Cieners 1911 22lr conversion kit

I wouldn't support Ciener if someone paid me to. I've never stopped hearing bad feedback about him/them.

I've got an AA conversion kit for Glock 17/34 and it's an excellent kit. Well worth the price!

AA has not made a .22 Conversation Unit for the 1911 in well over a year they have been focused on the Glock conversations.

Run the Ciener in my Commander, no issues

So all the ones previously sold just disappeared from existence?

Besides the Ciener kit, does anyone know of other conversion kits for a Browning Hi-Power?

Also, the Ciener kit comes with a 13 round mag. Is there a way to get a 10 round mag for use in CA?

Bought this one (for my springfield 1911 a1) and had to return it because the hammer was stoppig the slide from going all the way back. Didn't get to shoot it because of this issue. The slide will come back only when I pulled the hammer back. Did anyone else have this issue or was this just a bad unit that I got?

I've used the Kimber conversion on several different 1911 w/o a problem, and the Kimber is essentially the Ciener iirc.

Oh yes please! Im going back and forth between a Kimber and a Marvel conversion. Im sure there are others here that would love to read your review as well.

Kimber is a plinker. It is less expensive than the other conversions. It is similar in design to a JA Ciener unit. From what I have read, Ciener has absolutely no customer service.

Marvel will be much more accurate. The barrel of the Marvel is rigidly attached to the frame with a threaded rod. It uses a different slide stop as well. Marvel is much more expensive than a Kimber but worth it. The slide does not lock back on an empty mag. Marvel has excellent customer service. After several thousands rounds (close to 10,000), the lug that houses the threads cracked. Marvel sent me a completely new upper, no questions asked.

Advantage Arms uses the same method for fixing the barrel to the frame. Mine is not as accurate as my Marvel, but the slide locks back on an empty mag. The AA has a metal insert machined into the aluminum slide. I waited several months for the AA unit, but I was disappointed in the lack of accuracy.

Tactical Solutions also makes a .22 conversion, but I've never shot one. I saw one at Ammo Bros. Looked like a well made unit.
