22LR Conversion Kit

Why not just own a 22?

for me it was a big thing to be able to teach G with the exact trigger, safety, and grip as the 'real' one.     We went through thousands of rounds of .22 before switching and it was really good.

I also have custom grips on the Wilson and a trigger set at about 3.5 pounds.   It's enjoyable to shoot.    To replicate that on a .22 would be difficult.

The thing weighs a ton and so it doesn't even wiggle as a .22               you can draw smiley faces at 7 yards.

It's a teaching tool and a fun thing...not a training tool for shooting the .45

but the real reason...... the wife was ok with one gun for now.   I got it by on a technicality.

both explanations make sense...

I guess.
