    Arrived Fri, have 200 rds of blazer, 40 gr lead thru it, with 2 ftf's. Not bad for the $$ invested. Also ordered 3 extra mags, since it only has 1 included with the conversion.

    Cool on the performance - the one I tried was for a Glock 17/22 setup and I could get maybe a few mags thru it without me having to clean it up. However, I have read that with a dremel and a polishing wheel you could get quite good increase in reliability.

    Not yet. I cleaned it, before installing on the 19. Actually read the instructions (i blame that on covid) Saw what ammo they suggested, with 40 gr blazer lead, as one of them. Light lube on contact surfaces, ran 2-50 rd boxes, stopping to reload the mags. 2 light strikes, the rest fed and ejected w/out an issue.
    Did the same thing yesterday, with zero failures.
    So far, so good. I have other ammo they suggest. I'll run the blazer till there's issues, keeping track of performance till that time. . Be curious how many rounds i can run before any issues occur.

    I was hesitant to invest in a conversion unit, due to issues with another one, some years back.

    Surprisingly no one wanna buy the Federal 308 168gr match.
    It was so cheap that, I bought 1-3 box(es) per Walmart visit. Every time I was there, it was a same quantities of boxes available.

    Clearly not a Walmart I go to, since I would have bought it!

    to lazy to post an actual picture. This is a very late b-day present to myself, after the medical issues i dealt with. I had convinced myself, there was no need to buy anymore guns, since i have a "few" . But when another RSO at the range said hey check this out, and how infrequently it's available. I said screw it.

    You can never go wrong with another 1911, my friend.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!
