9mm and .22 pistol

I would have to agree with Canuck44 about the CZ85C and the Kadet kit. I used to have an Advantage Arms kit for my G17 and sold it as soon as I got the 85C/Kadet combo (just the AA kit, still love the G17). The Kadet kit is steel, so the pistol feels the same as with the 9mm top end, except for recoil obviously. The AA kit has an aluminum slide, so combined with the plastic Glock frame, it always felt like a toy. Shot very well with ammo it liked, though. But then so does the Kadet, and it just feels much better to me.

I did the exact opposite, but likewise I cannot say anything bad about the CZ, and the Kadet kit. I found it to be extremely accurate. I hated the strange slide though, it is like the model S&W 41, and hard to rack for me. That was my only complaint but it also made it woek with every .22lr round I put in it so it has it's benefits. The AA kit takes a high velocity .22lr to function the slide reliably.
I agree...get 2 dedicated HG's. A 9mm(G17?) that's going to make you happy and a 22lr(Ruger MKiii?) for your dad.
I used to own an AA kit for my G17 so my son could shoot it cheap. Sold the kit and picked up a Sig 1911-22 and he loves it! If I were looking for a 22lr semi(for myself) it would be a Ruger MKii/iii. Personally, when I'm in the mood to shoot 22lr I enjoy shooting my SA Bearcat. It's had to explain but I just love that little revolver

If you like the M&P pistols, why not get a 22M&P and later on a second pistol in 9mm? This would be no more expensive [roughly] than a Sig pistol and conversion kit combo.
This thread has reminded me of something I've always wondered -- why is it that whenever .22 pistols are mentioned, almost everyone mentions the Ruger Mark II or Mark III but NO-ONE ever says how hard they are to disassemble for cleaning?
(No, I have never fired one but I have fired Brownings and High Standards and love them.)

They're a challenge the first time you do it, but after that, it's not that big a deal. Why? Because you so rarely need to tear it completely down: they just keep running and eating whatever you feed them. Most cleaning can be done without removing a thing.
Because, they aren't that hard to do if you can follow simple directions.
I just gotta say, a 9mm with .22 conversion = 1 gun. 9mm & .22 pistol = 2 guns. 2 guns are better.
I recently bought a GSG 1911 that I can't wait to pick up and shoot. I have a couple 9mm's and trust me, when you're at the range, two guns are always better.

Inter-provincial LT ATT would most likely require club memberships in both provinces and maybe even a competition card/membership. As much as we don't like the paperwork the CFO has to clear it, but SK and AB CFOs have to be some of the most level headed.
I have AB,BC,SK, MB, YK and the NWT on mine. For those of us in BC it is there for the asking. Hold a IDPA or IPSC membership and you are good to go. Covers trips to the US Border and to any gunsmith. If you run into a road block ask for their supervisor.
Take Care
