| I had one for a while and enjoyed it, but moved it on to fund my Volquartsen Scorpion and never looked back. If you see high demand, I might suggest jumping on it and finding a purpose-made .22.

| I had a Sig conversion kit for the P220 I had a long time ago. It never worked very well. It wasn't very accurate and required so much oil to function reliably that it flung the stuff everywhere. I got rid of it and never regretted doing so.
That said, give yours a try. If it works for you then keep it. |

| The problem I have with conversion kits is that they cost almost as much as a dedicated .22 like a Browning buckmark. The other problem is they make the gun you put them on, dirtier than hell.....I don't mind my buckmark getting and being dirtier than hell from .22 ammo, but I certainly don't want to detail clean that gunk out of a centerfire gun. |

| I have one for my 220. It's really nice, but I find it can be picky when it comes to ammo. It's not a fan of ordinary lighter loads.

My only complaint about it is cleaning it. Love mine.

I wanted to gather some thoughts on whether these .22 kits are worth playing with. I have a P226ST to use it on, and tons of .22, but will it be worth shooting vs. 9mm? I'd appreciate any practical experience on whether it's fun, reliable, practical etc enough to keep vs. selling and funding another gun.
Thanks!
I have one on my 226 a little fussy about ammo, prefers cci minis federal match grade works ok have to keep it clean use oil no grease. i have many rounds of .22's happy with it btw ive seen them new on ebay for up to 700 dollars
