I have a Kimber TLE/RL II and a Dan Wesson PT-CBOB. Winchester White Box 45ACP is $20/100 from Wally World. I can literally shoot every day at the range. As you can tell...shooting 45ACP is getting expensive for me. So which one do I go with? Kimber - $252.95 from Midway USA /10 Round Mags are $23.45 Marvel Match - $346.59 from Midway USA/10 Round Mags are $39.61 Marvel Practical - $269.99 from Midway USA/10 Round Mags are $39.61 Wilson Combat - $308.99 from Midway USA/10 Round Mags are $39.95 Ciener Kit - $199 direct from Ciener/15 Round Mags are $35 |

I had no idea that the Ciener had 15 rd mags. That makes it tempting. However, for training purposes, get the Kimber with 3 mags. My Wilson upper works great with the full size Kimber, but will not fit on my Compact "Ultra Shadow LE II" BTW- does anybody know who makes the Kimber and the Wilson uppers? My Wilson looks similar to the Kimber pictured. |

I had a Ceiner and didn't like it. The ammo I had to use to make it cycle correctly cost me as much as it would to just reload my 45ACP. My recommendation is to buy a Ruger, Browning, or S&W 22 pistol. What is the purpose of use? I personally do not thing you can gain anything by using a conversion on a 1911 versus a reliable pistol that was built for it by design. Part of training for self defense is training with the ammo you will use when you defend yourself. If you don't do that much, you might as well be training with a revolver instead. It would do you as much good. |
Already have a Ruger 22/45
Main purpose would be primarily for very high volume shooting, like I said I can literally shoot every day and the cost of 45ACP ammo(even reloading my own) would cost more than .22LR. You can still practice shooting from the draw using the same holster you would noramlly use also malfunction drills should still be the same. |
Definitely sarcastic. If his 1911 kits are anything like his Glock kits, they suck hairy goat balls. My Glock kit never emptied a 10rd mag in its life without jamming. My Ceiner AR15 kit is much better, but I would guess that the 1911 is more like the Glock kit. Also, as said, if you have trouble with it, you're SOL. |
