St. George,
Brownell's only carries the Ciener conversion unit at this time. I sent an email off asking if they plan on offering the Marvel or Advantage Arms units.
We signed the papers at the realtor's last night, hopefully we will get the closing done by February 1.
Standpat Steve,
That's a solid vote for Advantage Arms. I'm kind of leaning that way for several reasons, one is price, another is the last round hold open feature.
Thanks for your contributions.
Anyone else have experience with the conversion units?
Sincerely,
Prof. A. Wickwire
EDIT: I went to the 1911forum.com site and ran a search for 22 conversions. Based on the comments made, Ciener is out of the running. Apparently, most of them work well, but if you need customer service from Ciener, forget it! According to several posters, J. A. Ciener is extremely rude and short tempered. I see no reason to deal with a person like that. Life is too short.
So, now the contest is between the Marvel Unit 2 and the Advantage Arms Standard Model.
Sincerely,
