Kimber 22 Conversion For the 1911 Pistol
Thursday I picked up a 22 conversion Kit for the 1911 style pistaols. I have thought about these for quite sometime now and when I saw it I emediately asked "how much is it going to take for me to get out of here with the converison". The owner offered me a good deal and I took it.




I installed the system on my Springfield 45 frame




After a bit of informal shooting I set up a target at 35 yards. The picture was taken with the 12 power optical zoom on my camera




After a couple of loaded magzines fired at the target, it looked like this



All in all I am very pleased with the setup.

And how much muzzle energy did you lose in the process?? JUST KIDDING!! Don't crucify me! jumping

That's cool! Can I ask if the conversion is reasonably priced?
