I see the Rockies!!
Hey guys, looking for a little input.

I figured it's time to get a 22 for practice and thought I might get more of a benefit from a conversion kit.

I've been comparing the Kadet 2 and the Advantage Arms LE20/21 since I own a CZ Shadow and a Glock 20. I don't think anyone is making a kit for the M&P yet, didn't even look TBH.

So I'm hoping you folks might have some experience with either kit and could help sway my decision. I play with the CZ a lot but mastering the stock Glock trigger wouldn't be a bad thing either :)

Thanks!
 
They are both good kits but they might be hard to find.
Conversions and many semi auto .22lr's don't always run every type of ammo but the Kadet and AA conversions have a pretty good reputation for running most high velocity ammo well.

Learning the glock trigger will make you a better shooter with the CZ so I'd steer you in that direction.... :)
A G20 with a .22lr conversion would be a nice hiking pacakge in a free Country.
 
I bought my AA kit for my Gen 3 G17 off of Toto on the EE.

As long as I lube it and use CCI Minimags it runs like a sewing machine.

I like the kit as I can practice point shooting and other drills that would burn through a lot of 9mm.
 
Looks like these guys can get lot's of AA stuff including kits for the shorter glocks that come with extended barrels.... :)

I have the aa kit on a g17 works great on mini mags or the federal blue box,, they are 350 at police ordnance. mags dropped alot also for them..
 
Irunguns also carries Advantage Arms conversion kits.

Unfortunately, AA doesn't offer a kit for the M&P. The M&P 22 is the next-best option. They seem to work well enough, but are hammer-fired instead of striker-fired and do not have interchangeable grip inserts.

Kadets are spendy, but quite nice. I have a complete Kadet pistol that I got used for a good price, so it was not much more than a new kit only. In general, the conversion kits are not the best value for money, but that isn't necessarily the point. What you get for the extra cost over, say, a Ruger 22/45 is a better analogue to your centrefire pistol for better quality practice of some things at a lower ammo cost.
 
The .22 drop in kits just make your gun a total mess. I had one for my P226 and was disgusted how dirty it got after a few hundred rounds. Not to mention reliability was not 100%

Just get a dedicated .22 like a Ruger or Buckmark. That's the only way to go, and it's the same cost or less than a drop in kit.
 
I had nothing but problems with my AA kit for my Glock 17. Maybe I was doing something wrong.

The Kadet kits for the CZ are great and run well. That said, you can get a really nice .22 pistol for less...
 
Wow, I paid $400 for my Kadet kit and 2 mags a couple years ago. Runs like a champ! Close to 5000 rounds through it without a single malfunction of any kind. It isn't picky with ammo either.
