.22LR conversion kits for 1911 practice
Dusty Boddams:
Talking about conversions, I was looking for one but instead bought a gsg. Good pistol but ammo sensitive. Believe it or not was cheaper than buying a few spare mags for my colt ace!

Imported by American Tactical Imports and a great practice piece. It's listed as needing .22HV but actually shoots the cheap bulk .22 w/ no problem. It's about the same price as a conversion kit but you get a whole new gun ;D

I have several 22 pistols including a GSG 1911. It has about 20,000 rounds through it. I’ve replaced recoil spring twice and firing pin broke around 15,0000 rounds. I tried several of my friends 1911’s that had conversion kits and decided to get the GSG when it came out.
It has been a good reliable accurate pistol that will shoot about any 22 ammo.
I do recommend getting a GSG parts kit if one decides to buy it as it has everything in it if something was to break.

I've got a GSG 1911 and really enjoy it. I installed the "up grade kit" with steel bushing, guide rod, etc.
It does require high speed ammo to ensure reliable operation.
I've heard of some expensive 1911 conversions that are much more problematic.
I may cut in the 1911 'dimple' as the edge of the ejection port is wearing.
