I am looking for some opinions on the Advantage Arms .22 conversion kits for Glocks from those who have used them. Any issue? Pros/cons?
I had one for a Glock 17 and it was fun, eventually sold it when I got rid of the pistol. Not too long ago I picked up another one but it is for the Glock 21 size pistol. They are pretty accurate, I have had no problem with Remington Golden Bullets, and they really help the pocket book as far as a training tool.
Same here. It's not good to practice splits IMO, because the recoil and cyclic rate are different than the real deal. But it's great to practice draws, reloads and accuracy work at lower cost. I added weighted basepads to the mags to make them drop free better.
I have been looking to get one but they are out of stock everywhere.
I have one for a Glock 19/23. It makes for a nice light weight .22 that is fun to shoot. Stick with the type of ammo that Advantage Arms recommends and your experience should be realtively trouble free. I got mine at Oklahoma Police Supply in Tulsa last year. I could be wrong but I thought you could order direct from Advantage Arms website, that is if they are not backordered or something.
I have one and have tried several different brands of ammo. The only real failure was with the Russian "Junior" sub-sonic rounds. They would not consistently cycle the slide. Otherwise my experience has been positive and I did pay $300 for my unit. With today's ammo prices, I feel it will pay for itself very soon.
I only shot mine a little but like it. It was for a G19. I had to shoot federal ammo thru it just because it said not to do it. I got lucky and got mine at wannamachers last October. My friend that works security was able to locate it for me and the person set it aside for me. It will run close to $300 for it.
