So I have a 9mm 1911. I purchased GSG-1911 22lr conversion kit. It does not fit the 9mm frame b/c the ejector is just a hair too tall. Apparently fits 45ACP 1911's perfectly. I had to remove the ejector completely ( having to punch out retaining pin first), in order to fire conversion kit, and it worked perfectly. Conversion kit does need 1911's ejector to kick out empty shells.
Now imagine having to take out and put back ejector every time I want to switch between 22 and 9mm on the range. it is pain in the ...
At this point I regret that I didn't spend $150 extra and bought a dedicated 1911 in 22LR, but it is what it is.
What option do I have here: can I just file ejector down a little bit, so conversion kit's slide can travel freely?
Would it affect ejecting 9mm shells properly ?
if not using a file, should I use a fine sandpaper instead?
Any advice is appreciated .
Thank you !!!
