Will a Coversion kit for a colt 1911 work with a spring field armory 1911?

I have a Ceiner .22 kit for a M1911. I built the frame as a learning project. Got the Conversion before Brownell's quit selling them, along with two extra mags. Runs well and worth the learning experience.

ciener 22 conv. for hipowers do not work.
very poor fit and finish.
my friends with 1911s,
bought ciener 22 conv. and have similar problems.
all different kinds of
ammo were used.

I have a colt 22 conv kit but lost the bushing. Anyone know of a place I can purchase the part seprately? Calls to Colt have been unsuccessful. Hate to have to buy a complete new kit b/c I'm missing one small part.

I have 2 Jonathan Ciener 22 conv. kits, One for my Springfield Armory 1911A1 with adjustable sights and another for my Taurus PT-99 with fixed sights. My Platinum Cup conversion kit has a Millet adjustable rear sight and comes with a 15 round metal magazine. I used this unit on my 1911 for a defensive pistol class with 4 additional magazines and everyone else was wishing they had this too. Accurate shooting, costs is way less than shooting .45 ACP. My cost for 500 .22lr rounds was around $20.00, their cost for 500 .45ACP rounds was $200.00! I love them!

I have a Ace conversion that works like a charm in my brazilian contract .45.

I really don't see the need to drop 350.00 on a conversion when I only paid that for a GSG 1911 22 that shoots as well or better and eats what I feed it with no problems

I also agree with Pete. I have an RIA .45 ACP and a GSG 1911-22. The GSG has about 30 or so interchangeable parts with any .45 ACP. Maybe it's because I am not an Olympic match shooter like some folks here, but I love shooting both. They have similar weight and balance and their triggers right out of the box were pretty da*n good. If you like conversion kits fine, but for me I like having an extra gun to play with.

I have a Ruger SR1911 and bought a Tactical Solutions conversion. May cost a lil more but this is the best I have owned. I've had Kimber and Ceiner and they don't hold a candle to this one. Only conversion I know that the last shot the slide stays open.

A very misleading article. Typical of gun magazines who slant their articles to favor big advertisers. Marval accuracy beats Olympic pistols at 50 yards. Head shots on Squirrels size groups. My Marvel groups.496 @ 50yds. 1" w/Remington Golden Bullet HP. They make a cheaper (not much) model and this was used in this article. It eats anything I feed it. No conversion can come anywhere close in accuracy.

I have owned a Colt conversion for more than thirty years. Less accurate, harder to clean, but I've been saving money for decades. I will continue to use it. I do have a conversion kit for my Glock 27 that provides the same savings and the same fun.

Instead I would recommend a .22/1911 such as the GSG- 1911. Why mess around with a real 1911/1911A1 that performs the way you like it. The price is virtually the same.

I have an Advantage Arms .22 Cal conversion for my 1911 that I like very much. Check the Advantage Arms website.

While I currently don't have any of the products mentioned, I love the 22 caliber conversion kit for the high power, and I'm looking forward to a .22 conversion kit for the Keltec P 11. A great way to shoot your favorite guns and save a bunch of cash!
