 weeks ago. I had some hesitation after reading all the reviews, both good and bad.
I could not be happier with the gun. I have over 600 rounds through and it runs perfect. I have been shooting Federal 550 bulk plated ammo.
The only thing I am going to change on the gun is the MSH to steel and heading out to my shop to make a full length guide rod.
I am thinking of buying one of these from a local shop. I see references to upgraded parts. What should I be looking for? Or are they inexpensive enough to buy so it really does not matter?

The only thing I use plastic for is to pay for my metal 1911's.
The one thing they change was the spring. The new ones are not tapered.Originally Posted by Kimber_Rox
Seems most change the guide rod to a full length. Cost is about $20.
Never had a problem with mine. Great gun and fun to shoot. Fell free to PM me for more info.
Got mine last month - hate that CA refuses to let us have threaded barrels.
Ran a couple hundred rounds through with zero issues. I changed out the guide rod before I ever shot it.
Overall a great plinker. accuracy was not bad. Don't like the trigger. May spring for a trigger job to make it a bit smoother....

What size (weight/lbs) is the mainspring in the GSG/Sig Sauer 1911 22LR?
