I actually think the conversion is better in the sense that you have an all steel frame. Most dedicated 1911 22s have alloy frames. It's more than sufficient, but I love the all steel feel. And yes like you said it is the exact same trigger as when you shoot 45ACP.

Yeah this is true. You have to define cleaning. Honestly sometimes all I do is field strip, take a paper towel with some cleaner and wipe down the rails and feed ramp. Boresnake a couple times. Couple drops of oil and put it back together. Takes 5 minutes.

Oh yeah actually I remember this recently came out. I guess I was thinking of one that looks like the 2"/3" model. Thanks for the link.

I really like this gun, looks sweet. Do they make a the SP101 in 22lr still or is it out of production? I've never seen one ever.

I have a Kimber conversion for my TLE RL II and I agree it's awesome. Very accurate and it actually does break in a bit and becomes a little more reliable. At first Remington hollow points were not working well at all, but after a few bricks of the good stuff I fired 200 rounds last night of the Remington and had about 4-5 malfuctions so it's gotten a lot better.

I usually give mine a cleaning after a match or a range session. Maybe I'll go two matches/range sessions. I don't mind cleaning them and I like the satisfaction of having a clean firearm. What about you guys?

Yeah with friends it's fun to bring a lot. I'm thinking next time though if I fly solo I'm just gonna focus one one or two.

I went to Shoreshot last night and wanted to try out my reloads. Brought my G26, 92G, and P228 just to make sure they run across the board. They ran flawlessly so that was great news. However, I noticed something. In the beginning my groups were pretty good. Then as I switched back and forth with each pistol my groups go progressively worse. Especially with the Sig P228. I didn't realize how light of a trigger that gun had until I shot it back to back with my other pistols. I let off several rounds pre-maturely. That got me thinking. Maybe it's better I stick with just a couple pistols when I go to the range. Or maybe even just one pistol if I'm really trying to get accustomed to it. Still in the end it was a lot of fun. Just seeing how many you guys bring at any one time and if you experienced something similar.

If you don't mind used you can get them for around $400. I just got a 92G. I haven't shot it much, maybe 150 rounds, but I can't see how that thing can jam. It ate my 9mm wad cutters which were actually very short. My Sig 228 could not get through a mag without jamming a couple times. The 92 chewed them up and spat them out. There's also a used Glock 17 Gen 4 on sale in the marketplace for around the same price.

I'm not too anal at all. If it goes bang and not boom and has reliability and good accuracy I'm happy. I load handgun only right now. Once I find a load that works I don't tinker around too much. I just crank out as many as I can till I run out of bullets.

Is there any particular sign that your media needs to be replaced? I noticed after some time (pretty long, almost a year, 1000s of casings) that black stuff was on my casings after being tumbled. I wasn't sure if that was worn down media or what. I poured in some fresh media and mixed it in what was already there. Seems to bring the brass to a good shine again. Just wondering if there is a casings count, time limit, on when it should be replaced and signs to look out for when it is worn.

I felt a trigger on an M9 today (Speical edition model with the green grips if that matters). It felt a little lighter/smoother than my 92G. Just wondering if they have different triggers/springs. Police models sometimes have heavier springs. Double actions were similar, single action M9 was better.

Man, now I want one. I was bout to say I have no interest in 380, but in 9mm it would be real sweet.

Yeah I've heard some factory stuff doesn't make the cut. They never chrono though at just regular matches and I'd probably use it for steel anyways. Good call though.

I touch them. But that's as far as it goes I just touch them. I felt an 8lb Glock trigger once and I actually kind of liked it. 12lbs is overboard. A heavier pull might work for a Glock since the travel is so short, but on a longer trigger pull it's very excessive.

Depends on the audience. I'll talk about it with those whom I feel would express an interest or have an understanding. Some people I know are genuinely turned off/scared of guns. I don't want to bring it up around the likes of them because I don't feel I need to defend myself or be looked at weird because of something I partake in. Sometimes though around those who are on the fence I do like to talk about it because sometimes after they hear about it through someone they know they gain a new perspective on it. Some of them want to go the range with me now.

I bought three boxes of the 124gr stuff. I didn't know it was aluminum cased till I opened it. Can't shoot it at my range. Will have to use it for a competition or something.

Yep, police trade in. I wonder what the round count is. Breech face doesn't look all that bad. It is kinda nice to have a gun you really don't care about getting scratched.

Very thorough review. I wanted this a while back but couldn't really find a use outside of just being a range gun. If I could CCW this would probably be it.

Picked this up not too long ago. The G model is just a decocker and no safety (read: Sig) which is what I'm used to. This was a police trade in so it came with a little wear, but functionally I'm pretty impressed. I had some SWC that just were not working in my Sig very well. This ate them all up without hesitation. Unfortunately I haven't been reloading for a while so I ran out of 9mm, but very eager to shoot it more. Only upgrade I really want to do is get a 92D spring to lighten the double action. If I like it enough I might get it refinished in something nice. Any other upgrades/mods you guys suggest?

The only thing with this gun is that you can get a Ruger LCR that is comparable weight and that has 5 shots. Or you could get something slightly bigger/heavier like a Kahr PM/CM9 which holds 7 rounds. In looking at real life video of the gun it is not really all that small considering it's very limited capacity. Nonetheless it's a very cool design and I'm sure has it's uses.

I like the Gen 4 look and feel better. The bigger mag release is really nice. Despite the issues ppl have faced I'd still go with a Gen 4. That's just me.

That was fun! Why am I still up? I got some footage of Mike DiGennaro (a GM) who said I could use the footage. I'm gonna do a vid themed Shmo VS Pro where it's my footage vs his footage side by side so people can see just how much faster a GM shoots compared to an average shooter. Should be interesting, and kind of embarrassing, but in a good way.

Alright cool. I guess I've only shot 12 rounders only somehow. I'll bring a few boxes to be on the safe side.

I assume the round count is 48? From what I know classifiers are usually 12 rounds virginia count. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
