Better than nothing, I still miss my Colt 357 Python 6" but at least I have owned one and a few other pistols back in the old days.
Gaston has already told Suffolk arms to do one ! So that's glock out . There's are few videos on YouTube of the Beratta .22lr conversion kit looks good
You never know we might a lever release lbp at some point

I could never get away with the 92f's fat grip. Its tolerable when it gives you a double stack mag, but any .22 is going to be single stack so the uncomfortable grip (for me) wouldn't be worth it.

I am sad to inform all of the forum that Mike Jakes of Icon Arms was involved in a motorcycle accident in November and killed. Icon arm is being handled by a friend who is also an RFD. So at the moment no more Sig P226's

As far as I know he was requested by the family and the local Police to help probate etc. I do not know what is going to happen with the business.
I hope what Mike started will not disappear but we will have to wait and see.

Not a legal expert, but helping to provide probate sounds close to being an executor for an estate and as a result it sounds up in the air if this RFD will continue the business.
