    That's always been a problem with the kits going back years ago when I first bought mine.
    Apparently they're not an item anyone wants to stock a lot of

    Rum fire trainers

    So in 2020 I bought a Glock 44 in .22, a Beretta M9 in .22 (made by Beretta) and a Colt M1911 in .22 (which is marked Colt but actually made by Walther)

    I’m really happy with all three of those guns, though I only have about 500 rounds each through the M9 and the M1911.

    (I’ve been able to find .22 LR ammo for a reasonable price at Cabela’s and Gander Outdoors about once a month. Haven’t been able to find anything else since the end of June)

    I got a G44 for my birthday in September. Works well as a RF understudy to my G5 G19.
    I shoot about a hundred rounds of .22 each Saturday and fifty rounds of whatever CF handgun I choose to bring.

    Years ago that’s EXACTLY what I did. Warm up with the .22 practice gun and then finish off with 50 or 100 rnds with the big gun.

    Under present circumstances, I think I’m going back to that procedure.

    IDPA MD near here has opened Specialty Division for .22s in the next match. He says he will not use knockdown Poppers or plates, that any moving targets will be activated by pull rope. I don't know if he has a bear trap, which would be good for the purpose.

    If it helps, at one club we've used .22 for both pistol and short range carbine matches. Any steel, once they hit they move one, and have pull ropes for movers when the .22s come up. It does work, the SO/MD just needs to be aware if there people with .22s.

    Historically those are kids and its really annoying when they kick everybody's keister.

    I have the LCRx 3 inch and like most 22 revolvers that trigger is shall we say stout. However, it sure is good for training trigger control.
