For those interested, here is a comparison pic of my Standard Model and AutoMag's Target Model. The difference in these are that his sights are mounted to the stationary barrel assembly, and mine are mounted to the moving slide....his design gives tighter groups according to the AA website.

That's really nice, . I'll be PMing you for some more info on that set up. I'd like to shoot squirrels and coons with my 1911's but not .45

That looks nice. I've also been somewhat considering a 22 lr conversion.

Eagerly awaiting the range report.

like usual....the WalMart closest to me was out of what I came for. No CCI MiniMags and only 1 box of Remington Golden Bullet. Since I only have 100 rounds, I only ran 3 mags through it from the kitchen out the back door....I'll use the rest up when the rain lets up and I can hang some targets. Threw a tin can aout about 25 feet and consistantly hit it after I found I was hitting high....I need to adjust the rear sight.

First 2 mags I fired at a steady pace, and with no jams on the Remington ammo, I rapid fired the last mag.....still no jams. It isnt locking back on the last round with either mag I have, but I suspect it may be having to do with my RIA and not the conversion lol. I have a gap between my mags (22 and 45) and the notch in the bottom of the frame, i.e. they hang down....I think its a common issue with Rocks. I may try one of those EGW mag releases that brings your magazine up tighter.

No I did not. I saw that too on the site. My kit isnt new, and has nothing in the manual about changing spring weight and didnt have a spring with it either. I will call AA tomorrow and ask them about the hammer spring and if it needs changed on the kit I have. It says the factory 1911 spring can cause jams, but Im having no jams so far.

It does mention that some manufacturer's plunger springs and/or slide stops can cause issues with slide locking back.....so I will tinker with that
