Im thinking one of these might be a good way to get my girlfriend into pistol shooting. They are close to the price of a 22lr pistol but once she wants to move up to a 9mm she already knows how the gun feels and is already used to it. The other route I was thinking of is starting her on a Sig Mosquito, and if she wants to move up she can look at a Sig 9mm.

Anybody one have any experience with these caliber conversion kits? For a GLOCK maybe?
 
I don't have any experience with them as I am new to shooting. However, Arma-Coat has a great deal on now for a brand new sig 226 with a .22 conversion kit. They are just taking pre-orders for them as of now but they are supposed to come in mid summer or so. (I am in no way affiliated with them if you're wondering lol)

I put my name in for one the other day.
 
take her to the store and let her feel them in her hand, remember that the sig moquette is smaller then the full size sig, so while one might feel right to her the other might not.
cant go wrong with a g17 and a AA kit combo. again just make sure she handles them.
if your shopping in the store and your buying both the pistol and covertion kit you might be able to get a good deal.
 
Thanks guys! That Arma-Coat does look like a good deal! I was really looking for some feed back on these kits, the do look pretty cool.
As much as I want to plan her next move to a 9mm, I'll let her decide for her self. I think we'll do what I did to find a pistol, try as many as we can! We did see a little 1911 in .22lr but she needs to shoot them for herself.
 
I own a SIG 226 classic in .22LR. I bought it because my duty pistol is a SIG 226R DAK in .40 S&W. I have tried a variety of .22 ammo and they all work very well. For the price it is definitely worth getting a SIG. I am a firm believer in shooting a lot of .22 LR. It's very cheap to shoot.
 
I've seen people have all sorts if trouble with running a 22 conversion on a 1911 frame. I'd say the easier route is to go with a Ruger 22/45. Same grip angle and control layout as a 1911, and very reliable. Only challenge is the reassembly after takedown can be a bit of a challenge, but there are lots of YouTube videos to help. I started off with 1911's but now also added 3 22/45's just because the ammo is cheap to shoot, easy to mount various optics, and they aren't fussy on ammo. It's fun grouping ragged little holes to warm up with before I pull out the bigger toys.
