    Just bought a parts kit for a browning 1911 22 cal it has all parts except the frame.I am planing to convert my Black label .380 to a kit gun by installing the barrel,slide and slide lock from the 22 cal parts kit.I will have to purchase 22 cal.mags.May also do away with the magazine safety as the kit has a mag relies
    will get parts kit in about 1 week. Any suggestions or questions appreciated
    I will update post when job is done

    I've got two 1911 .380s that I convert between .380 and .22 using .22 slide assemblies.
    You WILL need a .22 slide stop/lock, but the .380 extractor will work fine with the .22.
