    Default Best 22 conversion kits for your centerfire pistols!

    As ammo costs run away, I'm looking to keep shooting my pistols.

    I have a Beretta 92fs and cz75d pcr that i know both have factory conversion kits. I know the Beretta also has 3rd party kits.

    The cz kit apparently doesn't sit quite right on the pcr frame or the magazines hang out. Something like that. So i probably wouldn't go for that.

    But maybe the Beretta kit is worth looking into?

    What about a 1911 kit for my s&w pro 9mm? Does anybody know if there conversion kits work with the 9mm series 80 kind of frames?

    I had a Kimber conversion for my Kimber .45 that worked flawlessly, not sure if it would work with a 9mm ? My Glock has an Advantage Arms conversion that works well with High powered .22 ... Not sure if that helps.

    Some of the conversion kits cost as much as an entire gun!

    I looked at em, but every time wound up just buying a new gun.

    Mine worked excellent too especially with CCI Minimags. Unfortunately I sold it many years ago.

    PS - I would not recommend a Taurus anything to my worst enemy.

    I have two .22 conversion kits for my 1911s. One is by Marvel; the other is by Nelson. They are both high quality and deliver match grade accuracy.

    I've been looking at the m9 22. I'll have to handle one in person.

    I sold my 1911 to a friend last night so i think my options are for my cz compact, my Beretta 92, or for a dedicated pistol.

    I have an original Colt .22 conversion kit on my Ser.70 GM.

    I'd like to pick up a CZ .22 conversion kit for my CZ-75B.

    When people say "best" it means different things to different people. It all boils down to how much you want to spend. I mean the Marvel 1911 22LR conversions are the best for the 1911, but they are not budget friendly. At that point, some would just buy an entire pistol instead of dumping that much money on a 22LR slide.
