Please post your experiences with .22 LR conversions for hte Glock pistols. I'm interested to hear about how well they have functioned with the ammo specified by the manufacturer, as well as the accuracy you've gotten. Thanks. |

I only have experiance with my AA .22lr kit, but I have been impressed so far. AA says to not use federal ammo, and they are right, it eats almost anything except federal bulk pack. It is more accurate than the 9mm G34 slide it replaced, and is simple and easy to clean. The only thing that I dont like is that AA does not recomend dry firing except to take the slide off. |
| Just bought a conversion for my G21 and the instructions say to use Remington Golden Bullets or CCI Mini Mags. I have used some CCI Stingers because the kit is brand new and occasionally didn't cycle with mini mags. Anyone have any luck with any cheaper .22 ammo other than what they recommend ?? |
The only account I ever heard of with a Ciener, was a review posted by some website comparing the two. The Ciener has a rougher overall finish, and customer service is from Ciener.  The finish may not bother you, and the rough work can/will break in. If he made one for the G36, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one, but I can make replacement parts so CS isn't really needed here... But it would be nice to have. I think the extra cost of the AA is worth it, but the difference may not be enough to make it worth it to you. You will either have to count your shots, or hope the firing pin/striker doesn't break. |
Do you dry fire with the Glock slide on. I think the only disadvantage of AA kits are 10 round only mags, while Ceiner does high-cap mags. I wish a company like Black Dog would make a high-cap for an AA kit. |

I had a Ciener 1911 conversion and lost the barrel lug at about a year. Unfortunately, I lost the receipt and Ciener is hard ass about their 1 year warantee. Fortunately, my dealer is a not meticulous guy and just wrote me another receipt. It was quite accurate. But I have since replaced it with a Kimber conversion that has much better sights. When I was shopping for a Glock conversion, everyone said that Ciener Glock conversions were not reliable and I went to Advantage. It is a nice kit and reliable with full power ammo. It like Federal Automatch. |
| I haven't got to shoot my AA much (one range trip 30 or 40 rounds it was chilly--For you folks in warm states here chilly is between 10-30 before wind chill) IIRC the paperwork in my box said no Federal, PMC(may have only been one type) and no Rem thunderbolts. Fed did not work rem bulk pack (non tb)did. Am going to the range monday with a selection of 22lr will try to post aar |
I have both the AA and the Ciener for the Glock 23. Would someone in Los Angeles please contact me and purchase the Ciener and it has spare magazines. Thank you. [email protected]

| I have one of the original Advantage Arms kits from when they first hit the market. They have changed a few things over the years, mostly for the better. Mine will only run with Remington Bulk pack ammo or CCI stingers. I run mine suppressed with an Advanced Armament silencer and it is a lot of fun. |
