A fun shooter - Colt 1911 with Kimber 22 kit

That should be one fun shooter. It MAY require the MiniMag category of ammo to be happy(HV).....I own a couple of .22cal handguns that prefer MiniMag ammo.

Could be... and maybe together with a slightly stronger recoil spring. Still need to clean it, so we'll see how it works after a good lube job.

Shooting 22s is fun. I was just out with my favorite 22lr, my first gun a Remington Nylon 66 that my dad bought me in 1965. I just got a new scope for it and was dialing it in at the range. It shoots about any ammo, but CCI mini-mags are the best. I had a great day.

I am a fan of Kimbers, but never had a chance to shoot one of those 22lr conversion jobs. Looks like a nice gun.
