My shop has them, but I have zero experience with them, I like the 1911 version though

That firefly looks pretty neat. I have the GSG16. yeah it's kinda cheap made but it works, every time. even runs the 110 round drums. I'm really likin this one

No experience with them, just what I've heard and read on the net.
1911 seems to be fine.
But I do seem to recall problems with the Firefly. You might wanna Google that one and see what you find.

I have the 1911 and it's a great little pistol. I haven't counted how many rounds I've put through it but it's been a bunch. Just keep it clean and use hi-vel loads and you should have lots of fun.

Another 22 LR option is Advantage arms conversion units.
Practice with your original guns trigger pull.

They make conversions for 1911 in Target, standard and commander models.
(does not work for the Springfield Range Officer),
They also offer conversions for XDs, Glocks and soon will include Hellcats and P365 models.

The 1911 conversions retail for $285.00, the Target model is $349.00.

I don’t have experience with either but the 1911 looks really sharp.
I’ve read about the Firefly feeding/ejecting issues. It may become frustrating.

I'll read up on the firefly, can't order it yet anyway. i just ordered this. my LGS wants over 700 bucks for one. will match my old school green Steyr Aug. and as you know i likes the colored guns

I have a 1911. Very fun gun. One of favorites. I actually use it to do practical pistol competitions
Keep it clean and run good ammo through it and you'll love it

 

[kcruisin]

I highly recommend them. I've about worn one out. I found a sale on another, it often collects dust.
I've put 2-300 rounds a week through the first one, it's still doing good after several years, I'm impressed.

There's no good reason to break it down for cleaning. It displasces the barrel and messes the sights up.
Just use a good, cheap spray cleaner.

I was considering a Firefly a few months ago for fun in the yard/barn and asked my LGS. They had a few available, but the rep who is knowledgeable/honest mentioned that these were on the low-end of 22 as far as reliability... Too bad because they're good looking, SIG original design/frame, but apparently re more trouble than they're worth... Didn't get anything instead, just gave up on 22 altogether...

I have a friend who has the Firefly and he really likes it

That takes precedence over my comment then, first-hand experience stomps hearsay, good to know!

Note the LGS didn't try to sell me on anything else (well, except a P322 with RDS which wasn't gonna happen) and they had some in stock, so could have made a sale but preferred not to. I did get an M17 that day though, so all in all they won, but it was already planned anyway.

PS: @PAGunGuy nice GSD in the profile picture! Truly man's best friend (despite being German )
