Will a standard Colt 1911 .45 ACP plunger and guide rod work in the .22 conversion kit?

Thanks,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Bill

A 1911 .22 Conversion kit is a complete top end. Slide, barrel, recoil spring and guide. It changes the gun to a straight blowback system like most other .22 semi-autos. 

Years ago I got a great deal on a Ciener Platinum cup unit. I liked it so much that I built up a frame to mount it on permanently.  Its one of my favorite 1911s.  :up: 

BTW: a few months ago I picked up a barely used .22 conversion for my Sig P226. I'm having a lot of fun with it.  ;)

I’ve used the Colt conversion kit (think Colt Ace) and a Kimber version unit both on dedicated Colt and Kimber frames respectively.  I didn’t like either.  I would love to try a Ceiner. 

Colt had to be meticulously cleaned every 50rnds or so as carbon built upon in the action because of the design. The Kimber - too light and jams frequently unless using CCI MIni mags.  

I’ve kinda lost interest in the Kimber because it is so dang light.
