    I have Sig units on my 1911 and Kimber micro 9, and a Ciener in the AR15. The 1 in 9" rifling twist in the AR is just fine for use with the 60 gr Aquila subsonic .22 ammo, and the Ar's gas system bleeds off enough of the powder gas to make the report even more quiet.

    I have always preferred dedicated firearms as opposed to conversion kits. Conversion kits always seemed to stay home when I went to the range.

    I have always preferred dedicated firearms as opposed to conversion kits. Conversion kits always seemed to stay home when I went to the range.
    While I agree that a dedicated firearm is better, I bought my CMMG conversion bolt before .22 uppers were even available and I must say that it has never let me down.
    It hates the gummy Remington Goldens however, but loves Federal bulk. The same is true for my Buckmark.

    Quality comes at a price.

    I have two dedicated .22 AR uppers from DPMS.
    One set up in an M4 configuration with an (overkill) ACOG but the M4 reticle is great for 22lr out to 200 yards.
    Other's a heavy match barrel cut and threaded to 5" with a Sparrow that is a hoot.
    They run great and eat everything including standard velocity match and subsonic stuff.
    Easily 1" at 50 yards including the 5" barrel.

    $400+ but great gear.

    the 1911 kits with a dedicated slide are good to go in my opinion. for an AR15 I prefer dedicated .22 upper. Just makes the most sense to me for wringing the absolute best performance out of the rifle for practicing.

    Advantage arms coversion kit works great on my 17 and cmmg on my ar. I shot them so much that I made my 17 a dedicated 22lr and built my own cmmg ar 22lr upper. Great time shooting.

    I've got .22 conversions for my Sig P228, P229, and also for my HK91, HK93, and MP5. I've got an AR upper specifically set up to swap over to one of my ARs, so that when in-use, it's the proper 1:16 twist rate for the .22LR. I've got the .22 conversion for my HK Model 4 pistol, and I seriously wish that someone would make/sell in the US a .22LR conversion for the HK USP/VP9/etc.

    I have a conversion kit for my G3K. Once I got the dedicated upper for the M-16 that H&K kit got parked. Matter of fact the only .22 that is still of any interest is my integrally suppressed Ruger 77/22, aka my lawn lion gun!

    I have a Colt Ace 22 conversion that's fun and a Kimber that's not so fun.

    On an unrelated note I have noticed a lot of new posts on thread started by banned members lately.
