I couldn't quite see how the relatively weak Luger striker/firing pin (compared to say a 'heavy' S&W hammer) could transmit enough energy through an adapter to reliably fire the .22 cartridge...

Ken also has an adapter to fire .177" pellets using a cartridge primer...Never heard of that before...Basement practice maybe?...
