Spare mags for 1911 conversion

...unless you come across some second hand from an individual, I don't think you'll do better than $25. Ciener and others list them at $35 or so. I don't believe there are other mags which can be substituted, although there have certainly been lots of flavors of .22 conversions made for 1911s over the years.FWIW I've never seen a need for more than a couple spares for any of my conversions, especially the Glock ones that don't drop free, not too useful at steel speed events. Hope this helps.

As far as I remember, Cabelas had the kits and spare mags not too long ago. The kits were under $200 and the mags were $25, IIRC.
Unfortunately, they are listed as out of stock on their website. I checked at Cheaper than Dirt, Natchez, and Midway, too. No dice.
Ciener sells them directly, but the whole kit is listed at $200 and the mags at $40.
