I'm talking about .22cal for the AR style rifles, are they any good? are they fun? Do they function properly? Are they accurate?

Thanks, Grizztribefans@sssnet.com

  I getting ahead of myself since I don't even have my FID and permits yet, but I am wondering if there are any conversion kits that converts say a glock or sig from .40 caliber down to 9mm or even down to a .22?
  
  The pistol instructor that worked with us this past weekend said that I can handle and should consider a .40, but it would be too much for my wife. I was thinking that a pistol with conversion kits would be the most economical for a pair of new shooters.
  
  The instructor had a glock 19 with a .22 conversion kit, but he forgot to bring the mag so we couldn't shoot the glock. He had me using a S&W .40 caliber revolver. It had a big kick and was double action, so the trigger pull + the recoil was cramping my finger/hand after the 100 rounds. He said that a .40 Glock would have the same recoil, but the trigger pull would be easier.
  
  The Glock 19 with the conversion might be the best way to go, but I'd like to know if there are options for the .40.
  
  Thanks.

  I have one. It's great fun amd surprisingly accurate. The faster AR twists handle the Aguila heavy bullets very well. Mine is a refurbished USAF kit with 10 round mags.
  After firing it's probably a good idea to clean out the bore because I got lightly dusted after firing the first 223 round following a 22lr session.
