Glock 19...great as-is 9mm..just get advantage arms .22 conversion kit and you've got the best of both worlds

P226 classic. Comes in 22lr and you get the 9mm conversion

you just beat me to it

Glock 19 or 17

 

ETA: Make sure you get the Advantage Arms (AA) .22 conversion kit. The others out there aren't as reliable.

i would say CZ75B with a Kadet 22 conversion, but the conversion kits are REALLY difficult to get your hands on...

you just beat me to it

Yeah I see that. I love my p226

+1 Beretta also has them in stock

 

You also have the entire line of 92's to choose from.

He could also buy one of the six sig 1911's offered in their deal and get the free Sig 1911-22, a bit more expensive but well worth it... also requires 2 p2p's

Do the sigs with .22 conversion shoot as well as a dedicated .22? What is the down side?

+1 Sig p226

Buy the sig p226 classic in 22LR then buy the 9mm kit for it. You will save a couple of hundred doing it this way.

It's a great gun. You can also buy a 40 cal kit for it. Shoots perfect in all cals breaks down easy to clean and can hold the NJ legal limit as well as more if you decide to move to a free state. Tons of add on's for it .Light rail etc.

 

I bought the Sig p226 elite in 9mm and the .22 sig caliber exchange kit. I've not has any issues with the gun or conversion kit. The only downside is the cost. It's cheaper to get the p226 classic in 22 and purchase the exchange kit for the other caliber. Doing what I did was about 100 more expensive. Initially finding additional 22 mags were hard since most stores don't stock them. Midway recently had them in stock so if you decide on the Sig check them out and place an order.

 

As for reliability and function, Sig recommends that you use high velocity rounds. I put 500 mini mags through mine (before SH tragedy) and it functions fine. I'll get the occasional FTE when I use standard rounds but I think that's more the ammo and not the gun.

Not in stock now. Enter your Email address and they will contact you when available. Act immediately as they usually only last a couple of days max.

+++ P226     But as mentioned buy it in the 22 platform then add an x-change kit. About 200.00 savings compared to centerfire platform the adding .22 kit

Forget all the above posts. Buy an EAA Witness. It's cheaper than anything mentioned and you can swap between any caliber.

I second purchasing the SIG in classic .22.  I did this with my P229, and then purchased a .357 SIG conversion.  No downside over a traditional 229/226.  I had some old, crappy, lo-velocity rounds a friend said he found in his garage, and they actually performed better in my SIG conversion than in my Ruger 10/22.  I would recommend mini-mags however.

This. Have your friend check out EAA's website and read up a little. You purchase one gun (permit required......lets say u buy the 9mm) and can then, without any additional permits, purchse conversion kits it 22, 38 Super, 357 Sig and 45.

 

I shot the 9mm with the 22 concersion kit. Shot nearly flawlessy as I recall. I shot the all steel Witness Elite but I've read their poly guns are great as well.

 

I'm purchasing one when my permits come in.

 

Edit - I knew I left a concersion kit out.......10mm. Make sure u read up before purchasing because I think the only ones that accept all the conversion kits are the "large frame" guns.

 

Double Edit - The EAA Witness is based on the CZ 75 platform. Just Google that and read the reviews. Excellent gun/platform.

 

Triple Edit - Why the heck don't I have one of these yet!!!??

 

Quadruple Edit - From EAA's website:
