“Converted” Model 3913 .22LR

[Exchipy]

Too bad the grip is not long enough for the magazine (and a damned little black bug landed on the right grip for the photo). This is the best arrangement I’ve tried with the Pachmayr/Peters Stahl .22LR Target Conversion, so far. Previously, a Model 3906 grip was found to be too long for the magazine, which was about an eighth inch short of locking into place. And, a Model 39-2 just couldn’t be coaxed into to working with it. Maybe I’ll need to try a Model 52, or just settle for the way it is now.

I like it a lot, even with the "extended" magazine, the Peter's Stahl looks like it grew there!

Perhaps you could locate a Pachmayr mag sleeve and modify for the Peters Stahl magazine like this - https://smith-wessonforum.com/threads/pachmayr-mag-sleeves-for-kahr-mk9-on-3913.560444/

I'm a big fan of .22LR conversions and have several. I never knew that anybody made one for S&Ws. Cool!

Thanks for the tip. I was already starting to think about something like that, just not very hard yet. Your idea deserves some prompt action.

As am I. My Marvel conversion for 1911 performs exceptionally well (as guaranteed by the maker), when shot over sand bags:




But, I suspect this manufacturer’s test group was shot with my conversion mounted on/in some sort of machine rest.

That conversion kit is way cool. Did you pick it up while in Europe?
