I know nothing about the TacSol kit, but my AA kit has been 100% reliable.

You may also check out Ciener's, that is one that I have been looking at. At $199 it seems to be the most reasonable one around and has good reviews on it. Google CIENER's CONVERSIONS....

I bought an Advantage Arms G21 kit from the EE here.
After a short learning curve the thing runs like a top.
I just ordered some spare mags for it too.
I'd recommend that brand.

Make sure you can secure a bunch of CCI high velocity ammo before you buy.

Advantage. Love mine.
Not necessary. My Advantage Arms kit loves bulk Remington Golden Bullet. It absolutely HATES Federal bulk though. Not 100% reliable but it’s a rimfire and good enough for me. Mostly I get stuck cases when it gets really dirty after 150 or so rounds. When it starts malfunctioning I just run a bore snake through it and I am back in action.
My vote goes to the Advantage Arms. My only gripe is that the spare mags are pricy.

I have both, one for a G17 and one for a G19. The main difference is the AA slide is aluminum, while TacSol is steel. I like the TacSol better, it feels and balances more like a "real" Glock.
They have been equally reliable. I have the occasional FTF with both, they tend to be ammo sensitive and have their own preferences.
I would not go with a Ciener. While they generally make good products, their customer service is legendary for being awful-to-nonexistant should you have an issue.

Advantage Arms as well for my Glock 35. Mine really likes the Remington Golden Bullet followed by the CCI MiniMags. Seems OK with the Winchester M22 but it definitely hates the Federal bulk. I've had one stuck case so far but that didn't happen until I hit 4000 rounds. After I cleaned it and 2000 rounds later, it's still going strong.

Nope, just like an AR upper they get mailed to your front door. The "Lower" aka also known as the part with the trigger is considered the Gun.

No.
You can have the conversion kit or even a factory Glock slide or barrel mailed right to your door.

I bought one of the originals back in 2000. Mine still only likes remmy golden bullets. It will keep most of the remmy ammo subsonic when I run it with my can. It's kind of fun, but it feel like the aluminum slide and plastic frame are too light.

While you are googling Ciener, look into his BBB rating, customer service complaints, and arrest record.
Then go buy an Advantage arms or Tacsol.
