so, evidently it's easy to buy a centerfire handgun in 9/40/45/whatever and then buy a conversion to shoot the cheap 22LR. only snag is the price - handgun PLUS conversion. spend extra money to save money. 
is there a handgun that starts as a 22LR and can be converted UP to 9/40/45 later on (keeping the same frame / grip / etc)?
