I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with the Ciener .22 conversion kit for their Browning Hi Power. I've done many searches but I only seem to be stumbling upon the Ciener brand. From what i've read on these forums, people didn't really have many good things to say about Ciener. That being said, i would really like to get my hands on .22 conversion kit for my HP. Any feedback or experiences would be much appreciated. If there's another company that makes them or better yet, know of anyone in Canada that sells them whould be bonus information :D

I love my Ciener conversion kit sitting on top of a dedicated Norinco .45 1911 frame. Never a single FTF.. actually ONE FTF, it was a very cold day/session for shooting and I tried to force a FTF to happen.

Their (Ciener in Florida) customer service sucks majorly. All that aside, I love my conversion kit. I bought it from the US long before 9/11 happened. Things were a different back then.

I have no experience with the BHP conversion kit.

Hope this helps,
Barney
 
I've got a couple of BHP MkIII's... one in .40S&W and one in 9mm... wouldn't bother with a .22 kit for them... would however get a CZ Kadet or a CZ 75/85 with a factory .22 conversion unit for one of them... ;)

Sorry if this questions might seem somehow off topic.

NAA,
I've shot BHP 9mms and some have descent accuracy for 9mm. I am looking into getting a .40 cal piece. Since you have a .40 BHP, how do you find the accuracy? I am not a fan of polymer and want to get a metal frame piece. Can you do a range report with pictures if you've got time? Give us some quantative results: Grouping in inches, shooting distance in yards, free standing or from rest, etc etc.

Next question:
CZs, some people swear by them and some hate their guts. It seems that BRNO quality control nowadays is hit or miss. Would you or anyone that may have some hands on exprience give us some quantified information? CZ Kadet looks to be lots of money for a .22 but it is one of the few rimfire pistols that may feel like a real duty pistol not a target pistol-look-alike. I and many like a .22 that can simulate a real service pistol whose ammo is cheap to shoot for lots of draw type practise.
By the way, I saw a post couple of months ago from a fellow who bought a Kadet and had few pictures some with open slide (strange way of opening slide). It was supposed to be a follow up range report that never happened or I missed on that. Any info on the post, anyone?

Thanks
:)
 
Once upon a time, I was also in the market for a .22lr conversion kit for my BHP.
Didn't find one that I was pleased with after researching them so I just keep shooting the S&W 41 and bought a MKIII 22/45.
If I were starting off fresh I would have considered the "combo pack" that included a 92FS and .22lr conversion kit.

Good luck in your search....
