dghboy315 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Thought I would do a little show & tell today. Here is my Covid trainer. Because of ammo prices, I put together a 22lr slide for the frame of my primary gun (Shadow Systems MR920 with Holosun 507C-GR-X2). The slide is a Tactical Solutions TSG-22 built for glocks. This build should work on any glock frame that will accept the TacSol slide. The challenge was to put on a red dot. First, I sent it to C&H Precision and had numerous talks with them. Ultimately they said they were not able to cut the slide because there was not enough material. My next step was to buy a red dot mounting plate that fits into the rear dovetail so I could mount an identical 507C. Unfortunately the additional weight of the mount and Holosun caused malfunctions in the 22lr slide. So my final solution was to purchase a SIG SAUER Romeo Zero and matching Lakeline LLC glock dovetail mounting plate. This combo is much lighter because the Romeo Zero is all polymer including the view window. The trainer has run flawlessly with all high velocity ammo I've tried. The TacSol recommends only high velocity ammo for their slide. Of course, there is almost no recoil, so I can't use it for recoil control and multiple shots drills. But, it's great for practicing draws, first shots and even single shot transitions. It's also fun to just shoot matches with it. There are a bunch of my local pistol matches like IDPA and outlaw steel that now allow rimfire pistols now because ammo is so expensive. You could also shoot at regular rimfire pistol matches like Steel Challenge and get more practice with your carry style Glock. Hope this helps.

BlackLion Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I like it. I created a similar setup; Advantage Arms 22LR Conversion Kit for Glock 17/22 JP JPoint Mount Adapter for Glock #JPA-G Trijicon Red Dot Sight; 4 MOA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackLion Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Thanks, although it's not nearly as nice as your setup. I've only used Remington Golden Bullets so far. They have run flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down-range Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Tried the Strike Industries SURF mount with RMR on my G44. Unfortunately too heavy to cycle reliably. Several mags, no problem , then several more with stove pipes, FTE, spent casing stuck in chamber, slide not locking back…. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Glad to see at least a couple of you cracked this nut. I gave up on my G44 and went with a Taurus TX22 Competition. It’s not a Glock replica by any means, but it lets me practice shooting an optic with a full size gun and rimfire ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilk73 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Why not 3d print polymer optics plates for the 44? That plus an ultra light red dot would probably work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCityShooter Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I wonder if the Holosun 507K would work better. It's smaller and lighter than the 507C but shares the same reticle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister4 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 you pretty much need to run the highest vel stuff you can get with the added weight, theres a 100+ thread page on the glock site about this topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
