Is that Mantis attached right to the mag? How does that work?

Yes. It's a motion sensor. On other pistols I have attached it to the rail, but the C rail is a little wider than what I believe is standard. I had my doubts that the device would work on the bottom of the magazine, but it seems to record the same information - although I can't be sure it's as accurate. Mantis mentions that location is ideal if you want to do practice (live or dry) with your holster.

Is there a decent 1911in 22RF, or a conversion kit that is good.
If going a conversion it would probably go on a cheap Springfield.
Preferably suited to a dot as I’m getting a bit long in the tooth for open sights

Marvels 22 slide. Taylor tactical followers for 16 round mags.

Tim Herron is coming to my area next month, is his 2 day course work doing?

One of the large-format 'gun press' 1911 books recommended the Sig 1911 22. However, that book had a few questionable bits, so I'm not sure I'd put too much stock in it.

However, he did explicitly say that while the Sig was made by GSG, the Sig apparently had better fit and finish than the GSG.

I've personally only seen and shot one Sig that ran fine (and just missed out on buying the last one available here), one Colt that ran fine, and one GSG that is a jam-o-matic.

Small sample size, though ...

I can affirm that John ('Tony') Myer of JM Custom Kydex does good work. He and Tricia are a pleasure to deal with, very accommodating, and production/service is on-time.

I've used him before, but he's making two 1911 holsters for me as we speak ... it's all @Formidilosus's fault!

Which 1911 holsters did you get from JMCK, and how are you liking them? I am thinking about an AIWB option, especially for warmer weather. I've also looked online at the Carey Concealment Mach 1 (not all of their models are available for the C) and the Camber (not AIWB, but it appears pretty small).
