I thought I would give a small report on the 22lr conversion kit as I am so thrilled with it. I received the 22lr conversion kit as a Christmas gift, however it was on back order for about two months. I was able to get in on an exclusive promotion and it was purchased for just short of $250. Now I have been thrilled with my P229 in .40 from the get go. I must have put at least a thousand rounds through it and never so much as a hiccup. I had been looking on training with my P229 but the ammo was becoming too pricey to use as a training/plinker.
My kit was mailed to me and came in a nice blue carrying case. The slide was covered in oil and I cleaned it that day. The slide is lighter in weight then the .40 slide, but fairly similar in appearance
case
Disassembled...that's it
My first outing I ran 100 rounds through it. The sights are adjustable and way off. I was shooting too low. The kit comes with a small sight adjustment tool and there are "screws" on the top and side for adjustment. I had two jams in the ten magazines I ran through it. Not bad for a break in period.
Sight tools
Adjustment screws
I took the P229 and kit out for a continued break in. I would run 100 to 150 rounds through it each time. I would get an occasional jam, but .22 do that. One outing I shot the P229 CK and then a Walther PPK. I noticed much more recoil in the PPK and less accuracy.
There is a difference in weight when switching from .40 slide to .22 slide. But after a while I became accustomed to the change. I would shoot 20-40 rounds of .40 then switch to the .22 and fire 100-150 rounds. What I really liked was that I noticed my speed and accuracy improving with my.40 along with my .22. It is very nice shooting with the same trigger.
Slides on just like the .40
I am now somewhere near 1500 rounds through the .22 CK. I noticed a few jams here and there, but they seem to be more related to the plastic magazine. The rounds occasionally will get stuck in the magazine. The rounds would flatten out rather then tilt. I would drop the Magazine and the jammed round would come with it. If I touched the rear of the casing it would correct. I wonder how many of my previous jams were caused by this
Overall I am thrilled with the .22lr CK and highly recommend it
I know this is not the best review but an idea of what one can expect with just my experience. Also sorry for the poor quality iphone pics
