I do the bulk of my practice with .22lr to keep costs down. I'm on my second Ruger SR22. The first one sheered the rim off a round and left a ring of brass in the barrel a little after 10k rounds. Sent it to Ruger and they replaced the whole gun. Second gun was fine for about 6k rounds when I started getting light strikes with a clean gun and tons of different kinds of ammo. Sent that one to Ruger and they replaced some springs and sent it back. It was good for a while, but after about another 5k rounds I'm getting the light strikes again and it needs to go back to Ruger. I suspect they'll replace the springs again.
I'm looking to add another .22 into the rotation for practice and figured since I carry a G19, either a g44 or a conversion kit from Advantage Arms would be a good option. My question for the brain trust here is there a better option between the two? A kit is cheaper and I have an extra frame to accommodate it, but if a g44 is a better option, I don't mind spending the extra money.
