After seeing the blown cases on that Glock conversion the guy was letting his kid shoot at the range, I'm not going to be the first kid on the block to own a conversion kit. Not good when any firearm discharges when not in battery.

["DoubleAction"]

TMan; I've always preferred to have those firearms which came chambered exclusively for the .22 rimfires. I've never been much for the .22 conversions.

DA, I think I mentioned that I have the Kimber 1911 in 22LR. I think I'd rather have a 1911 with the conversion so it would approximate the weight of a real 1911. The Kimber just doesn't feel right because it is too light.

["DoubleAction"]

TMan; Bill Ruger scored his first good Government contract with his Ruger .22 Semi-Auto, because the angle of the grip duplicated that of the 1911A1 service pistol. This also made pistol practice much less costly.

I noticed the grip angle of the Buckmarks are very similar.

I also have a S&W model 17, six round, double action revolver, chambered in .22 LR. This revolver is built on the S&W K-Frame, with a long spur hammer and .500" target trigger.

I don't shoot rimfires that often because what time I have to spend at the range, I'm there to remain proficient with my defensive calibers. The .22 rimfires are real fun when shooting outdoors, but I don't have much fun with them at the indoor ranges. I have to go pretty far to have any fun with my rimfires these days.

I've stocked up on enough ammo to last me a while, especially .40 S&W and 38 super. I'm holding pretty good on .45 acp and 357 sig, and have more than enough of 44 magnum, 44 special, .357 magnum, and 38 special. I might take my Model 17 to the range because I've been losing strength in my wrist since retiring; I might have to start using my Buckmarks again for the same reason. I'm kinda used to shooting 500 rounds of .45 acp with no problems, but last time I started limp wristing at about 400 rds.

We have sold quite a few of the P226 .22LR kits. The feedback has been mostly good. I think it works very well for those that want to stay with the same platform. The competition guys are really happy about it. Same trigger, same tactile points etc.

The slide is aluminum and the sights are LPA. Overall, it looks to be a quality kit.

One point that has not yet been addressed; the magazines are not designed to engage the slide catch lever, so unless you are counting, after your last round is always a dry fire. We will see if this is a problem, being a rim fire.

The P220 and P228/229 kits are supposed to be out soon.
