I at one point had 4 of the conversions... now only 3... sold the Officers 1911 to a buddy with a small Kimber.. still have 2 Commander size ones.. target & fixed sights and one for my Taurus PT99... my late father got the first one for rimfire pins... they were the only affordable game in town for quite a while... haven't used them in years.. have a Marvel conversion that sees most of the range time

I've got one of their AR conversions. It runs great and is very accurate.
I can't fault the guy for retiring though.

I had a Ciener Hi Power Plus conversion kit. Excellent build quality. Shot very tight groups, fed and ejected reliably but would have a lot of misfires unless I put the stock 32lb mainspring vs. the 26 lb. one I had in it for better trigger pull. Sold it for $200 back in 2018 on this forum because I had CZ Kadet (on a CZ SPO1 Target Shadow) and Tactical Solutions Conversion (on a Colt Delta Elite) kits that had less misfires with the way my host guns were set up.

Does anybody still make a .22 conversion for the Hi-Power? I'd like to have one.
I have one of the Kimber labeled ones. Lots of fun and fairly accurate.
My only complaint is it doesn’t lock back on the last shot. Now that they are out of business i have a sudden urge for another magazine.
Target is at 18yds, just plinking with bulk ammo. Likes CCI Mini-Mags.

He won’t be missed by many…
Yup. My Dad was a Machinist so I learned early to deal with grumpy old men. It sure came in handy as an LEO though. As my Counselor in college used to say, “you’ve got to have a sense of humor” (in LE). I sure miss my “grumpy old man” Dad though...

I had one of is kits years back, but their customer service was an absolute nightmare! It was fairly well made, but did need a little tweaking to get it to work well. After acquiring many other 22 pistols and not really using it anymore, , I got rid of it many years back - no tears shed.

I nearly bought a Ciener at least 15 years ago. I read many negative comments about it, so I bought an EAA .22 conversion kit instead. It worked OK, but only using standard velocity ammunition. I had several case blowouts with HV .22 ammunition.

It is sad to see an item like this disappear from the firearms accessories market. I wonder if he tried to sell the company?
