If I had a pristine, super nice, 1911, in 9mm or full .45, I would consider buying a .22 conversion so to have the pleasure of holding a 1911 but paying for .22 LR ammo.
I had access, on weekends, to a 1911 in .22 cal, (free ammo) for 4 years, courtesy of the NROTC rifle team. (I wasn't on the pistol team- I would have brought their scores down) but did very well on the rifle team. That was in the early 1950's and in this state, at that time, you could shoot just about anywhere. Can't do that any more . . . sad.
I have posted elsewhere that I recently bought a low-end 1911 in .22 cal, just for fun and cheap shooting.
Other than that, I would just buy an SD40VE if I wanted a larger caliber than my SD9VE. I agree completely that buying a conversion for a low end gun makes no sense at all.
Why does this keep coming up?
