That sounds like a perfectly reasonable approach, for .22LR auto pistols, in general... but most 1911 conversions for the caliber specifically ask for high-velocity ammo.
Having said that, some more recent dedicated 1911 .22s seem to be more forgiving (Umarex/Colt, GSG/Sig), so it never hurts to explore...
Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.
