Loving every shot put down range with my Kimber I started looking at the .22 conversion kits to shoot more for less. I was having a hard time paying $350 for a conversion kit when there are other designated 1911's in .22 for the same money. I decided to buy a GSG 1911-22 and couldn't be happier.
Not being one to leave things "as-is", I had to make a few mods to it.
-Ed Brown trigger
-Kimber tactical rubber grips (off my TLE/RL II)
I also polished all of the internals, gave it a fresh coat of DuraCoat (to cover up all of the "read owners manual" notices on the frame and used Flitz polishing compound on the slide rails until it cycles perfectly smooth!
I have a little more in it than when I started - maybe $100, but considering I paid $325 for it - I would still rather have a completely seperate pistol than have almost the same $$ in a conversion kit.
Pics don't do it justice - but tell me what you think. Obviously, it is the one on top:
