Key Features – Why This Conversion Kit
True Glock Training – Same Frame, Same Feel
The most significant advantage of this conversion kit is that you train on your actual glock 17 gen5 frame.
First, the kit uses your existing Glock frame. Therefore, the trigger pull, grip angle, magazine release, and slide stop are identical to your centerfire pistol .
In addition, Advantage Arms purposely designed an oversized and thick barrel to retain a similar weight feel to factory Glocks . Consequently, the handling characteristics remain consistent.
Unlike a dedicated .22lr pistol such as the glock schreckschuss (blank-firing) models or the Glock 44, this kit feels exactly like your real glock 17 gen5 because it is the same gun .
Fact: When you practice with this conversion kit, every repetition builds muscle memory that transfers directly to your defensive glock 17 gen5. This is critical for shooters who rely on their Glock for personal protection.
MOS Optics Ready – Train With Your Red Dot
The MOS-compatible optics cut allows you to mount your preferred red dot sight.
First, the slide features a recessed cut for various red dot options . Therefore, you can train with the same optic you use on your centerfire slide.
Second, the kit is compatible with Glock OEM Adapter Plates . Consequently, you can mount popular footprints including Trijicon RMR, Holosun 507C, and Leupold DeltaPoint Pro .
Third, training with your optic on the .22lr kit reinforces the same presentation and sight picture.
Note: Red dot sight is not included with the kit .
Threaded Barrel – Suppressor Ready
The 5-inch threaded barrel (1/2″ x 28 UNEF) opens up quiet training options .
First, you can attach a schalldämpfer for reduced report – perfect for backyard plinking (where legal) or extended range sessions .
Second, the kit functions perfectly with a suppressor, especially with standard velocity ammunition .
Third, the included thread protector keeps the barrel threads safe when not using a suppressor.
Fact: Running the conversion kit suppressed is a fantastic way to train without disturbing neighbors or damaging hearing .
Last Round Lock Open – Patented Feature
Unlike many .22lr conversion kits on the market, the Advantage Arms kit features a patented last round lock open design .
First, the slide locks back after the last round in the magazine has been fired. Therefore, your training replicates the same slide behavior as your centerfire pistol.
Second, this is achieved through a heat-treated steel lock open insert in the proprietary magazine .
Third, this feature is exclusive to Advantage Arms – you will not find it on competing Glock .22lr conversion kits .
10-Second Installation – No Gunsmithing Required
Installation is simple and requires no modifications to your Glock pistol .
First, remove your Glock magazine and slide as outlined in your owner’s manual.
Second, slide the Advantage Arms slide onto the frame until it engages with the slide lock.
Third, insert the conversion magazine. You are now ready to shoot .
With practice, this procedure takes less than 10 seconds . Switching back to your centerfire slide is equally fast.
Included: The kit comes in its own carrying case, including the .22lr upper, two 15-round magazines, and a magazine loading tool .

Who Is This Conversion Kit For?
For Glock 17 Gen5 Owners
If you own a glock 17 gen5 for duty, home defense, or competition, this conversion kit allows you to practice for pennies per round. The cost savings are substantial – after a few range trips, the kit pays for itself .
Pair it with your glock 17 gen5 frame – the same frame you trust for defense.
For Glock 34 Owners
The Glock 34 is a popular competition pistol. This conversion kit fits the Glock 34 Gen4/Gen5 full-size frame . Train for IPSC or club matches without burning through expensive 9mm ammunition.
For Shooters Who Own Schreckschuss Models
If you own a glock 17 gen5 schreckschuss or other glock schreckschuss models for blank-firing training, this conversion kit offers a live-fire alternative. While blank pistols are excellent for force-on-force training, live-fire practice is essential for marksmanship.
Unlike a glock 17 gen5 schreckschuss which fires blanks, this kit fires live .22lr ammunition. Make sure you have the appropriate WBK for your host frame.
For Collectors (Glock 18, Harrington & Richardson, Colt Python)
If you admire the full-auto capabilities of the glock 18 (or its pop-culture variants glock-18, glock 18 shinobu, and glock 18 cs2), this conversion kit shares the same 17/34 frame platform. While civilian ownership of a glock 18 is restricted, you can use this kit on your standard Glock 17 frame.
For collectors who own a harrington and richardson revolver or a colt python, this conversion kit adds modern training capability to your collection. The transferable skills complement any collection.
For New Shooters / Teaching
Teaching a new shooter on a 9mm can be intimidating. The .22lr conversion kit allows beginners to learn fundamentals – grip, stance, sight alignment, trigger control – without developing a flinch .
It also makes an ideal training tool for younger shooters who are not yet ready for centerfire recoil.
For Competition Shooters
The 5″ threaded barrel and MOS optics cut make this kit competition-ready for rimfire divisions. Use it for steel challenge, rimfire matches, or as a warm-up tool before switching to your centerfire Glock.
Advantage Arms vs. Glock 44 vs. Schreckschuss
| Feature | Advantage Arms Kit | Glock 44 | Glock Schreckschuss (Blank) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Host Frame | Your Glock 17/34 frame | Dedicated pistol | Your Glock frame or dedicated |
| Trigger Feel | Identical to your G17 | Different (lighter frame) | Same (if on your frame) |
| Weight | Similar to centerfire (heavy barrel) | Lighter | Similar |
| Last Round Lock Open | Yes (patented) | Yes | Varies |
| Optics Ready | Yes (MOS) | Yes (MOS on some) | No |
| Threaded Barrel | Yes (5″) | Optional | No |
| Best For | Realistic training on your defensive pistol | Dedicated plinker | Force-on-force training |
Verdict: The Advantage Arms kit is superior for shooters who want to train on their exact defensive glock 17 gen5 frame. The Glock 44 is a fine pistol, but it does not feel identical to a glock 17 gen5 . The glock schreckschuss models serve a different purpose (blank firing).
