I just received my .22 LR conversion kit from Cabela's and now I can't sleep. I'm going to try and hit the range tomorrow and I'll post more info. Came with a plastic hard case (Glock-style) and a 10 round polymer mag. I was hoping for the 15 round mag but I'm happy enough to get the package! The barrel is the standard, non-threaded type.
It is not cheap -- $349 with shipping, but I will make up for it eventually. If I'm not round dumping entire mags to get more trigger time, I can definitely picture myself doing 2500 or so draw strokes over time.
Pics and more details to come but some other info off the bat:
-- The slide weights about 12.5 ounces. Using the same scale, the stock Glock slide weighs about 17 ounces.
-- An insert says the recommended ammunition are CCI Blazers, CCI Mini-Mag HV, and Federal AutoMatch.
-- "For best results with your TSG-22 .22LR conversion use high velocity ammunition with a 40 grain round nose bullet. We do not recommend the use of hypervelocity ammunition"
-- Cleaning and lubing the kit is recommended after each use, but this requires removing two screws with a 1/16" Allen wrench. Not as straightforward as I'd hoped. Guess I'll go for plated bullets...
