What's the point in speculating on such a theoretical situation? Besides, there have been .22LR conversion kits for 1911's and dedicated 1911 .22LR's for many years now. Yet there is a strong enough market for the 22/45 to coexist and it probably outsells all the rest. Typically, the Marvel Unit 1 notwithstanding, 22/45's will tend to shoot much more accurately than 1911's or conversions.
PS, took a look at the new GSG 1911-22 this afternoon and it looks like a winner and quite affordable at $325. Vastly better looking pistol than that pot metal Chiappa monstrosity.

Some of the 22/45s are entry level price but there are some 22/45s that are in the $450+ range.
There are many 1911s out there and Ruger has resisted for years.
Now there are more 1911-22 makers out there.
Even Browning is coming out w/1911-22.
I am only hoping that Ruger will come out w/one too - at a much more afford price but better quality than Chiappa.

I don't think it would hurt the 22/45, mine are far more accurate than the GSG that a friend has and my 1911/22 conversion is from Tactical Solutions and is practically custom built so its very accurate, on par with my 22/45s. I like the 22/45 and I shoot them much more than the TacSol.
Here's my "could'a should'a would'a" for today:
Ruger should have made the initial release of the SR1911 a combo kit with an included .22 conversion. bump the price up about $150 bucks and you've still got a quality 1911, plus the added benefit of being able to shoot cheap ammo in it. It'd be nice to have a ruger factory fitted conversion, so it matches well. 150 bucks will buy you what, 400 rds maybe of .45acp?
or
150 for the conversion plus 20 or so for a brick of 500 .22lr seems like a pretty good deal to me.

They should just buy conversion kits from someone and have them marked "Ruger". I doubt I would buy one anyways but if someone really wants a 22lr I doubt they would spend the money for a full 1911. If a 1911 owner wants a 22lr conversion, I would expect them to buy a conversion, and not a whole additional gun.
There are exceptions, but Ruger doesn't sell many guns to the exceptions... So, just sell a conversion kit.
