Lets try this again shall we ?

Voodoos 1911 .22 conversion

Slide mounted optics on a 22 conversion? I wish there were more pictures. $2500 is a little on the high side, but not completely unreasonable for a full pistol assuming all the parts are good and well fitted.

Steve, I might be mistaken, but I suspect that the "upper" is just a rebranded Marvel or Nelson and, if so, the combo rail is fixed to the barrel and the optic is therefore not "slide mounted".

I guess that, IMHO, other than the catchy name that might appeal to the "run and gun" crowd, why bother with this when you can get very, very nice complete guns from FCW Marvel almost instantly and for lower cost, or, if you prefer a Nelson, they will also sell you a complete gun, but the wait period might be slightly longer.

In both cases, choice of ribs, test target barrel, etc., etc.

I'm pretty darn sure it's just a Marvel...

Adam has seen and fired the Vudoo, not impressed by it. Seems to work OK. He is working with a Nelson conversion plus I'm making a one piece barrel for it from Lilja tightbore blank. I'll try a Lilja .22 match chamber reamer. I don't think it's worth the price as a shooter, simply put it looks good! Adam has a 208s, frankin215 (215 worked on with 1911 grips) and a Pardini but prefers the Nelson. Being that the scope is mounted on the barrel the conversion can be put on any 1911 frame and be accurate. So I doubt the extra cost will add anything to accuracy. Plus if it is a simple Marvel added to 1911 frame there is little to gain over pulling a Marvel on any 1911 frame!

Vudoo Gun Works is a local company here in SW Utah. I toured their shop a year or so ago when they first started building 1911's. The upper IS a rebranded Marvel. They do build their own lowers. Vudoo changed ownership recently.

Or get a complete FCW gun and save $1000!
That's certainly some voodoo.
