Haven't tried it, myself, but have been tempted. The advantage with a kit is that you end up with the same grip and trigger as you're used to shooting. Still, a good kit like the Kimber isn't cheap and you still need the 1911, of course. That, and when I get a 1911 tuned and running the way I want, I don't want to convert it to anything else.

If you're a budget, I'd stay with the idea of the Browning or similar. That way you can take both a 1911 and a 22 pistol to the range. The kit route is something to consider, though, if you're more interested in shooting the 1911 platform than just shooting a 22 cal pistol. As for me, my 1911 shooting doesn't suffer in the least by shooting something like the Smith, Browning or Ruger semi-autos. Just not worth sacrificing one of my 1911s for kit use for the sake of staying with the 1911 platform. That's me, though.
