Jaxshooter Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 The Marvel mag loaders work with both the SS and widebody mags. It catches on the round button on the magazine and pulls the spring and followers down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) The mag loader will work on Marvel SS and widebody mags. It is my understanding that the Kimber mags will work with the Marvel units. Doeas anyone know if any of the less expensive mags will work with the Marvel units? I have found CCI Standard Velocity 22 LR are the most accurate out of the Marvel units and my S&W Model 41.

TonyT Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I have used both the Metalform and Kimber plastic mags with my Tactical Solutions 22 conversion unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss+P Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Finally got my conversion last monday and tried it out. with just a couple of mags and it runs great. the only problem i am having with the mags is that they don't fall free from the gun. they are really tight, i can't even insert them easily. anyone else having this problem. other than that is is just about perfect, i have shot CCI .22 standard velocity and Winchester LRN bullets and both seem to work well.

Sumtoc Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Heckler, thanks for the response on mag loader for the TS wide body mags. Please post results here as I really would like to have a solution too. Jaxshooter, the question was whether a Marvel mag loader would work on a Tactical Solutions wide body mag. After I posted the original question I realized it would not since the TS wide body mags do not have the thumb button on the side like the Marvel mags. The the TS mags are smooth like an STI hi cap mag. Sorry for the confusion. Edited April 13, 2011 by Sumtoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911Prof Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I have a problem with my Tacsol 2211 conversion. When I put it on my open 2011 frame, the hammer will follow the slide upon reset. If I put it on my Kimber 1911 single stack frame it locks back fine. I have no problem with the hammer following the slide on my 2011 with the 38 super slide, only with the tactical solutions 22 upper. It does not appear to be strictly a problem with the disconnector, but rather the slide is not pushing the hammer back far enough to engage the hammer hooks. If I rack the slide,the hammer locks back fine, if I drop the hammer and hold the trigger back and rack the slide, the hammer will follow the slide unless I push the slide down while I rack it.

BallisticianX Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 I have a problem with my Tacsol 2211 conversion.

That is unfortunate. But when a trigger job is done whatever gets stoned or changed to obtain the desired feel can of course change the dynamics of the system. In your case it sounds like somewhere along the line a considerable amount of material was removed from the hammer and/or sear to change the position it catches.

hercster Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I had one of these for a while on my Night Hawk Custom commander. I had to play with a few things to get it working well. First off, it didn't like Mini Mags as the coating on those bullets would accumulate at the feed ramp/chamber. I eventually found that Fed Bulk HP worked best. The magazines were beautifully crafted but expensive and fussy. I played around a great deal before getting the slide to lock back reliably. One of the solutions was a dedicated slide stop with a slightly curved and polished interface for the plunger pin. The best thing about that unit was the service I got from TS's tech support. In fact everyone at Tac Sol seemed to be a cut above average. Eventually I changed out my .22 Conversion for a Nelson Custom that I bought through Night Hawk. Dealing with Larry Nelson and company goes down as my best experience ever in the firearms business. The Nelson unit works perfectly, looks great and has the Nelson support that just can't be beat.

Joe D Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I too have the Nelson/Marvel conversion. It sits on a Kimber frame. The other conversions cannot compare to the Nelson accuracy wise. Surprisingly these magazines work great. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1506394316/promag-conversion-magazine-1911-kimber-marvel-iver-johnson-conversions-22-long-rifle-polymer-black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuayThaiJJ Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Does anyone know the the ProMag 1911-22 mags work in the TacSol 2211 upper? I had issues with my GSG mags in the TS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had issues with my GSG mags in the TS. I'd just call tacsol and order the correct mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
