Pair of new Glock .22LR pistols

[graycrait]

Although I have gone the AA route before with Glock .22LR conversions I am determined to make this work better this time. I installed Seattle Brass Slugs in both frames to bring the weight up and may end up using adhesive lead tape used in weighting tennis racquets to get the overall weigh closer to 9mm Glocks. These will be dedicated .22LR Glocks as I have other 19s and 17s in 9mm. With the brass slugs the 19 weighs a bit over 17oz unloaded and the 17 .22LR weighs about 21oz.

Future range reports may follow.

Where did you find the conversions at? I have about given up.

[graycrait]

The gun shop I haunt occasionally gets them in. I just kept my name on a list. I think they currently have one for a commander sized 1911 and another for 20/21 Glocks. The owner told me that when his distributors tell him they have one he tells them send it his way. Patience can be a virtue, plus the owner knows I am a Glock "nut."

What .22 ammo runs best in your converted Glocks? What is FTF and FTE rate?

so what was the name on the kit

[BigK]

I'm REAL interested in hearing how they run too. I have been thinking about getting a .22 conversion for one of my CZs, but they are so expensive. I didn't even know Glock made them. Good news, if you can get your hands on one, I guess.

They look like Advantage Arms, are they?

Yeah, these are advantage arms. I have had 3 or 4 AA kits for Glocks before but friends always talked me out of them. These are staying. I would have liked to try out the Tactical Solutions kits as they weigh more, but these presented themselves.

In the past, as I have not been able to get to the range for several weeks, the AA kits worked great with CCI Mini Mag. I plan on using CCI Minu Mag, trying out some the CCI AR .22LR ammo and some of the hotter Aguilla.

If there was a significant failure rate before I don't recall it being bothersome. In fact if I have a gun that won't run reliably I generally try figure out why and fix it. My past experiences with AA kits is to clean them well, fluff and buff contact points, run with comparatively thin migrating lube and clean rather often. .22LR is "dirty."
