asmurff Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 Armscor is coming out with a 1911 .22 late this year, however even thought the lower will be all 1911 the upper is going to be open like the Beretta 92 or M9
imschur Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 That looks nice. Is there a link with more info?
asmurff Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Posted March 13, 2010 That looks nice. Is there a link with more info?I haven't found one, one of the moderators over at 1911.org posted that picture and said the price hasn't been set yet. After the pistol comes out there is suppose to be a conversion kit also.
Microgunner Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 Since I've had such good luck with my RIA .22TCM I'm thinking of ordering one of these XT22s, except in all parkerized finish.What do y'all think?
Tal Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Gee...That is nice...The more I look at those 22 1911's the more I think I need one...And then I start thinking..."Damn...I really would like a Kimber 1911."....And then I start thinking..."I could buy that Kimber 1911 in 45 ACP, and then buy the 22lr conversion kit for it."...And then....My wife starts saying...If you buy one more firearm, I may do some sort of conversion on you...She thinks my recent purchase of the Bushmaster AR and the Ruger tactical mini, should be enough for this year...Little does she know.... :grin: :grin: :grin:
Microgunner Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Many women just don't understand.
imschur Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 psst Tal http://www.kimberamerica.com/1911/rimfire or really go for the gold of conversion units http://www.nighthawktactical.com/22-conversion-units.html
Tal Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Yep....That Kimber rim fire conversion kit is the one that got me thinking along the lines of getting my dream gun in 45, and then get the kit for 22 lr. Supposedly will fit most Kimbers...Didn't know about the Knight Hawk conversions...Looks really SWEEEEEEET...
imschur Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 The guy behind the NightHawk .22 conversions Bob Marvel sells his own as well. They are the ones to get, the standard. The Nighthawk is a little different design, a 3rd model.The Marvels are based on the original Colt .22 1911 callled the "Ace"I have the Marvel "Unit 2" model private labeled by Wilson Combat. I have a thread here on it.
Microgunner Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 I already own a Kimber Rimfire Target and it's a fine pistol with the exception of it's weight.It's aluminum frame and slide makes it feel freakishly light weight.Shoots good though.I want a knock around all steel 1911-22 and the new RIA seems to fit the bill best.
