Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

.22 caliber conversion kit for my RIA tactical

is there a .22 caliber conversion kit I can get that will fit my RIA tactical? I've been looking at the Kimber one and it says it fits most full size 1911 pistols with original browning design ( my RIA fits this bill ) but I just wanted to make sure before I dish out 3 bills and order one.

Also there's the Advantage Arms .22 conversion kit, how are these and will it fit on my RIA?

I just bought the Kimber unit for my Tactical. The slide to frame fit was VERY tight and I had to slighty enlarge the notch in the slide before the safety would engage. I worked the slide dry a few times then worked it quite a few times with Flitz for a lube. It now runs flawlessly and is very accurate.

The Kimber will work just fine. But if you want accuracy and want the slide to lockback after the last round, the Advantage Arms is a better choice. Strictly for accuracy, the Marvel is best...but a bit more expensive.

The Advantage Arms is working fine on my Armscor, same as the RIA. See the threads below with Advantage Arms in the subject.
