Kimber .22 Conversion Kit

[soup101]

Anyone using one of these on their Kimber or other 1911?

If so how are they? Are they picky about ammo? Is it worth 300 bills or would it be better to just get a dedicated .22 handgun since it really isn't that much more $$$ for dedicated?

I'm really in the market for a .22 handgun. These are the options I have been thinking.

1) Kimber Conv. Kit
Adv. - Get more used to the feel of my Kimber w/o having to spend a ton on .45 ammo, cheapest option
Dis. - Unable to put optics on my model, not sure I want to put the wear and tear on my Kimber since I think I would be using it alot

2) Ruger or Browning
Adv. - Dedicated .22, can put optics on them, fairly cheap guns
Dis. - Can't think of any

3) Sig P226 Two Step
Adv. - Its a Sig , can buy conv kit
Dis. - expensive base model

seems like you are leaning toward option#2
I was looking at a Sig two step, but i have a 226 in 40 so the conversion kit would be the ticket for me
