    Glock .22lr Conversion

    Hey all, I am a new Glock owner and I am looking for a .22 conversion kit for my G21. I have looked around a little and have seen the Advantage Arms 22LR Conversion Kit, and I was wondering if this is the only way to go? What others are out there, and would you go with AA or them?

    I have an early AA and could not be happier and I have the same sights on it that I have on my other slides.

      I've had both the Ciener and the AA. The Ciener didn't work very well; the AA works perfectly. Pluses of the AA system are:

      Locks open when empty
      Less ammo sensitive than Ciener
      Much better customer service than Ciener (who doesn't believe in customer service at all, apparently)
      I'm retired. That's right, retired. I don't want to hear about the cop who stopped you today or how you didn't think you should get a ticket. That just makes me grumpy!

        The AA kit is the ruler of all. Couldn't be happier with mine. Takes about 5 seconds to put on and runs almost perfectly with the recommended ammo.

        Worst part is finding a kit and mags. I got a kit from this site and the mags from ambientsw.com

          +1 on the AA. Didn't like the big weight difference between the OEM slide and the conversion kit, but it worked well and shot accurately. If it worked w/ 3.5# connectors, I'd still own one (my G17 has a competition trigger kit). Will probably buy another one for my G19 some day.

            Well guys from what I am hearing its looks like its going to be the AA kit. I am probably going to go with the LE. Do you guys think the price in the link below is good? Or should I keep shopping around to find it cheaper?

              buy it wherever you can find it regardless of price. Unless you can wait a year or longer for the demand to subside. topglock is fine but they do not have any of them in stock and the backorder log is not real pretty from what I've heard.

                I have a AA kit for my Glock 23. I love it. It is surprisingly accurate.

                I paid a premium price for because of the long delay in delivery. I have an order in since May'09. I did not cancel that order when I got my my kit. I plan to try to sell it at a price that will compensate me for the premium that I paid for the kit that I currently have.

                  Wow I didnt realize there was such a demand for a Glock conversion kit. I seen the Sig kits at both of my local dealers, but I dont own a Sig.

                  Ifticar, how much of a premium are we talking about?

                    I paid $350 delivered.

                      Why buy .22 Caliber Conversion for my Glock?

                      Why buy and use conversion kits for training, plinking or target shooting with the 12 year old ...if for $350 I can buy one of several nice choices in .22 caliber handguns and those work quite nicely for plinking or target shooting. You can buy a used Ruger MKII or... maybe a MKIII, those guns cost about the same as a good conversion kit and they are made specially to do their job...to shoot .22 cal.
                      Better off with one of each or in this case a Glock and some other kind of .22 caliber pistol and keep my Glocks for what they were made to shoot ...well, that's the way I see it and my opinion anyway!

                              have an AA kit for my 17, love it. so far it has been willing to eat any non-hollowpoint rounds i've tried.
