Andyd Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 For some reason I love rimfire conversions and want to share a few of them with you here. First is a Bienlein .22 l.r. conversion for revolvers, it comes with three barrel inserts that can be used in two to three, four inch, and six inch barrels. Next is an older Colt conversation with the floating chamber that fortifies recoil. While not the most accurate conversion, mine is reliable and can land all shots in the black at 25 yards. The third one is a Kurt Peters Stahl unit for the Swiss P210. It is as accuarate as my Haemmerli 208. Somewhere I also have conversation shells for 12 gauge for .38 Special and .22 l.r. Show us your rimfire conversions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G26S239 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I don't have any but I have considered kits for 1911 and Glock 19. If I do get a 1911 one it will probably be for my Ultra CDP II rather than full size. That revolver kit you have is pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I have the Ciener .22 caliber conversion kit for my old Kimber Custom II Stainless. it came with two magazines. It shoots beautifully and no failures over the years. I don't shoot it now since I went to a 5.5 inch target pistol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citra47 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Years ago I had a Colt .22 LR conversion kit for a 1911 .45 ACP. It was pretty accurate and you did feel the recoil, but not as much as the .45 created. Both units were sold years ago - wish I still had them. I currently have a Colt .22 conversion kit for an AR 5.56 and a few spare mags. Works very well and fun to shoot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyd Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 I had bought an Advantage Arms .22 conversion for a Glock 30 about twelve years ago that was less accurate than the gun in .45 ACP with my reloads and was 65% reliable at best. While all other reports about AA are positive, mine just wasn't great. Here is the 12 gauge to .22 rimfire conversion. It is an aluminium body with a steel barrel offset inside. I have the same conversion cartridge in 12g to .38 Special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverRidge01 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 also have the Ciener 22 platinum kit for my Taurus PT 1911 has adjustable sights and runs flawlessly with all 22 brands of ammo, interesting previous post with the barrel inserts, ( also considered a conversions ) I own a Taurus judge .45 colt .410 and have acquired barrel inserts for it in .22, 17 HMR, .22 magnum, .380 many others available makes the handgun a very versatile firearm, take to the range and have many options to bang away with. The rifled inserts are fairly accurate as the smooth bore are just fun to shoot .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Soldier Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I like the 1911 Rimfire Conversions. Over the years I have acquired 4 of these. My favorite is the Colt Service Ace "U" series 1938. It is mounted on a 1911 WWII Ithaca frame. These uppers have the floating chamber creating about a 9MM recoil firing CCI Stingers. The Stingers can be fired hundreds of times without the chamber freezing up with lead. No, these are not target pistols, but they were to replicate the 1911 .45ACP for training GIs during 3 wars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled it and all I got back was this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyd Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 When you look at the barrel right underneath the Colt, you can see that there is a conical device. The conversion barrel is inserted from the front, then the conical part that is fitted to the forcing cone is screwed on. Now the screw in front is tightened. It works pretty well and is more accurate than the Colt conversion which only works well with copper plated HV ammo. Loading and unloading the cartridges sucks, though.

Moshe Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Several months ago, I picked up an older stainless Ruger revolver in .22lr, which I have tons of. I thought it would be a good training tool, instead of having to order tons of .38/.357 for the kids to eat through, while working on the hold and function of a revolver.
