22LR Conversion Kit

[rgramjet]

Just bought one for my Glock 17. A Ceiner.  Never tried one but looks like a good idea.

Any reviews?

You'll shoot your eye out.

I use a ciener on my Wilson


not so much for practice as it's obviously very different shooting.

But for just plain fun it's great.....I'll go shoot a hundred rounds of .45 and then swap out and shoot all day with the .22


Biggest and best advantage is being able to teach someone how to shoot with it.   Teaching my wife how to use the house gun was easy with the .22 top end.   The best part is that she was learning with the same safety, trigger, and grip....so literally nothing mechanically changed when we put the .45 back on other than the size of the bang.

It's well made and I haven't had any problems in years of use.    it gets cleaned about every other time the gun does.

ok,..........someone explain for the clueless.
how is this that you can switch a .45 to a .22 and back?

A conversion kit.   

The kit has a new slide and barrel and magazine that allows the gun to use .22 ammo.

15 second swap.     

Next time I clean mine I'll take some pics of it apart.

And spring... but how's the firing pin work? (curious)

simple swap too?

Yea, spring comes with the slide and is obviously weaker so that the smaller round can cycle it.  Firing mechanism/pin doesn't change.

As Statler said, it is as simple as field stripping the gun and putting the new slide on.

I want to get one for my AR-15

[Statler]

the firing pin is with the slide.  Hammer stays but since the whole top end changes the pin goes too.   Convenient for the rimfire .22

pics later will make it all clear.

Do they make these for HK's?

Why not just own a 22?

Just a cheaper way to shoot a gun that you love.


This would be great for my AR.

I like the feel of the gun, but shooting it has gotten so expensive, I can't do it much anymore. I have a hard time justifying 50$ worth of ammo that lasts a few minutes.
