Ciener .22 conversion/ 1911 .45

Just got my hands on this little addition.

First impressions are that it seems to fit nicely to the frame. Mags fit and locked into place with no trouble. I’m gonna go shoot it tomorrow and smile all the way back to the house thinking about how I just saved $80 in ammo by shooting with .22 while still being able to practice with my current ccw holster, trigger and frame of my actual CCW. Assuming this works as advertised, it will become a permanent addition to my training sessions.

The Ciener Conversion kits are great.

I have several for my M-4s. You can shoot into .22LR bullet traps.

The company itself has a bunch of jerks working there and is very hard to deal with. It is a shame.

Ciener is probably the bottom of the barrel for rimfire conversions. Advantage Arms makes a good one for Glocks, and for any 1911-style pistol, Marvel Precision is where you want to send your money: http://www.marvelprecision.com/

As I recall Kimber makes a good conversion kit as well.

I have one too! (*Kart) Mine is pretty old, I bought it in the 70's. I haven't used it all that much, but I thought it was better then the Colt .22 conversion kit.

*Correction: Actually my conversion kit is the Kart kit w/target sights. Reading TR's post jarred my memory. I haven't even looked at the kit for a long time!

What problems have you had with yours?
