.22 conversion kit for for 1911 RIA Tactical ( MDS group buy )

[StanleyG]

Does anybody have any suggestions on a conversion kit ?
Does .22lr round have energy to function in a 1911 properly?

I found this online...

Do you know if it'll work ? is there any special gunsmithing required ?

thank all

Just get a GSG-1911, it's as cheap as any conversion and more reliable

Subscribed for the reply. This would make my new .45 a nice shooter for Fionnros (Mrs Bartman)

The one he posted is a $199 mod.

The best price I can find on a GSG-1911 is $315.

I'm guessing you're saying its worth it.

It definitely is

I have a Ciener conversion for my 1911, got it used on Gunbroker for less than $200 and it has worked fine so far with good quality ammo.
Takes about a minute to install, it's pretty easy and accuracy isn't too bad.

If you are willing to pay more money you can get a Marvel unit 1 conversion. It can be had with adjustable sights, and the accuracy is significantly better because only the slide moves and the barrel is locked stationary..similar to the way a S&W Model 41 operates.

I dunno, I'm the kind of the guy who'd rather have two guns for $300 than one gun that has a doohickey along with it for $200. Assuming the GSG 1911-22 is a fine gun, that's what I'd go with, and I have a friend who is very interested in getting one of those.
