Sidearms & Scatterguns Kimber .22 LR conversion ?

[ColbyLang]

Guys,
Recently purchased a lightly used .22LR conversion kit for my 1911 from a fellow hide member. Took it out today for my first range experience. Had a blast not wasting major money every time I pulled the trigger. Question though....it failed to eject multiple times. Is this something that will wear out as the kit gets a bit of wear on it? FWIW, I was using Federal bulk ammo, 1280 fps according to the box. Thanks for any and all help.

What kind of kit? Definitely need to try some different brands, my AA likes Remington.

It's the Kimber kit, matched up with my Kimber Custom TLE RL II

Nice, probably needs to be broken in more. Hand cycling a bunch will help and CCI MiniMag is highly recommended. Might be worth a try.

Re: Kimber .22 LR conversion ?

it may be that the kit is new and tight. i run about 1000 rounds a month through my kimber 22 conversion of the federal bulk and have not had any noticable issues. i got the kit used and don't know how many rounds it had on it but I am going on 22K through it myself and it is still running strong.
