    I have never heard of a .22 conversion for this gun.

    I have not heard of one for the khar. But I have heard in most cases for Handguns they are made for, they usually dont work well. That is not from personal experience. But I have done some reading on the matter. I have a friend who automatically begans to curse if you bring the matter up, his experience was not pleasant.

    hope this helps,

    Good Luck.

    I find myself disagreeing with rugster again. While I agree there is no conversion for the Kahr non-1911 pattern pistols, in my opinion, conversion kits are not generally so unreliable.

    The Colt-brand conversion kits for M1911-pattern pistols are very reliable. I have fired thousands of rounds with conversion kits on M1911-pattern kits. The currently-available Ciener kits for the M1911-pattern pistols are also very reliable. (They are the same as the Ace II kit Colt sold for a while.) Ciener makes kits for other handguns as well, and they are also reliable. The only other conversion kits for handguns of which I am aware are those EAA sells for the Witness pistols. I have no experience with those kits, but I suspect they are similar to the Ciener kits, and should be equally reliable. All of these kits are magazine sensitive, and a damaged or out-of-spec magazines would create unreliable operation.
