The difference between 3 (or even sub 3) cent .22 and 15 to 25 or 30 cent ammo is why most of us own at least one .22. ;)

Nothing my car issues have put the big hurt on the gun funds. :(

And I'll be happy to join the club.
Also planning to get the .22 conversion for the RIA 9mm 1911. (Or is that just asking for more 1911 troubles?)

I feel your pain, I just spent $300 on brakes and an oil change. There went my .22 kit for the Glock.....

If it was only $300 I would be ok. RIP Audi A8L. :( Technically it is still up an running but I am not the one paying to fix it anymore. LOL

@Millie
I have absolutely no experience with conversion kits so I’m surely not entitled to an opinion. But here’s why I don’t have any experience:
  • I don’t want to have to carry loose parts to the range.
  • I don’t want to stop shooting and overhaul my gun when I decide to shoot a different caliber.
  • I wonder whether these conversion kits cost significantly less than an dedicated .22 pistol of good quality (today, around $250 to under $300; much less if used).
Anybody with experience able to set me straight?

You are correct. A Ruger SR22, S&W M&P 22 and some other 22's are around the same price as a good conversion kit. The advantage to a conversion is that you can put it on one of your guns and leave it on, then shoot hundreds/thousands of rounds through it to learn the trigger of the gun. You can get familiar with the trigger without the expense and recoil. Then you can go back to the original upper with the same trigger.

That makes sense to me.

I’m trying to find a conversion kit for my new Yeet Cannon. :rolleyes:
 
I've got a Colt .22LR conversion for my 1911. Learn the same trigger and very easy to swap out as all you have to do after removing mag and clearing gun is to pull slide back and remove slide stop. Swap off upper halfs and back in business. I've however go tired of swapping them out and just built a dedicated .22 1911 :)

It's a matter of sliding the .22 slide onto the g19, according to Billy....even I can manage that, I think. I'd have a little case for it, no loose parts.

Now the 1911 one will be a bit more of an issue. But I don't want any more guns, so that's the way to go. I'm told the kit costs about $260 or so.

And of course you can have an opinion, it's still a free(ish) country, is it not?? LoL. I also have no experience with these kits, but I have shot Billy's guns with the conversions. He says I can put one on my Glock, so I feel like I can. We'll see soon enough!

Maybe a separate .22 would be ok, but that's 2 more guns to keep track of, and right now, I don't want 2 more guns....

Way better said than my reply! lol. And exactly why I want to get these for my guns.
 
YHM Saker adapter
Knocks ~.75” and >4oz off the SiCo Y-Mount
 
I got 4 targets and a box of .45 and had a good day with my shooting buddy. Had a couple of issues with the 1911 9mm, but a good morning at the range. ( Except for the heat!)
 
Got Dawson sending a respectable front sight for the Philippine slide on the 1911 I put together.

How cool. I’d love to see some video you’ve shot from that viewpoint.

Feller in my classes last semester took some vids of himself on a quail hunt.
It was really neat to watch the barrel come up, line up, recoil, and a folded up bird fall out of the sky lol

I bought a cheapo GP at WM and videoed myself shooting. I discovered some issues to work on. Probably need to find that sucka and do it again.

Maybe that's what I need to do. So I can see what I'm doing that may be causing me "issues".....
