I am considering purchasing a Pardini HP in 32 but would like a 22 conversion for it as well. Are they made? Are they accurate? Is it easy to change such that I could use it for 22 and centerfire in bullseye?

The Pardini .32 is not convertible to .22. I can say that yes both are accurate. The .32 not so much beyond 25 meters.

I was under the impression that Pardini USA offerred a 32/22 conversion (but my memory might be playing up).

I saw a conversion there as well but there are no photos, description or instruction. Hence my confusion and hoping someone can help

I remember seeing it (32/22 conversion) last year in Camp Perry - essentially, it's a barrel/shroud assembly and a special slide. For 50yd bullseye they recommend the new 32 ACP version.

OK, maybe. The Pardini HP would need a barrel, bolt, recoil system and special mags. A conversion is not listed on the website. But I did see the .32ACP conversion for the HP at Camp Perry.

I've never seen a official conversion kit, but I know that it's offered here by some (few) gunsmiths. Apparently, it's no big deal to put a .22 system into the HP frame.

Anybody know who's building the .32 ACP? Official Pardini kit?

Have a look at this thread.

David, thanks for the link to that thread. Good stuff.

so if using 32 acp what kind of load are people using? jacketed or lead?

The Pardini HP 32/22 is super accurate and easy to convert. The sight is adjusted by 12 clicks up to convert from 22 to 32. With a red dot sight it takes 4 clicks up. It cost $3,500.
