Glock 22 conversion kit to 9mm or just buy a 17

[Sub2000]

Is it practical to buy a glock 22 just to convert it to a 9mm or should I just go buy a 17?

I have a Glock 22 with a Wolf 9mm barrel and 357sig barrel it shots both well, mater of fact I've never shot it with the factory 40cal barrel. I also have a 17. The only reason I bought the 22 and other barrels was to put it my SHTF bag. If you just want to shot 9mm I'd go with the 17.

All depends on your wants/needs, OP.

If you're already heavily invested in .40 and/or already have a G22, and only want the 9mm to plink around with - then the conversion is a much easier and less expensive way to go.

You can also convert that G22 to .357 Sig if desired. That's a real honey-pie of a round out of the full sized Glock.

It's practical, sure, and a decent investment - but if you are open to the idea, it's not a bad investment to buy the 17 either. Just depends on how much money you want to spend..

I have a G35 with a wolff 9mm conversion barrel and it works perfectly. I think its a good thing to have as part of your Glock accessories. It gives you just one more option.

Thanks that helps a lot

It just doesn't make sense that I can get a 22 gen4 for $375 used very lightly put the conversion barrel on for $125 but a 17 is $500 and you have two very popular calipers
