Adv Arms Conversion Kit for 1911 to .22LR with Bag – Enhance Your Shooting Experience

The Advantage Arms conversion kit for 1911 to .22 LR transforms your full-size 1911 into an economical, low-recoil training and practice platform without replacing your primary handgun. This is a smart move if you want to run thousands of rounds downrange affordably while maintaining muscle memory and sight picture with your trusted 1911 platform. The conversion kit pairs the proven 1911 ergonomics and controls you already know with the gentle shooting experience and minimal ammo cost of .22 Long Rifle.

What sets this kit apart is its design philosophy: the barrel is fixed directly to the frame, with sights mounted to the barrel itself. That solid mounting means your point of aim stays consistent with the barrel—not affected by slide movement during cycling. The result is accuracy you can rely on for serious practice and small-game hunting, not just plinking. Setup takes 30 seconds, so you'll spend your time at the range, not fiddling with the gun. The kit ships with a soft carrying bag, so you can take it wherever your training or hunting takes you.

Adjustable sights let you zero for your specific load and distance, and the last-round lock-open feature tells you when the magazine is empty. Whether you're a competitive shooter building fundamentals, a hunter working on precision, or anyone wanting to shoot more for less, this conversion kit bridges the gap between centerfire practice and pure enjoyment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this conversion kit work with my full-size 1911?

Yes. The Advantage Arms conversion kit is designed for standard 1911 models. Confirm your 1911 is a full-size, not a compact variant, before ordering.

How does the fixed barrel design improve accuracy compared to other conversion kits?

By fixing the barrel directly to the frame and mounting the sights to the barrel itself, this kit eliminates the point-of-aim shift that can occur when the slide cycles independently. Your sights move with your barrel, not separate from it, so your zero stays true shot to shot.

Can I switch between my 1911 centerfire slide and this .22 conversion quickly?

Installation takes about 30 seconds, so swapping back to your full-power slide is fast and tool-free. You can also leave the conversion on and switch back just as quickly.

What's included in the kit?

The kit includes the conversion assembly and a soft carrying bag for transport and storage.
