conversion-kit.jpgNow that the cost and availability of ammo being what it is, I had to look into options for mitigating the problem. I found a conversion that would let my Glock 26 9mm pistol (Little Boy) or my Glock 30 .45ACP (Fat Man) shoot the diminutive rounds.

According to the website offering the kit, it allows you to shoot inexpensive .22 Long Rifle ammunition so that you can shoot longer and more often, turns your GLOCK into an ideal pistol for first time shooters and makes a great tool for teaching women and young adults how to safely shoot a pistol without the intimidation of larger calibers. The kit comes with a Slide-Lock and Internal Firing Pin Block Safety plus some cleaning gear. All this for a little under $300.

I would have to rename my pistols - ‘Fat Man’ would be ‘Beached Whale’ and ‘Little Boy’ would be ‘Tinker Bell.’ Somehow, that just seems wrong.

I guess I’ll resort to option ‘B’ - ‘BUY’ a .22 semi-auto and shoot it.
