Bought a Glock 22 last Saturday. As a Security Officer, our teams have been agonizing about standardizing our weapons to make exchanging magazines easier in case of a situation where someone needed additional ammo. Since we are volunteers, everyone must supply their own arms and accoutrements. We are looking at Glock 17s and 22s. The local police currently use G22s (.40 S&W) but several have gone to G17s (9mm). Personally, I would rather have the G22 but they are leaning toward the G17. Which brings me to Saturday.
I was at the LGS (one of them) and spied a Glock 22 Gen 4 for about $400 tagged as used. It looked brand new. It turns out that it had never been fired by the previous owner. The original owner bought it, had the magazine release reversed (he was left-handed), put it back in the box, never fired it and later died. His widow put it up for sale. So I bought it after field stripping it and seeing that there was no wear inside. This weekend it gets new sights and a trip to the range. You will get a range report on this thing along with some pix. I will say, it does need a trigger tune up. The pull weight isn't too bad but the reset point is long.
