Concur with the recommendation above. I also have the Kimber 22 / 1911, and have put together two additional 1911/.45acp/.22 caliber conversions. Often the .45acp 1911 .22cal conversions are ammunition dependant to the higher performance rounds, increased cost, and do not allow for functional thumbs high hand positions on the frame.

Although there are some good 1911 conversions out there, many are not and can be waste of money, while the dedicated .22 cal pistols such as the Ruger are always spot on.

I have an 8 year old girl who will start IPSC competitions next year and plan to use the Glock-17 .22cal conversion or the Ruger option mentioned above.
