Tactical Solutions 2211 Conversion

A couple of years ago, a 50-round box of .45 ACP practice-grade ammo cost about $12. Now it’s twice that, if it can be found, which means you could save about $20 a box if you could shoot .22s instead of .45s in your 1911. To do that, you’ll need a reliable conversion kit like the one suggested to me by the folks atBrownells.

Tactical Solutions’ 2211 kit listed in the Brownells catalog consists of a slide and barrel assembly that mates with the standard 1911 frame. That’s part of the appeal. The kit is cheaper than a second gun, and you get to practice with the trigger, grip and controls of your main .45. Incidentally, the company also makes kits for Commander-size 1911s as well as wide-body STI .45s.
