GLOCK 22 .40 S&W

Description:
Guns Listing ID: 568435



Overview / role

Model: Glock 22

Caliber: .40 S&W

Role: Full-size duty/service pistol — designed to offer higher terminal energy than 9mm in a reliable, high-capacity platform.

Common users: Widely used by law enforcement agencies (historically very common), security professionals, and civilians who prefer .40 S&W in a full-size frame.

Design & operation

Action: Striker-fired, semi-automatic with Glock’s Safe Action system (three passive safeties: trigger safety, firing-pin/firing-pin block, and drop safety).

Operating system: Short-recoil, locked-breech (Browning cam-locked tilting barrel).

Frame: High-strength polymer frame with steel inserts; rugged and corrosion resistant.

Intended uses: Duty, home defense, training, range work.

Representative factory specifications

(Exact numbers vary slightly by generation and production run.)

Caliber: .40 S&W

Magazine capacity (standard OEM): 15 + 1 (factory double-stack mag)

Barrel length: 4.49 in (114 mm)

Overall length: 7.95 in (202 mm)

Height (with magazine): 5.43 in (138 mm)

Width: ~1.26 in (32 mm)

Unloaded weight: ~25–26 oz (˜710–740 g) depending on gen/finish and springs

Trigger: Glock Safe Action striker system

Generational differences (quick)

Gen2: Early models; basic features.

Gen3: Added accessory rail, thumb rests, and finger grooves on many runs.

Gen4: Modular backstraps (small/med/large), dual recoil-spring assembly, enlarged reversible mag release, more aggressive grip texture.

Gen5: Removed finger grooves, ambidextrous slide stop, Marksman Barrel (improved rifling), improved slide finish (nDLC on many runs), and refined internals. Generation affects ergonomics, handling, and some parts compatibility.

Controls & ergonomics

Grip: Full-size grip holds the 15-round .40 magazine comfortably; feel and texture depend on generation (Gen4 backstraps allow fit tuning).

Magazine release: Standard; Gen4 introduced an enlarged, reversible release for lefties.

Slide stop / takedown: Standard Glock layout; Gen5 adds ambidextrous slide stop on many models.

Balance & handling: Full-size platform manages .40 recoil better than compact frames; still snappier than 9mm.

Magazines & ammunition

Factory magazines: OEM 15-round steel mags with polymer followers; aftermarket mags available — always function-test non-OEM mags.

Ammo: Use quality factory .40 S&W loads — FMJ for range, JHP for defensive carry. Test defensive ammo for reliable feeding and acceptable POI.

Notes: .40 S&W produces snappier recoil and greater wear potential vs 9mm; maintain springs and inspect high-round-count pistols.

Performance, accuracy & handling

Accuracy: Full-size sight radius and stable platform yield good practical accuracy for defensive/duty ranges. The Gen5 Marksman Barrel tightens groups for many shooters.

Recoil & controllability: .40 has a sharper, snappier impulse than 9mm — controllable in the full frame, but requires more training for fast follow-ups.

Reliability: Glock reputation applies — robust and reliable when fed good mags and properly maintained.
