PF9 22 conversion

Anyone had any experience with the PF9 22 conversion by twisted industries? Interesting, but I'd be interested in hearing experience with the package.

Negative.  Paypal charged 3/21 - that bothers me.  They should not take your money until they have it to ship.  I will report - positive or negative.  Not happy so far, not even a confirmation email from Twisted Industries, only charge from Paypal.

That's too bad. I was considering ordering, but it doesn't sound like their communication is too good.

Arrived today.  Appears well finished - reminds me off the Advantage Arms units.  Will try to test this weekend.

Did a quick 20-minute range session this afternoon to function test the TI unit.  Fired 100rds of the recommended CCI Mini-Mag 36gr HP ammo (my favorite stuff).   
 
Well, the first pull went click!   ::)   It was a light firing pin strike.
 
Fortunately, after that somewhat less-than-auspicious start, the next 99 went through with no FTF or FTE.  There were 2 failures of the slide to lock back in the first 50 rds. 
 
Some thoughts on the performance:  I followed the instructions to ride the slide forward into battery.  I have never seen that recommendation for a semi-auto pistol - usually an absolute 'no-no.'  I wonder if it caused the first-round FTF.  Regarding the lock-back issues, I may have limp-wristed the first one (this unit is a flyweight and there is virtually no recoil, so it's easy to slip into a 'soft' hold) but I made sure I held solid after that. 
 
Hope to test for accuracy soon and compare the 9mm.  I was shooting steel plates today and had no problem hitting the 5"-6" plates rapid-fire at 10 yds.  I think this unit has some real potential.
