Hey Guys,

I was just over at the Glockmeister.com site when I noticed that 22LR conversion kit for Glocks they started selling not too long ago. I've seen a bunch of places selling those. It does sound like a good idea to own one. For one thing I would be able to get a lot more exposure to the Glock trigger which I still haven't quite mastered. But, before I drop $250 to get one I first wanted to check with the resident Glock experts on TFL.

Does anyone here actually own a 22LR conversion kit for a Glock. This is pretty much a general question so any kit for any Glock will do. And if so, what is your opinion on the product.

Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
 
IIRC the kit glockmeister sells is made by Ciener. i have a Ciener kit for my Beretta 92FS and don't like it much. it works fine but the sights are very bad and hard to see.

i'm thinking of getting a .22 kit for my Glock 19 made by Advantage Arms. it uses glock factory sights and if you want you can even replace them with sights you prefer. another plus is that the slide locks back on this one unlike the Ciener kit. i've heard some good reviews of it over at glocktalk.
 
I would not recommend any of these kits and here is why. You need to practice with the gun you are gonna use with the ammo you are gonna shoot. I don't think it will do you much good to practice with a .22 kit in your .40 Glock and then switch back. The recoil is totally different and it's like shooting 2 different guns.

I thought about doint this also, but decided that for about the same price as the conversion I can get a nice .22 handgun. This way it will be made for .22 and I can have another gun to boot! :)

Just my .0000002 cents worth
 
I think there is value in the .22 kits. Recoil control is only one aspect of the shooting skill set. Using a .22 conversion for basic draw and fire drills, gun handling, trigger control, trigger control, and did I say trigger control is a great way to get the practice you need and save money. The sights on the kit should be at least as good as the original sights.
 
i bought the ciener kit but got rid of it. the fit was poor, and the mags are machined metal, which wear your plastic mag release. i'd either be constantly checking my mag release or worried that i might be compromising the reliability of my glock.

also, ciener, while not unethical, is not up to modern standards of customer service. they left a bad taste.
