You may want to try CanadianGunNutz.com and post on that forum. Lots of good information there.

You may want to look at the Kimber .22 1911. You can also et a .45 and get the conversion slide. I have handled but noy shot the Kimber .22 and it is a nice gun.

I purchased a kimber 22 conversion kit for my colt 1911 they are well built units the only gripe I have is that it will only shoot federal ammo the other stuff doesn't seem to cycle the action evere time

I'm not a pistol guy, but have been meaning to buy a 1911 @ .45 for about 20 years. One thing I found out last time I was entertaining the thought again is ... they all FEEL ... VERY different. I was very surprised when the guy in the gun shop was letting me handle them. They're all based on the Colt, all look like the Colt, but one felt great and another uncomfortable. The point being ... try some on for size before you do too much research and preconceived choosing. It may turn out the brand/model you like on paper doesn't fit in real life. If I recall correctly, the above mentioned Kimbers felt pretty good to me.

You need to stop waiting and start buying The 1911 style pistol is easy to handle and FUN to shoot the only reason that one would need a conversion kit is if he didn't have an endless supply of money, to make a shooting trip fun it is always nice to have about 500 rds. of ammo per trip. You may be thinking to your self that the 45 is heavy on recoil but conpaired to my KP95 from Ruger and my bros. smith in 9mm I would say that the 45 is more pleasant to shoot. The recoil seems to come straight back where as the 9mm has more of a muzzle flip

The model 41 Smith&Wesson is a fine shooting pistol, but at the higher end price-wise. Another choice would be one of the Sigarms Trailside pistols. They are reasonably priced and accurate.
