This is my SR1911 10mm with Advantage Arms .22 converson kit installed. Installation was a snap with the slide stop requiring just a bit of finesse.
True to AA instructions this kit is ammo sensitive, in my case preferring CCI round nose Mini Mags. None of my standard velocity or target ammo would cycle the Ruger's action. That could change over time with break-in but I'm happy with the Mini-Mags. AA recommends Remington Golden Bullets along with the Mini-Mags.This kit has a last shot hold open feature which is one of several features I was looking for, not to mention a reasonable price. The sights are adjustable, solid black, and plenty adequate for range work. The slide is hi-grade aluminum with a quality matt finish applied. Internals are steel (no mystery metals in this kit). I'm impressed with the quality.
I shot over a hundred rounds of the CCI on this outing, mostly trouble free.....keep your thumb off of the slide!! The poly mag is a snug fit in my pistol and does not drop free. That doesn't bother me as a range plinker (my intended purpose). Accuracy wise the AA kit has a lot of potential but initially I was only shooting for function.
My purpose for making this conversion was to give me more range time with my 1911, and that it does. Shooting 100 rounds of full house 10mm is both expensive and painfull! So far, so good.......
