I've put the pencil to paper (actually finger to keyboard) and came up with a few numbers. To pay for a new Kimber 1911 22 (~$650) I'll need to shoot 3500 22s instead of 45s. A conversion unit would only need about 1500 rounds.
What kind of life are people getting out of the conversion units?
Do you think a new Kimber 22 or a used 1911 45 and a conversion kit would be the better route? They would be comparable in price. I could always just get the conversion unit but I'm concerned about it loosening up my frame when the 45 slide is on it.
