| Has anyone used the .22 conversion kit for the Beretta 92/M9? If so, how is the reliability, feeding, etc. My son wants a M9 in .22, but I have no experience with Beretta conversion kit. |

Beretta imported a bunch of kits two years ago, not sure if they will again. They were $350 back then I think and were called Beretta 92 Practice Kits.
Well worth every penny in my opinion. Excellent quality and reliability. I used my kit on a 80's vintage 92F in a bunch of .22LR steel plate matches and never had a jam/misfire. |

we used some on the military shooting team I was a member of for practice. They were about as reliable as any 22 autoloader- meaning you have to accept it will have an occasional unexplained malfunction once in a while. They were fairly accurate and again pretty reliable. the mags are very fragile- you need to be careful loading them and not dropping them.had one guy break one first time the kkits were delivered!
the nice thing about the beretta kit is it has a slide mounted safety and lokcs back when empty so it is better for training value when transitioning to a 9mm or 40 version. the ceiner kit does not have a safety and doesn't lock back when empty |
