BLG 22LR Conversion Kit for 1911 Pistols - 10 Round Capacity

The BLG 22LR conversion kit for 1911 pistols transforms your full-size .45 ACP 1911 into a dedicated rimfire trainer without permanent modification. Whether you're working on fundamentals, teaching new shooters, or just plinking affordably, this drop-in conversion kit lets you run your favorite 1911 platform at a fraction of centerfire cost per round. It's practical gear for anyone who already owns a 1911 and wants to extend its versatility.

Installation is straightforward—the kit slides onto your existing full-size 1911 frame (Government, Gold Cup, or Combat Commander dimensions), and it's engineered to work with both 70-series and 80-series 1911 actions. You get everything needed to swap between your standard .45 setup and 22LR shooting: a complete slide and barrel assembly, one 10-round magazine, and printed instructions to guide you through the changeover. Store it all in the included plastic case between sessions.

This is the kind of accessory that pays for itself quickly if you shoot regularly. Rimfire ammunition is cheap and plentiful, recoil is mild, and your 1911's ergonomics and controls remain exactly familiar. Perfect for maintaining trigger control and sight picture when centerfire budgets get tight, or for bringing a shooter up to speed without the snap and cost of full-power rounds.

Note: This kit fits full-size 1911 frames only. Officer's or Titanium-framed 1911s will not accept this conversion.
