I know the whole "Get both" ideology and I will get both. But would like to know which one the hive thinks should come first.

A .22lr conversion for my AR or a threaded barrel for my H&K USP Compact 45

The conversion is great for obvious ammo price reasons and training.
The barrel is more of a tacticool item but would like it before my conceal carry coarse next month and possibly my first suppressor soon after.

Either way I will have both but would appreciate opinions.

Conversion kit is $189
Barrel is $235

Since getting my .22lr kit for my AR-15, it's allowed me to shoot a 1,000 rounds almost every weekend while only spending $20.



I don't have much use for a suppressor in this state (I can own one, however it is illegal to shoot it
), so the .22 kit would be a better value for me at least.

You'll need mags for the conversion kit.  No point in ordering the threaded barrel, though, until you've worked through the suppressor paperwork.

I say save your $.

Thank you, good advice
The conversion comes with one 27 round mag.

WTF! How does that work? Is it like being able to buy or own a bong but not using it? Very strange.

Get the conversion, and extra mags.


Get the barrel when you get your suppressor.

Very strange.
From what I understand, they banned them because of poaching. And either poor wording left a loophole allowing us to own them, or they just didn't care if we did.
