9mm Pistol model with 22LR kits

As you may have gathered already, from the numerous answers on here, you can get a .22 conversion for just about every popular centre fire pistol. As has also been mentioned - and I agree with - for close to the same $, you can buy a dedicated .22 pistol. If you can find a nice used Browning Nomad, or Challenger, they are well suited to small hands (that don't have a lot of strength). When my daughters were younger (6-7 years old) my Nomad was their favourite.
 
Beretta makes a .22 conversion for their 92FS models. The downside is the conversion costs about the same as the original firearm and magazines are scarce. On the up side, it works well and also works on the 96A1.

If I was going to suggest a pistol for someone to shoot with their feet, I think I'd probably consider single-stack platforms first.
 
Here’s is my daughter firing a friends 1911 22

CZ would be best quality choice now.

A word of caution on the CZ kadet kit. I put the kadet II kit on an sp-01 and had tons of failures to feed and eject. Both the kit and the sp-01 were brand new so I sent them in under warranty to wolverine. OVER 14 MONTHS LATER they still didn't have the parts from CZ (extractor spring and extractor). Wolverine eventually stepped up and offered me the sp-01 specific kit, rather than the kadet II kit, taking the hit themselves. I tried holding out on the parts as there weren't many reviews on the sp-01 specific kit but at the 14 month point I caved and had wolverine install and send me the sp-01. Just arrived last week.

I own many CZ guns, all shoot great, this was my first issue. I was fine with that, life isn't perfect, but when you can't get simple parts under warranty...after 14 months! Then I start second guessing my purchases. So just a word of caution, great guns, horrible support.

For clarity, wolverine was great, CZ dropped the ball and if it wasn't for wolverine finding me an alternate solution I'd still be waiting on a simple parts replacement.
 
If it matters, I bought the sig p226 22lr, with the intention of getting a caliber x-change kit in 9mm. So far, it has been great. All the different CCI ammo 36g to 40g (target, varmint, hollow point, Velositer) have fed reliably, with one fte/ftf out of 800+ rounds. My issue is sourcing the exchange kit. No one has them.

The first mistake was putting a Kadet II upper kit on a SP-01 when there is a separate specific SP-01 upper kit. Unless when you bought it the SP-01 kit was not made/available.
Wolverine is quite awesome when it comes to customer service and "stepping up to the plate".
Good outcome, even though very delayed.
