can it be converted to a

[telluwhat]

OK I am sure you know. I want to know of a 40 cal magnum that can be converted to a 22 and back as needed? I eventually would like a 1911 that can also be converted to a 22. It doesn't have to be a desert eagle but I can dream right? If not can you tell me of something that could? I would like to have a hand gun with stopping power that I can quickly convert to a 22 for cheep target practice.

It's an easy answer, but it ain't cheap.

1. Only option I know of is a 1911

2. Get it chambered in 10mm, .400 Corbon, 45 Super, or .460 Rowland (although I think .45 ACP is plenty)

3. Find a suitable conversion kit.

Total, about $2k-$3k out of pocket

Advantage arms makes them for 1911 and Glock pistols, very good reviews

Does that mean any 1911 or Glock can be converted? I don't know much about these things. (Obviously LOL). Thanks for the help.

Once I find the right handgun I can save fr it and then for the rest. This is a long term plan for sure.

Not sure about all 1911s but definitely all Glock. 300 bucks for the kit I believe. I'd link it to you but I'm using my phone.  I know glockmeister.com stocks them.

OK thanks. Some 1911 and all Glock. I have wanted both of them for some time. I have a Rugrer P85 so I am not sure if i want another 9mm but once I see it in my hand who knows.

Action Arms .41AE ... Goes from a 9mm to .41AE with just barrel and a mag change.

EAA 's Witness series also does changes with just a barrel and mag. This is a high quality gun line. (Bias opinion) ;D

Glock 21 to .460 Rowland with a kit but its more extensive than just a barrel and mag change.

Or you could buy the Ruger 1911-22 and a 1911 in 45acp and have two guns !

Two guns sound like 2x as fun. Seeing many 22 pistols under $300 in a 1911 format.
