I am looking for a conversion for my Glock 17. What units are the most reliable?

+1, and then expect to look for another frame to make it a dedicated .22

I want to build one off of a Lone Wolf Compact Timberwolf frame (G19 size) for my kids to play with.

If they're anything like the full size frame do yourself a favor and just buy a Glock frame.

After returning 2 LW frames I can tell you first hand they're garbage.

I will second that on the Advantage Arms. Just bought one last week. After a few hiccups the first 2 mags, it ran like a champ. The most fun I have had at the range in a long time.

I just picked up a gen3 G22 today, with the intent of it being a dedicated host for an Advantage Arms conversion kit. I could have gone with another G17, but G22's are cheaper and I didn't have a .40 in the safe so I will killed two birds with one stone.

The LW frames are almost double what the Glock frames are going for on gunbroker.  I picked mine up off GB, and didn't look back.

I like my Tactical Solutions kit. I had an Advantage Arms kit but didn't like how it was put together. The TacSol kit is much easier to take apart and clean, and can come with a threaded barrel ready for a suppressor. The AA kit barrel is too thin so even when you spend the extra $95 for a threaded barrel you have to use an adapter. Both kits can be ammo finicky. My TacSol won't run worth a damn on anything made by Winchester but is a sewing machine with Remington Thunderbolts. My AA kit refused to work 100% with bare lead bullets but ran fine with anything that was plated/coated.

I found a like new Glock 17 frame on GB for a very good price which I bought and mated to my AA Glock 17/22/31 target Kit (adjustable sight).  I don't even know how many tens of thousand 22's that kit has digested.  I have taught numerous people to shoot with that pistol and I rarely go shooting that it doesn't go along.

The TacSol kit also makes it still feel like a Glock since it's steel.  The lightweight AA kit makes it feel like a toy which I didn't like.  I don't have enough rounds through my TacSol kit to comment on reliability yet, but it's a lot more accurate than the AA kit that I used to have.

Unless conversion kits dropped in proce dont they cost the same as a new gun?

Not cheap but worth the cost for their intended purpose. If you just want a 22 pistol buy a Ruger Mk*. If you want to mimic your carry/duty/match firearm for proficiency sake, conversion kits make sense.
