I have been looking to buy a .22 conversion for my 1911. I researched it for a week or so and came up with the Advantage Arms kit. So I started looking for one in stock and no one had one. I did find a Commander version of the kit so I bought that. This kit has all the features I wanted. It has last round hold open adjustable sights and cheaper mags. Some other kits have mags upward to $80.

 

I got the kit today and went right to the range. The kit comes with a piece of paper recommending what ammo to use and not to use. They say no to any Federal ammo and for cheap ammo they say to use Remington Golden bullets. I used wolf match target, CCI mini mags and standard velocity, Aguila SuperExtra. I had one FTF with the wolf ammo the other ammo went off without a problem. I shot 400 or so rounds with one issue that's not bad.

 

I was a little worried about the commander kit but it worked on my STI Spartan 9mm without fail. I had it on the lower and ready to go in 3 minutes. The AA kit is one of the lesser expensive ones but it worked fine and am very happy with it. I just heard that the mags for the GSG and the Sig .22 1911 will work in this kit. So that solves a problem with not liking the plastic mags that come with the kit. The issue is the GSG mags are $40

They must have gone up in Price, I got mine for 29 bucks a piece last year.. I'd shop around a little more before you plunk down that kind of coin.

The problem is I wanted to shoot it tomorrow at OBRAMS and the only one who has them in stock is SS and they are $49. I guess I will be shooting my S&W 617 tomorrow. I had ordered 3 mags from AA but I just called them and they didn't ship yet. I told them I need them by today, so I cancelled the order. I found the GSG mags online for $30.

Did you make it out to the OBRAMS Match yesterday???

No I didn't had some kid issues. I was already to leave and the phone call came!! I will hopefully make it next month.

I have the AA kit for 4 years now it has been good i have about 6000 rounds through it..
