I am starting this thread primarily for newer shooters who haven't yet mastered many of the aspects of handgun proficiency.
Of course the keys to mastery include proper instruction, a good practice plan, the right gun and plenty of trigger time.
I'm not going to get into which gun is the right gun, but I will say that a newer shooter will learn faster if he/she is shooting a full size pistol. And because of ammo costs, it is very helpful if there is a .22 conversion kit available for that pistol.
I don't think I have ever read a review of a field test of a conversion unit. So prospective buyers are in the dark when it comes to purchasing such a unit. Therefore, if you have a conversion unit, I'd like for you to tell us what gun it is on, who makes the unit, and how the unit performs in terms of accuracy, convenience, reliability, quality of workmanship, quality of sights, cost, and anything else you might care to add.
I have a Colt unit that has been mounted on a Gold Cup for almost forty years. Unfortunately Colt hasn't made this unit for many years. Which is a shame because mine has been perfect over the years. It is totally reliable even with standard velocity ammo. It is almost accurate enough for serious bullseye competition, but not quite. But it will do everything short of that. To top it off, it is all milled and beautifully blued with the same adjustable sight that is found on the Gold Cup. Although I have many high quality .22 pistols, the conversion unit is the only one that gets any serious trigger time.
Now please tell us about your conversion unit.
