Rumbler... The Legend

[mapper]

Mapper, while I'm thinking about it. File this in the FWIW category . . .

I'm pretty close to certain that at least the Colt (factory) 9mm 1911s have a narrower feed ramp cut at just slightly a different angle. Just enough to make them unreliable without some work, if you convert one down the road to .45ACP.

Obviously this is not an issue using a 9mm frame as a .22LR host . . . . but if you didn't already know about the feed ramp cut being different, I wanted to give you a heads up.

Yeah, yeah I know, 9 mm and 1911 should not be in the same sentence, but hear me out on this one...


I picked up a rock island 1911 a1 in 9 mm, for a couple reasons. I needed a frame for the 22 Conversion.

Mapper, a RIA in .22 is pretty appropriate in my opinion. It is well suited for the cartridge.

I know your thoughts on 9mm in a 1911.. but there was a reason for this.

.....

Besides a 9 mm in a double stack 1911 does not count as a 1911 anyway, so im good.

He is missed...
