Late response..
The "floating chamber" idea appealed to me but I didn't really care for the need to replace the entire slide and everything above the frame since the conversion had enough energy to cycle a steel slide. Seemed it should be possible to make a conversion that utilized the original slide etc. Granted, there are issues like centerfire vs rimfire, extractor location etc. but those all seemed resolvable.View attachment 540447

The .22 Conversion Kit has a "floating chamber" that increases recoil to more closely simulate the recoil of .45 ACP. The floating chamber was designed by David Marshall "Carbine" Williams. .......
