Kona, thanks for the info and do not take offense at what I am about to spout.
I had a similar "kit" for a 1911. I thought that it was cute and a good idea, at first, for practice and saving money. I found, and this only applies to me YMMV, that it did nothing for me and how I shoot.
I am not a pistolero and thus do not target shoot. I solely practice for the eventuality that I will need it to defend myself and/or family. Anyhow, I found that it did nothing for shot recovery and adjustment for second and other follow-up shots. The action and reaction just didn't do it for me. Again, this is just for me and my use. Yes, I sold it, well actually traded it for another 1911 that needed some work..................
I could see where it would work relatively well for target shooters that just want to practice grip/hold and trigger work.........
especially going from a 9mm to 22 cal....

actually, it only brings it more in-line with the Ciener kits that are made for price.
Intriguing though.
We use a ceiner 22 rimfire adapter on the M16's at guards. Jam alot, but worth the trigger time when it let's us practice indoors when we would otherwise have to travel 2 hours to shoot one way.

They ahve great utility for introducing new shooters to live fire. I have a fair number of younger people that take a familiarity class. It is much easier for them to have fun with a "real gun" that shoots a .22 than with a typical target .22. My CZ 75 Kadet is one of the most popular in my intro classes; yet, I have a real hard time trying to get them to appreciate a typical target .22.

Unfortunately, it probably won't fit my Taurus PT-99!

Jon and Paul, interesting points and thanks for pointing them out. I was just thinking about it from my personal use and perspective and didn't think about broader uses. Wish I would have know that, as I would have donated it to either of you for your uses.....................

It's a matter of the tool fitting the intended fix.
I've shot a very nice Beretta 96 with the conversion and it's fun. Big gun full grip, same trigger / grip feel every time. but much cheaper to shoot and less noise / recoil. I think they're a great way to work over the basics, get some confidence up, and then transition. In my case, I can go .22lr to 9mm to .40 S&W all on the same platform.
It's GREAT for new shooters but also fun for plinking. The price is steep but the quality is good. A dedicated .22 LR is nice but this way you can work one gun with multiple calibers.
For defensive pistol use after introduction ... maybe not as useful. It might be ok for sight, slack, press drills though. You could also use it to work through some flinch issues and a bit of muscle memory.
