1911 w/.22 conversion good for practice?

[bigun]

I have the Ceiner Platinum cup kit, Its a hoot. With good ammo its as accurate as my old MK1 standard ruger but not even close to the MK2 govt model I sold to get it. It is however reliable and accurate enough for what I use it for, Plinking, informal target shooting and small game hunting.

That is what a decent .22 would cost also but you can spend more on a really accurate .22.

If I was doing it again.......I would get the conversion kit. It allows you to practice with the gun you will be using and the feel and trigger pull will be the same. Just my opinion.

+1 With the converison kit you get to practice for a lot less and you still get the feel of the trigger. When we do it we practice with the .22 and at the end shoot a few .45 to remember the recoil.
