The firing pin on some commercial
.22 conversion kits protrudes back too
far causing the hammer to hit the firing
pin when the hammer is in the Safety
Stop position. When this occurs the gun
could fire and is a potentially dangerous
situation. .22 conversion kits with this condition are
dangerous and could cause serious injuries.
For your safety and the safety of others, these .22
conversion kits should not be used on any Springfield
1911 model pistol.
