GLOCK G22 GEN 4 .40 S&W

Description:
Guns Listing ID: 568183



Quick overview

Model: Glock 22 Gen4

Caliber: .40 S&W

Platform/role: Full-size duty / service / home defense / range — full-size grip and sight radius, designed for reliability and service use.

Family: Same basic frame footprint as the Glock 17 family (full-size), but chambered in .40 S&W.

What “Gen4" adds (key changes vs Gen3)

Generation 4 improvements you’ll see on the G22 Gen4:

Modular backstrap system (small/medium/large) to tailor grip circumference.

Dual recoil-spring assembly (two-piece) to reduce perceived recoil and extend spring life.

Enlarged, reversible magazine release for easier operation and left-handed users.

More aggressive grip texture & slightly revised frame geometry for better purchase.

Often still has finger grooves (many Gen4 production runs retained them; Gen5 removed them).

These make the Gen4 easier to fit to different hands and slightly gentler on recoil than earlier Glocks.

Representative factory specifications (typical Gen4 G22)

(Manufacturers publish exact numbers; these are the commonly listed, representative figures.)

Caliber: .40 S&W

Magazine capacity (stock): 15 + 1 (standard OEM .40 S&W double-stack magazine)

Barrel length: 4.49 in (114 mm) — same as G17 full-size barrel length.

Overall length: 7.95 in (202 mm) (typical full-size Glock overall length)

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

Width: ~1.26–1.34 in (32–34 mm) depending on measurement reference and any sights/controls fitted

Unloaded weight: ˜25–27 oz (˜710–765 g) (varies slightly by finish and included springs) — expect it to be heavier than a 9mm G17 due to .40 parts and spring assemblies.

Sights: Factory three-dot dovetail sights (metal or polymer depending on run); many owners upgrade to night sights.

Finish / frame: Polymer frame with steel slide; slide finish varies by production (Tenifer/other to nDLC on later runs).

Accessory rail: Standard Glock accessory rail on the dust cover for lights/lasers.

Trigger: Glock Safe Action (striker-fired, three passive safeties).

Note: exact ounce/gram numbers and small dimensional differences can vary by production run. If you want the precise factory spec sheet for a specific serial/production year I can fetch the exact numbers.

Controls & ergonomics

Trigger & safeties: Glock Safe Action — consistent pre-travel and reset, no manual external safety by default.

Magazine release: Enlarged and reversible (Gen4).

Slide stop/takedown: Standard Glock layout and takedown procedure.

Grip fit: Modular backstraps allow tuning fit; finger grooves present on many Gen4 examples. Full-size grip holds 15-round magazines comfortably for most hands.

Balance & handling: Full-size platform yields good sight radius and controllability; .40 S&W impulse is snappier than 9mm but full frame helps manage it.

Magazines & ammunition

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

Ammo: Use quality factory .40 S&W loads: FMJ for practice, high-quality JHP for defensive carry. Test carry loads for reliable feeding and acceptable point-of-impact in the pistol.

Notes on .40: .40 S&W produces greater recoil impulse and more muzzle blast than 9mm in the same frame; practice and proper stance/grip mitigate this.
