Does anyone have any experience and/or opinions about any of the conversion kits for a Glock? I am intrigued, but just not sure about them since I have never seen one in person. Are they worth the money, and how do they perform?
I believe they say to use high velocity ammo like CCI minimags. I've tried using the bulk pack ammo and have problems. After owning one my personal opinion is just get a dedicated 22 pistol unless you don't mind shooting the more expensive 22 ammo. My ruger 22 pistol eats everything.
This is an interesting concept. If the recoil is enough it would be an excellent practice aide. Going to Google this.

I had an Advantage Arms LE kit for my Glock 17. Loved it. Used Remington Golden Bullets. I too especially lied it because I was practicing with exactly the same trigger as my 9mm.
I have an Advantage Arms kit for my G19 and like it a lot,mine doesn't like the cheap bulk ammo much.
I am in a weekly training group. Several guys have Glock .22 conversions. If you can run Minimags all of the time, you will be fine. If not, it's a constant ftf drill.
Guys running M&P .22s have way fewer problems.
If you reload your ammo cost is slightly above the price of Minimags, but your training is much more realistic. Recoil control is very important.

I had an Advantage Arms kit for my G21. Actually two kits. First one was bored off-center and couldn't dial the sights over far enough to get on point of aim. It ate CCI minimags and Winny bulk ammo like candy. Just couldn't make it shoot straight.
AA replaced the kit promptly (even with the huge backlog I got a complete new unit, instead of the expected properly manufactured barrel) but the second kit had a bad extractor or something like that. Only put a couple of rounds through it and the shell would jam in the breech. Had to push it out with a cleaning rod.
Field striping is not as easy as with a Glock slide, you have to actually push down on a hard surface with the muzzle to unlock it. I didn't really like that. Several cautions in the manual about trying to break it down while cocked, so you have to dry fire a lot. They do put a small relief in the breech face to save the firing pin.
Sadly there are very few dealers who take returns on firearm products so I unloaded it on Armslist. The buyer never complained. So I don't feel bad, perhaps it was just me ...
I'd say the quality control varies. If it works, great. If not there's always Armslist. As others have stated, Ruger 22's will eat anything.
