.22 cal

[jrf811]

is there a conversion kit for fnx-40 to .22?

[djv38]

Nope.

If you want a 22 cal conversion, I'd recommend the SIG P226 line.

[jrf811]

thanks i dont see the need to use 40 cal for the little rodents in the garden.

[djv38]

No, I wouldn't either. A Ruger Mk II or III or a Browning Buckmark would be a good option for that.

Garden rodent eliminator -- Ruger Mark III 22/45 Target Model in stainless steel, with Leupold Deltapoint (now sporting a Trijicon RMR with a 7 MOA amber dot):



With adjustable target sights, as it comes in the box:





With supplied optic rail mounted:



I used to have a squirrel problem...used to.

[jrf811]

if you don't mind me asking how mutch that set you back? with the deltapoint?

[Clyde]

The pistol was $299 -- $30 extra for stainless steel -- the blued version was $269, with one ten-round mag. The Deltapoint was $349 on sale.

So for under $650, you have a great target .22LR pistol that will take out any rodent, especially when they're moving....

Buy copper-plated hollow points, they feed very well, and you can get a brick of 550 Federal 36 grain at Wally World for under $19....

The 22/45 model is very good for training -- mimics the 1911 grip (hence the "45" designation).

Spare mags are under $20 each. Maintenance is super easy, gun is over-engineered and will last a lifetime.

Great little pistol, super for plinking, popping soda cans, etc.

P.S. There is one out now with a threaded barrel, for a suppressor, in case you have nosy neighbors.

RWS air rifle with optic will also do the trick... and is better if your neighbors live literally 50 feet away like mine do. Quiet.
Mine has dispatched too many squirrels to count.

But I love the Ruger... getting one soon as a range gun and trainer for my kids.

That's what an Integrally suppressed Mark III is for...

If FN made a .22 conversion kit for the FNX I would have purchased the FNX already. Instead I'm on the hunt for a CZ 75 9mm and the .22 Kadet conversion kit. I own a FNP9 and just love it and in the market for another gun. A FNX two tone is mighty tempting but I feel I would be getting pretty much the same gun I already have in the FNP. Besides the .22 conversion kit available for the CZ, accessories are abundant in grips, holsters etc.
something all of us FN owners have found frustratingly lacking in the FNP/X line

The cat must be out of the bag on the Cz's because they are damn hard to find in the configuration I'm looking for. Anyone know of a CZ75 in two tone no decocker and ambi safety I'm all ears!
