Great write-up. I didn't know if I could use a conversion kit on my Springfield because it is a bushingless model like yours. Good to know that it can be done. I may pick up one of these kits.
For the asking price of the Nelson which is 435 on their web sit you can buy a GSG 1911 22lr, or a Colt 1911 22 lr. Under 300 for the GSG and under 400 for the Colt.
Hi Roy, yes the Nelson is expensive, but the GSG has plastic sights, a pot metal slide, a fragile finish, etc. like anything in life, there are trade offs. For some, the Nelson makes more sense. Thanks for watching.
The Nelson is built or Bullseye / Precision shooting and is very accurate ,the upper was designed by Bob Marvel from Marvel Precision ( the first accurate 22lr upper ) mainly for competition precision shooting , its why its more expensive and better quality then most other out there . I shoot bullseye with a few guys that have custom 1911's with Marvels and Nelsons on them and man they shoot 580's to 590's with 600 being 100% .
19bmw91 the Nelson has no gap. The bottom spring cover area of the slide is long enough that even the short commander slide dust cover reaches the slide. If that makes sense.
Prob the only like I've given in years just cuz the way he said everything at the end u know please like and subscribe I don't Wana make a living off it I just like it as Hobbie made me do it subconsciously
Yes, thats what i said in the video when i introduced the gsg. It leaves a gap where the dust cover ends, and i point that out. Its not a flaw, but it leaves the gap. Thanks for watching.
The cz kadet 2 on a cz 75 frame seems to be about the same quality and build. It is not inexpensive either. CZ does not offer the KADET 2 at the present time. Love your writeup . Just got my 1911-22 conversion back today from Marvel . It now sits on my stainless Para frame ready for me to try out.
Thank for showing the Nelson conversion kit. Very interesting design
Very nice job. You covered exactly what I wanted to know. I look forward to more reviews from you.
Thanks very much. I intend to get active again, I’ve been too lazy and busy.
great presentation, good info. Just what I was looking for. Thanx
Just know Browning Arms, has a 1911 380. And a 22. 17 % smaller than a full size 1911. Good for small hands. St.Paul,Minnesota.
More insight than I can use.

Excellent review mate, thanks. I'll subscribe for that.
Ritchie, can I use my stock slide release when using my GSG conversion kit?
I haven’t bought one yet but I think that Nelson/Marvel is pretty much a gussied up or improved Centaur/Jarvis conversion
Hi Ritchie. the GSG was about $140, and the Nelson is about $400 new, but I bought from a third party.
Very informative. Thanks.
thanks, usaf vet! thanks for watching, too.

Love that Nelson upper. I have the sig on a foster frame. I think the sig is a gsg.
Question - Would a GSG 1911-22 conversion kit work on a Norinco 1911-9 mm gun?
Great video btw...
Hi Moe. I am not sure, but if a mil spec 1911 slide will fit your frame, it should fit. Thanks for watching.
Does CGC require any internal work on the firearm?
Nope. Both fit and fired on my Colt Commanding Officers model with no mods to the Colt or the conversions. Super simple drop in fit.
Nelson Costum looks like the Tactical Solutions conversión units. Doesn't it?
I am not familiar with Tactical Solutions. I know they were developed from Marvel conversions, and are nearly identical to those.
Thinking of getting a nelson for my commander also. Was there a gap in front of the dustcover like with the gsg? Couldn't tell.
Thanks!
19bmw91 the Nelson has no gap. The bottom spring cover area of the slide is long enough that even the short commander slide dust cover reaches the slide. If that makes sense.
Citadel Grad sure does thanks!
l had colt 1911 fs 45acp can l buy convert kit 22lr?
Prob the only like I've given in years just cuz the way he said everything at the end u know please like and subscribe I don't Wana make a living off it I just like it as Hobbie made me do it subconsciously
What was the cost of each?
About $400 for the Nelson, about $200 for the GSG. Thanks for watching.
Witch one do you recommend for reliability?
I think the Nelson custom is a bit more reliable. Ignition has been 100%, function probably 97%. The gsg is probably more like 90%.
I wanna buy your GSG.. if didn't want it..
gsg states clearly that their conversion is built for FULL frame weapons, 70 or 80 series.
Yes, thats what i said in the video when i introduced the gsg. It leaves a gap where the dust cover ends, and i point that out. Its not a flaw, but it leaves the gap. Thanks for watching.
I see a full size Govt frame in your future...
I want one, but California won't let me buy a frame alone, it has to be a complete pistol listed on the roster
