Ciener Conversions?
Hello,
has anybody tried the Ciener conversion for the Browning Hi-Power? I'd like to get one, but want to know if there are jamming problems, etc.
I tried to do a search online and heard someone mention "horror stories" about the HP version so I don't want to get a $200 lemon...

Thanks in advance,
Mark.

I'ts always gnawed at me to get one for my 1911,,but could pick up a ruger with the same grip angle for the same money with out monkeying around swapping stuff,,Then umarex came out with thier clones of pistols,,They did a good job on the 1911,,And I don't have to go to the range to shoot it! prop up a piece of plywood and shoot away! It's not going to be something to hunt with,,But a nice 10 yd practice plinker.About 50 rounds on a co2 cartridge,,A couple extra "clips" and you can shoot fast enough to wig your eyes out. On the first clip you could go 20,,After that do short range stuff,,Clay
