I have several .22/centerfire pairs and practice with them quite often
I have several .22/centerfire pairs and practice with them quite often,,,
I have a S&W Model 36 snubby in .38 Special,,,
And a Model 34 snubby in .22 LR.
I firmly believe the reason I can hit with the Model 36,,,
Is because of the many cheaper rounds I've fired through the Model 34.
My routine is five cylinders with the .22,,,
Followed by one cylinder of the .38,,,
Rinse, lather, repeat as desired.
Same for the semi-auto pairs I own,,,
Five mags of .22 followed by a mag of centerfire.
I believe that to be ideal for training/practice.
I don't believe that conversion kits give you the same level of practice,,,
Because I like to switch back and forth several times a session.
I have one pistol with a rimfire conversion kit on it,,,
It almost never gets switched back to 9mm.
It's also very handy when introducing newbies to shooting,,,
Start them out with the .22 version of the handgun,,,
Then graduate them up to the centerfire pistol.
It's less confusing than dealing with two different pistols,,,
The manual of arms stays the same for each gun,,,
I believe this gives them some confidence.
So to answer your question,,,
It works well for me,,,
I advocate for it.
