No new news? Hope there isn't a problem. I was wondering if you could cut the slide to look something like a Beretta brigadier slide but then this becomes more than a simple conversion. Maybe "Kiwicollectorar15" might be on to something.

Made another spring adjustment and switched back to H110 7.2gr with 40gr armscor bullet. Got some movement on the slide, but not enough to cycle. Our "hot" load in the AR was 8.5 gr with this bullet so we'll bump things up again a tenth grain or two at a time. As far a going straight blow back, that gets us an 8.5 oz slide, and remember, the bolt alone on the AR is 14.3 so I think that would be asking for trouble. However, when I get another barrel done, I will play with the locking lugs if I can't bump up the power.

Started bumping up loads last night in the Glok, up to 8.6gr of H110 and climbing.....(that was our Hot load in the AR)

So silly question but have you tried a light spring just to get it to cycle and forget about the ability to strip a round from the magazine at the moment
Not sure if you can change the camming angle of the barrel to unlock sooner if that would help
Maybe you need to do a floating chamber like the early .22 conversion 1911 slides that would increase the power of the .22 rounds to cycle a steel slide
The newer 1911 kits just use a alloy slide to able the .22 to function

It shoots nice but kind of a pain to clean.

Yes, that is always an option.... Up to 9.2 gr and rounds are starting to stick in the chamber a bit. New reamers supposed to be here Monday.

I bought a light spring, 11 lb vs 17/18 lb and cut it twice. 2nd cut was too much as now the firing pin / trigger mechanism will over ride the recoil spring and move the slide back when pulling the trigger. I don't know if lightening up the trigger side will help or not, but I definitely need to understand the gloks a bit more. I'm hoping the new barrel with the new reamer chamber will help out. As a side note, I handled a RIA 22 TCM on Friday at the new Cabela's in Greenville, SC. He wouldn't let me field strip it but the recoil spring was extremely light. I wanted to get a feel for the slide weight to see if any work had been done with that. I know it was definitely lighter than my clone 1911 TCM project. The barrel also had a "pencil" profile adding to the weight loss. The price as $550 for the TCM and $750 for the TCM/9mm which I thought was a bit steep, but it was Cabela's. Speaking of Cabela's, if you ever get to Dundee in SE Michigan, you need to stop at Cabela's there. It used to be the largest one at 225,000 sq ft but now there is one in PA at 250,000, if my info is correct. Also to my surprise, they have Cabela's tractors! Made by the Woods company. Anyway, time to get to work.....
