1911 22LR to 45?

[IUBrink]

Hey guys I've been searching around for a super-cheap 1911 so that I can customize it to the style I would like, but I'm having a hard time finding a cheap 1911 in black that includes a beaver tail.

I want to keep the price around $400, but that in itself is almost impossible. Is there any way to buy a cheap 1911-22 and convert it to a .45ACP?

I think most (all?) of the dedicated .22 1911s are made specially for the .22 round and there's no way (without spending more than you would on a basic .45, anyhow) to do so..

Anybody is welcome to prove me wrong, of course!

I hear Rock Island Armory 1911's are great for the price....

It would seem impractical.

No way. The RIA is probably going to be your best bet.

Never owned or shot the RIA but the reviews are very interesting. Just Google RIA reviews this will help you decide.
