Is there anything wrong with GLOCK 22?

actually the reason you don't see many 9 mm Glocks for resale is most folks who buy them discover they bought a wimpy European round and are too ashamed to sell it because then we will know they are wimpy too.

Real Americans shoot .40 or .45

there. now you know.

:evil:
 
Answer, there is nothing wrong with the Glock Model 22. When more of one model is sold new than others, and is probably shot more than others, then naturally there will be more used ones for sale.

Also, since many law enforcement agencies carry 40 cal Glocks, it stands to reason that as LE units replace weapons, used Glocks will appear on the market.
 
The reason is more than likelly, that it may have been their duty gun, or first Glock. Once you see that you can get the same thing in a smaller package. Or it's time for a Dept to switch out to a different caliber or choice of weapons, often they will opt for a different pistol. IE: neighboor fired my 26 and is new to shooting, "I just met him", he was told by the salesman that the 17 was best for him, so he bought it. if they didn't have experience they learn the hard way. Now he will buy the 26, and have 2 Glocks.

But when I checked with several of the large ammunition manufacturers, they said the No. 1 best-selling pistol caliber is (still) the century-old 9 mm Luger.

Reaper, Google will fill in whatever you have been looking at the most. Mine will fill in the "Glock safe action pistol", if you have looked at Glock 40, then that is what it will bring up, it is an intuitive search engine. It brings up first what you have been looking at the most.

This.
 
Gotta' disagree that people associate Glock with .40. Glock and 9mm are associated way more commonly and I would guess that 9mm still reigns supreme in U.S. popularity.

Not even close in the mainstream. The Glock is the first, and by far the most common .40 pistol on the planet. "Glock forty" is mentioned in numerous TV shows/movies/music/music videos/books.

You will note I said "in the country." I also should have stated "domestic sales" as many ammo manufactures have large foreign MIL/LE contracts and foreigners run through a lot of 9x19 due to their love of SMG's.
 
The .40 S&W cartridge is more expensive to shoot.

The Glock 22 kicks more than the 17 (9mm.)

Those may be the reason cause the Glock 22 is the most popular police handgun right now and the 23 is well represented to!

I only own to .40s, Glock 27 and 23.

Sorry Reaper but you're wrong on this one. It's actually not even a close comparison in popular culture. Check out http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Glock .

I know you can't stand being wrong Reaper but check out imfdb and stand up and show us you're a man and admit you too can be wrong. Even if it is a one-time occurrence!!!!

I don't know exactly what the question asked was, but the context was as to why Ruger would introduce a 9mm pistol. Ruger's bread and butter is not international or MIL/LE sales, but rather domestic commercial markets.

I have no problem with being wrong. Being wrong is how I learn. However you will note I said "mentioned" in movies and TV. Almost all real auto pistols in movies will be 9mm no matter what they are portrayed as due to them running well with readily avaliable blanks.

Look at any functional 1911 in movies and you will see they either have a comp to hide the smaller bore or you can plainly see a 9mm bore. The most well know example is the old Alvin York movie where he is shown using a Luger instead of the M1911 he really used. All of this "what is most well know" stuff is pure speculation as there are no polls being taken of the average person.

It may be regional, but all I hear about is "dat Glock fotay."
 
Reaper is absolutely right, the .40 S&W is the most popular round in the United states. It holds most of the Law Enforcement contracts in our nation. Allthough the 9mm still has a massive following.
