I am wanting to get more proficient with my handgun. I currently have a 4" XD in .40. I was hoping
to get a .22 conversion for it to make practice much cheaper. What with ammo being upwards of $16-19 a box. But in my research online the one company that was planning on releasing one sometime this year has since decided to put it on hold. So only god knows when one will be released. Can onyone recommend a .22lr I could substitute for practice? I already have a Walther P22 and love to shoot it, but it is no where near the size/feel of a full size gun. I'd be looking for something that feels/handles the same as an XD with similar controls and roughly the same size and weight. |

I've already read that thread. And at the end you;ll see that Advantage Arm's has already stated that they are not making a conversion kit and have no plans to do so. Coming very soon: .22LR conversion kit for all XD/XD(M) 9mm/.40 Service Models.
A .45 model will follow within 6 to 12 months of the 9mm/.40 We are still working diligently on this product although it is taking a bit longer than we'd hoped (typical, huh?). Rest assured all of you will receive at least one email notification once production is under way. Thank you for your patience! |
| I would not hold your breath. It's been 2007 and I am going to guess that it will be a few years more and even at that we will still be left out in the cold. If it happens then great but lets be honest here, not even a hope and a prayer will speed this process on and put .22 conversion kits on store shelves. Heck, we have better chances at seeing Obama becoming a conservative... |
