Glock 22, Gen 4, .40

[h20hunter]

Anyone own one? Shoot one? Reviews online seem pretty solid. .40 as a caliber is pretty solid? Issues?

I have the 23.  Compact version of the 22.  Shots everytime, I even stopped cleaning everytime I shot.  Back in Gen 1 there was an issue of them blowing up, but I think it was all due to overpowered reloads and shooting lead through the octagon rifling and high pressure .40 rounds.  That being said I have never had an issue or heard of anyone having a problem for over twelve years now.  Other than that pull the trigger once or twice and make sure its nice.  My dad's had like a New York trigger or something stupid, feels like 20 pounds.  Mine is right at five and has the exact same fell of my 1911.

So the rifling is why you don't shoot lead...only jacketed?

owned one for 4 days youll need a after market barrel to shoot certain loads which bug's me big time. That and the grip was huge on the damn thing it was bigger then my 45's grip and was just uncomfortable to hold or shot for me. to each there own I guess

I have 2 springfield xd40's.   one has 6000 rounds through it without any hickups.  glocks don't fit my hands.  look into them and you might be surprised.

Never tried to shoot lead, too scared.  I heard that because of the barrel rifling design lead builds up quickly and can reduce the barrel diameter to the point that the round can't go down the barrel when fired.

Yeah, that is why I went with the 23.  It has a little bit smaller grip, but I also have man sized hands.  Now the Glock 21 (.45 full size) has a grip that is a Tupperware 2x4.

Currently have a XD in .45....love it...........just considering extra toys.

I had a glock 20 and it was accurate reliable,ugly and uncomfortable. I have large hands also i carry a full size kimber Eclipse or a CZ75b stainless. Just based on ergonomics i would never recommend Glock i can't say anything negative about their performance. Even the smallest glocks feel like crap to me

I feel the Glock 23 is the best carry pistol on the planet. The Glock 22 is a excellent handgun but I myself will stick with the Gen III I have handled the the Gen 4's, my outlook is. Don't fix it, if it's not broke. If it were me, I would just look for a smoking deal on a good clean used GenIII Glock 22.

Pull your skirt up and get a g20.

[h20hunter]

My skirt........I'll show you mine if you show me yours!!!

Hah......I appreciate the input as well as a good ribbing.

You'll have to meet up with the rest of us from the Snoho county area and have a pint.

Both of you girls quit arguing about whose skirt fell first they both fell and get a glock 21.   Had the 2nd generation for a long time and never had any issues with it.

[Button Nubbs]

Sounds good h20!

Screw the overhauled .40cal platform of the G20. Loose the .40 cal fetish and get a G21! 230 grains, no replacement for displacement.

I did watch a Alaska State Troopers episode not to long ago where a guy did a great job of hosing down two moose in his drive way that were attacking his dog, killed them both right there with a Glock 20. Makes me laugh when people argue about a 30-06 not being enough for a moose, when a guy stuffs two moose  in the snow right on the spot with a 10mm Glock.
