Description
Anyone who has watched a range trip get expensive knows the math on centerfire ammo these days. This Advantage Arms conversion kit lets you run cheap .22 LR through your Glock 17 or 22 Gen 5 frame, which means longer sessions and a lot less sting on the wallet. It is a straight drop-in slide assembly paired with a dedicated magazine, and it requires zero permanent modification to your pistol. Pop off your factory slide, seat the kit, and you are shooting rimfire in about thirty seconds.
What the Advantage Arms Gen 5 Kit Brings to the Range
The slide runs a 4.49-inch barrel and comes fitted with removable Glock-style sights, so if you want to swap in your favorite aftermarket set later, the dovetails are standard. It keeps the same manual of arms as your carry gun, including a last-round hold-open and an internal firing pin safety that mirrors the full-size Glock. That carryover matters more than folks expect, since your reloads, sight picture, and trigger press all stay identical to the 9mm or .40 you already train with.
Why a .22 LR Glock 17/22 Conversion Just Makes Sense
Rimfire practice is one of the best ways to build fundamentals without flinch or recoil getting in the way, which makes this a solid pick for teaching new shooters or bringing family members up to speed. It is also just plain fun for a lazy afternoon of plinking. One thing worth knowing going in: like most .22 conversions, it tends to run best with quality high-velocity ammo, so brands like CCI or Remington Golden Bullet are a good starting point for reliable cycling.
The whole package ships in a padded range bag with a 10-round magazine and a loader, so you have everything you need to head out the door. Built around a stainless steel barrel and a black finish, it is a durable, no-drama way to shoot your Glock more often for less.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Advantage Arms kit fit my Glock 17 or 22 Gen 5?
Yes, this kit is built specifically for the Glock 17 and 22 Gen 5 frames. It uses your existing frame, trigger, and grip, so the feel matches your centerfire Glock. Just confirm you have a Gen 5 model, since Gen 3, Gen 4, and the compact Gen 5 guns use different kits.
How long does the Advantage Arms conversion kit take to install?
Installation runs about thirty seconds and requires no tools or gunsmithing. You field strip your Glock, remove the factory slide, and drop the conversion slide on in its place. When you are done shooting rimfire, you swap the original slide right back on with no permanent changes to your pistol.
What .22 LR ammo works best in this kit?
Like most rimfire conversions, this one runs most reliably with quality high-velocity ammo. Loads like CCI Mini-Mag or Remington Golden Bullet tend to cycle well and keep failures to a minimum. It is worth trying a couple of brands to see what your particular kit likes best, and keeping the slide lightly lubricated helps too.
Can I use aftermarket sights on the Advantage Arms slide?
You can. The slide comes with removable Glock-style sights set in standard dovetails, so most aftermarket Glock sights will drop right in. That makes it easy to match the sight setup to whatever you run on your everyday Glock.
