First the big question, do you want this instead of a stand alone 22 pistol? The short answer is no, you're goning to want a complete pistol. The advantage arms conversion kit with 2 mags is about 300, for 100 more you can get a decent Berreta, Ruger or Taurus 22 pistol.
But the advantage arms 22 conversion gives you something you will not get with a stand alone pistol: your own glock lower and trigger. The trigger control/ grip experience will be identical to your actual glock 19. This gives you valuable training experience you won't get with a 22 target pistol. Example: my Berreta 92/ 22 is definitely a better pistol than a converted glock, but the trigger pull is very short and feels nothing like my actual defensive sidearms. Meanwhile the advantage arms conversion is in every way identical to my actual glock except has no recoil since it's a 22.
The good: one of the best training tools you can get for your glock 19. You can double the number of shots you make at the range for not much more money. I'm paying 5 to 6 times more for 9mm than I am for 22 and that's getting worse not better. I routinely see 500 round boxes of 22 for about 8 cents a round and 9mm is actually starting to go back up with a "street price" of about 50 cents a round.
The bad: won't shoot cheap 22, especially during the 1st couple hundred round break in period. The worst Walmart ammo I can find will work ok in my stand alone 22, but won't cycle in the advantage arms. The company recommends high vel...
