I've been thinking on this issue for a while.

I have a conversion kit for my Hi Power, and I have stand-alone .22lr handguns [ruger mk II .22/.45 and ruger SP101 8 shot revolver].

I find myself shooting the stand alone .22lr handguns MUCH more than the conversion kit.

Heck, I shoot the 22/45 more than the rest of my guns combined, it seems like.

So, conversion kits are good for developing muscle memory for grip angle and trigger control. They are fun. I want one for my 1911 and I may want one for my Glock: for fun.

However, a good stand alone .22lr seems to get used more.

Maybe, if I had a CZ, this might be different. I don't know.

Whatever you do, enjoy and be safe.
