Any recommendations on a 22 to start getting used to the platform? I have a DW CCO and want a cheaper training tool for the moment.

Buy a 22 conversion kit. That way you get used to the feel and trigger of your DW while plinking with 22.

The Browning 1911-22 is a sweet little pistol.

I have a SiG 1911-22. It has the same weight as a centerfire 1911, many parts interchange, such as mainspring housings, safety levers, etc. The barrel is threaded for fitting a silencer, too.

Johnathon Ciener makes an excellent kit, IMHO.

The gold standard in this area is the marvel conversion. But I have also had good luck (with enough rounds to have an experience based opinion) with the Kimber kit and the Advantage arms kit. I would expect based on other products that the Tacsol kit will also be good.
The ciener kit I personally would avoid as support is practically nonexistent.

The gold standard in this area is the marvel conversion. Yep, it fits all of my .45 caliber 1911's (Sig, Colt, Ruger & Remington-Rand), and has bullseye competition...<2" at 25 yds with good ammunition. The only draw back is that the slide does not lock back when the last round has been fired. To get that feature, you should look at the Advantage Arms model...BTW, it's equally accurate. Rod

I've had very good experience with Ciener, ordering replacement springs, buffers, extra magazines. ( I have the Hi Power conversion, not 1911, but still.)

I have a Marvel kit on a 1911 and an Advantage Arms kit on G23. Both work well and both have good customer support. The AA kits for the 1911 have gotten great reviews as well, I just don't have one.

Love my Marvel conversion unit.

I actually use it in precision pistol competition.

Fyi, I’m pretty sure the Kimber is a Ciener with Kimber labeling. I’ve had both.

Quite a few options. AA and Marvel look like the best options.

For the price of a conversion kit and the time it takes to swap it back and forth at the range (and one of them being hot), I'd rather just buy a dedicated .22 like the Browning Buckmark.

If you decide to go that route, let me recommend the Nelson conversion. It's a Marvel design. I'm very happy with that kit on my Springfield Range Officer. In addition, they are great folks to deal with, and even did me a custom sight mount at very little additional cost.

Yes, you could get a dedicated .22 pistol for the price of the kit, but not one of comparable quality. (That assumes, of course, that you're putting the kit on a high-quality 1911, which I believe you are.)

Advantage arms are excellent. Very reliable, lock open after last round fired, mags are pretty cheap.

Here's another vote for the Nelson. It includes Marvel's latest enhancements. I shoot one in bullseye.
