(Big Snip) ... Searching for information on this particular tool can be difficult as it has several names. Chamber adapters are also known as cartridge adapters, chamber reducers, chamber inserts, sub-gauge inserts, reducer sleeves, barrel insert bushings, and caliber conversion sleeves.  ---CONTINUED---

I have adapters (.22 cal) for my colt 1911's, they work good.

I suspect your 1911's are originally chambered in 45 APC, but my real questions are:
do your adapters have a sleeve through the entire length of the barrel?
how does a .22 in an adapter manage to chamber the next round?

It's more then an adapter kit, when I bought my .45 colt, 70 series, back in 1973, guess what I paid for it, $179.99, it's worth thousands now.

Any way, I purchased this kit back in the 1980's, I do not believe they make it anymore.

OK, so it is almost the entire upper assembly.
Makes sense now.

My experience was with the .22LR adapters for the M-16, back in the 70's.
They didn't work as well as the government thought they would, and were eventually scrapped.
(It happens, when they buy from the lowest bidder.)
