I disagree. I think that the M&P22 is a fine gun but it does not match up to a .22 conversion when it comes to low cost practice. A conversion kit would allow you to use your 9mm/40 M&P trigger system versus the dissimilar trigger system of the M&P22. For now the M&P22 is a good option, but I still expect to see (and own) a .22 conversion in the near future.

I am pretty sure that blurb about Apex Tactical Specialties came from the business itself. And so far everything else they said was upcoming has eventually made it to market. Fingers crossed.
