Has anyone used the .22LR conversion kit from Advantage Arms? Is it worth $250? Is it reliable? Thank you all in advance for your time!

I just got an LE 19-13 for my G23 and so far (only 100 rds) it is exactly what I had hoped. In ammo savings and to be able to practice with the same gun you carry, I think it's worth it, but that would depend on how much you shoot.

I have one as well, and it is excellent. Use the search feature and you will find lots of satisfied people. There are a few for sale in the gun parts section right now.

I use one and it has not had a problem with good ammo (read: not the stuff I had in the closet for 5 years that all dried out). I have about 1500 rounds through mine and only the old ammo caused stoppages. I bought the LE version because it was going to be a practice gun and I want the same sights. The target version has some gay looking built into the slide sights.

I've put about 1000 rounds through mine. I think it's great, but it is far from reliable. You need to clean it thoroughly after every trip to the range. You need to use the right ammo. Then you need to expect a jam every 50 rounds (clean with good ammo) or 20 rounds (dirty with good ammo/clean with bad ammo). Still a good buy.

Mine has been entirely reliable if you feed it ammo with enough power. A lot of the bulk packs are under powered and not consistent. Mine runs well on Federal AutoMatch.

Mine runs great -- always has. Some of the best money I have ever spent!

Yes

Yes

Yes (with ammo that it likes, very unreliable with ammo it doesn't like)

Lots of threads around here on the AA .22 LR conversion kits. (I just counted 7 on the first and second page of this forum)

Never experienced the number of jams listed above using the 550 round pack of remington ammo. I will agree with cleaning it when you can, but I don't take the slide off after every range trip. I probably clean it after every 1000 rounds or thereabouts.

Try to use the ammo they recommend. I had a large mixed lot of 22 ammo I had collected, and it sat around and the lube dried out. That gave me feeding prblems, but I don't blame the ammo, just its condition. The remaining old ammo has become fodder for an old 22 bolt used on raccoons, possums, rats and the occassional cat that gets in the garbage.

I have kits for a G26 and a G34. I've put 500 rounds through the G34 without cleaning. Only failures were fail to ignite with Golden Bullets, which is a common problem with this ammo.

Definetly worth the money.
