Cheap reliable training, if you feed it right. - Advantage Arms Colt 1911 .22 Long Rifle Caliber Conversion Kit

This is in my opinion, an absolute must-have if you own a 1911 and want to save a ton of money on range practice. It’s a snap to install. (literally just swapping the slide and magazine) and it lets you train with the exact same grip, trigger, and feel of your full-size pistol. However, you absolutely must feed it quality high-velocity ammo. If you try to run bulk stuff, it will go bang, but I did experience increased malfunctions. Maybe it will improve running the cheaper stuff with time. While the aluminum slide doesn’t feel exactly like a heavy steel upper, the quality and cost savings make this kit a phenomenal purchase.
