22 lr conversion with threaded barrel?

I was googling for a 22 lr conversion and found a listing for a kit with a threaded barrel. Does anyone know if this is the new standard for EAA?

OK, here is more info:

New EAA / Tanfoglio 22LR made in Italy conversion kit that will fit any caliber large frame EAA Witness pistols, 9mm, 10mm, 40S&W, 45ACP and 38 super. Has threaded 1/2"x28 muzzle for sound suppressor use and comes with a knurled thread protector. Complete kit with threaded barrel, slide assembly (black), recoil spring, guide rod, cleaning brush, instructions and 10 round magazine in plastic case.

OMG! And it has the good rear sights on it! I'm a little sad that the front sight isn't like the front sights on the current large frame pistols.

I haven't seen these threaded, but then again over the years the factory has come out with a lot of cool little things. I'm not up to date on their conversion kits, but this looks like a little gem. 22 conversion kits can be tricky to get working though. Be patient and try different kinds of ammo. Coated bullets with little wax and no lead = less crap in chamber = better function.

Well I ordered one so I will hopefully have to try out this weekend.

Did this unit work?

Is it picky about ammo?
