Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

The Advantage Arms Commander 1911 .22 LR Conversion Kit lets you keep running your favorite Commander-size 1911 while trading pricey centerfire ammo for cheap, low-recoil rimfire. You get the same frame, the same trigger feel, and the same handling you already trust, just without the cost and thump of .45 ACP. For anyone who wants more trigger time or a gentle way to bring a new shooter onto the 1911 platform, this is a genuinely smart pickup.
The slide is machined from anodized T6 aluminum with a matte black finish, and the barrel is heat-treated 4140 steel. The whole assembly drops onto your existing Commander frame in about 30 seconds with a little practice, and no permanent changes are made to your pistol. Pop off your centerfire slide and magazine, slide the Advantage Arms unit on, drop the slide stop pin, snug the guide rod, insert the conversion mag, and you are ready to go. On the Commander model the sights ride on the moving slide, just like your full-size 1911, so the sight picture and manual of arms stay familiar.
Like most rimfire conversions, this one has an appetite for the right ammo. It runs best on 40-grain high-velocity loads, with Remington Golden Bullets being a popular budget choice and CCI 40-grain Mini-Mags (not the hollow points) delivering a touch more consistency. Steer clear of hyper-velocity rounds like Stingers. Rimfire ammo burns dirty, so keep the slide and magazine wiped down and it will reward you with reliable cycling and a slide that locks back on the last shot thanks to the patented steel lock-open insert.
The kit ships with one 10-round magazine, a cleaning kit, a range bag, and instructions, and it carries a one-year factory warranty. Round for round, it pays for itself fast and gives you a low-cost way to drill fundamentals all season long.
This kit is built specifically for Commander-size 1911 frames, so pair it with a Commander-length pistol for the correct fit. It installs without any permanent modifications to your gun. Some frames may need minor fitting or a small guide rod tension adjustment for best cycling, which the manual walks you through.
Advantage Arms recommends 40-grain high-velocity loads for reliable function. Remington Golden Bullets are a common budget pick, and CCI 40-grain Mini-Mags (the round-nose, not hollow points) tend to give better consistency and accuracy. Avoid hyper-velocity rounds like Stingers, and skip standard-velocity ammo since the Commander kit is not set up for it.
Yes. The kit uses a patented heat-treated steel lock-open insert paired with its magazine, so the slide holds open after the final shot. That gives you the same reload cue you get from your centerfire 1911, which is great for training.
Rimfire ammo runs dirty, so expect to clean more often than you would with centerfire. A basic solvent, brush, and a wipe-down of the slide and magazine keeps things cycling smoothly. Paying a little extra attention to the magazine goes a long way toward preventing feeding hiccups.
