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.

Yup, that's about the same results I got with the Colt conversion on my Colt frame. Haven't taken it back out for another session yet since I finally managed to get the floating chamber freed up and everything cleaned properly.

I don't really expect any improvement in accuracy, and it actually functioned quite well with the froze-up chamber, so I probably won't notice much change. But it's an excellent excuse to go burn up some ammo...
