22LR caliber conversions for handguns and rifles

I’ve dabbled with caliber conversion kits only  once and that was a very long time ago.  For some reason I have never been a big fan of the 22LR semi-auto.   I really have a low tolerance for firearms that do not function reliable and the whole “it’s cheap to shoot” thing doesn’t work for me if I have to clear malfunction every 50rds or so.  In my opinion there are safety issues if a gun constantly jams.  I don’t like having 22LR bullets laying around that have light strikes on them and I’ve had several bad experiences with both handgun and rifles not working well.   Sure there are variations in bullet manufacturers and some types of ammo will function better than others, but what a pain in the ass.

I guess ever since ammunition shot up in price a few years ago and the threats of a Political chance and a bad economy drop up the costs, many people have been spending $140-$300 on 22 caliber conversion kits for AR15 and Handguns.   We sell a lot of Glock caliber conversion kits from Advantage Arms sell like hot cakes.   There can be plenty of good quality training with these caliber conversion kits but I do suggest people do research and pay attention to gun cleaning and the types of ammunition.   If you have had good experiences with caliber conversion kits, please let us know and give us some feedback.
