Which conversion kit?

[Kevlarman]

Looks like Advantage Arms finally has a .22 conversion kit out for the Glock 30.

Now I have to decide if I want to get the kit for the Glock, or my CZ75.

Any advice?

Tough call...

I'd get the kit - only because I wish somebody made one for my XD.

I have the .22 kit for my CZ - and I like it a lot.

A shooting session of 500 rounds of .22 and 50 rounds of 9mm improves my shooting far more than one of 200 rounds of 9mm, and it's a lot cheaper.

Oops, I meant to say it's a choice between the .22 kit for the Glock, or the .22 Kadet kit for the CZ.

Lemme put in a plug for the Kadet.

The Kadet is really more of an entire upper assembly than a conversion kit.
All steel, well made.
10 shots offhand @ ~ 7 yards will almost all go into a .45cal hole.
One of the best $200 investments I've made.

The CZ kadet kit gets my vote. Outstanding machining. Tons of fun. Super cheap to shoot.

A .22 conversion kit for a Glock 30? That's what I have been waiting for!

I would get the conversion for the gun which you plan to use the most. If one of your choices is your carry gun I would select the conversion for that gun since it would be easier and less expensive to practice with. On the other hand is both guns get equal use then I would go for the conversion unit that is better quality or lesser cost. Just my $.02 cents.

I really think it depends on what you want it for.

Do you shoot either gun competitively? If so, THAT'S the gun to get the conversion kit for.

If not, my Kadet Kit was just about as accurate as my Ruger Target Competition (slab side, long barrel). I haven't encountered a Kadet Kit, yet, that wasn't surprisingly accurate.

Yes Mac Attack, Advantage Arms makes a kit for the G30 now!

I live in Southern California, so my chances of getting a CCW are almost nil.
Honestly, I do shoot the CZ more often just because 9mm is cheaper than .45. However, the Glock is what stays near my bed for defensive purposes.

I have used the CZ in some informal steel shooting, and I really do like it. Both kits are about the same price. The CZ does seem more like a target pistol.. I dunno, it may be because of the "feel" of the gun. The Glock just screams "tactical!"

Been eyeballin' one of the 26/27 kits. Looks like it would make one fine little plinker.

Since .45 is way more expensive than 9mm, and the G30 is your bedside gun, I'd get the kit for the Glock.

Up to you which gun, but the conversion kit is a great idea. I put a marvel on my Colt and my shooting improved a LOT!! And the best thing is the improvements stick after you convert back to the normal caliber. As far as I'm concerned it's a good investment.

strambo's advice makes a lot of sense from a practical standpoint, but I'll lay in a thumbs-up for the Kadet all the same. Just posted a "long term review" on CZForum of my experiences with one:

If you're not over there already, it's a great board for all things CZ!
