Hi guys... dumb, stooopid question I have here. But I've been known to ask them before.
I don't get the "conversion thing." As I looked at the prices (NH was 450, Marvel was about $480, etc... I wondered...
Why would you purchase a 400-500 dollar conversion when you could purchase the Sig 22, The Colt 22 or the GSG 22. They are complete 1911 style handguns, chambered in 22, with the look, weight and feel of a 1911 for training. GSG says they have 80% parts interchangability with the 1911. Which parts? don't know...
Don't quote me, but I think Umarex makes Colt's product, and GSG makes Sig's product. An example is that the GSG is selling for $316 today on one of the websites.
For me to make the leap to a conversion unit over a complete gun, the company would have to come in considerably lower than a $316 price point, OR be providing such high quality and accuracy that I just had to have it. I don't know what was paid for the original AA conversion from our OP.
Your thoughts are appreciated!
