I was in the market for a new .22 auto because the 9mms are getting expensive to shoot 3 or 4 times a week. I tried the Ruger SR22 and wasn't a fan; light primer strikes every magazine (it was a range rental, so rather dirty, but still . . .) and just felt too small in my hands. I wanted something that felt like my PT99. And, I stumbled across the conversion kit! Ordered one up, can't wait to use it. I'll post a range report when I can.

Nice! Looks like an easy way to train trigger control. Although I will say the problem you were having with the range model was probably more so due to the ammo vs the SR22.

They only sell the kits, so I need to find someplace else to buy magazines. I feel best with enough magazines to hold 100 rounds. That will probably cost more than the kit!

Ok, the Taurus .22 conversion kit is great, I'm so happy with it! I only got to shoot 4 magazines through it (40 rounds) before I switched back to 9mm and the locking block broke after 3 shots. The kit didn't cause it, it doesn't even use the lock block. It feed the .22 Golden Bucket stuff that the Ruger Mark I hates, no problem. The magazine loads super easy, no finger pain or tools needed. It also feels very solid, one of the heftiest I've handled, I guess to fill the well. The barrel is a bull barrel, to fill up the receiver, and is very accurate. The first picture with the gun (cool two tone color scheme!) is the first magazine of 10 rounds through the kit. The large center target is the first 2 magazines from 7 yards, offhand, plus the 3 9mm rounds. The 2 left targets are 10 rounds offhand at 7 yards and the 2 right are 10 rounds at 10 yards. I was just getting the feel for it when it went to hell. This gun (when I get it back) will be a game changer! I'll save a ton on ammo and still have competency with my 9mm. GunBroker had about 10 kits left, get 'em while you can! The one big downside is the single magazine. can't find a source for more, yet. If I do, I'll buy my share and than post it here. The kit is over all very solid feeling. Not much moving parts, no lock block to break! Oh, the sights are fixed but nice...Trying to upload pics but it's not working:anyone::cry11:

I have a similar 22 conversion for my Beretta. Looks almost exactly like it but it is made by Beretta. . I’m like you in the aspect that I got it to shoot more for less. Those conversions are fun
