    .22 conversion units for Glock pistols

    I have a Ciener converter on a G19 frame and an Advantage Arms .22 converter on a G22 frame. (I prefer to have conversion units on their own dedicated frame but that isn't always possible) To work reliably they need .22s that run HOT. At least 1230 fps. And in my experience plated bullets...

    Converting a Glock 35 to 9mm

    I just got a Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrel for my new Glock 35 in .40 cal. I did it because 9mm ammo is cheaper than .40 cal ammo. I have no plans to use the 9mm barrel for defensive use. I also bought a couple of G17 magazines to use with the 9mm barrel. On my first trip to the...
