GLOCK 17 9mm VS. GLOCK 22 40 Caliber

[sarduy]

get a glock-17 because ammo is cheaper. and if you want a .40 get a sigma, they are $250 after mail rebate.

Sigmas are the first glock clones and I heard they are junk.

To the mods...

I am a little shocked that this garbage continues to flow for 3 pages now.

What gives?
Is anybody out there?

 

[Autolycus]

The horror, the horror.

Let the young man decide what he should do on his own. I would suggest saving up for the SOCOM as I suspect someone of his maturity level will not be able to do that.

Good luck with that 15guns.

"40s are able to take out targets easier at longer ranges than 9mm. I've used them in video games." - 15guns

This might be the greatest thing I've ever read on this board.

The compact g19 and g23 are alot more comfortable to wear at home. Even for home defense, having something that'll fit into a holster nicely is a good thing.

Get the G23. I used it to shoot my video game console. 9mm from my g19 just bounced off.

Personally I'd get the Glock 22 because I want another 40 S&W and I like the fact that I can purchase another barrel for it in .357 Sig.

I wonder if OP went back to playing his video games. He should have asked his buddies there what gun to get.

 

[Strahley]

I was going to offer my opinion, but seeing as you are making choices based off video games, I'm headed to another thread

Forget the video games and get real about firearms. Then get back to us.

H&K USP was the best pistol I owned in real life out of 3 major brands I've owned in real life.

What about the minor brands you've owned?




And the US military does not issue Glock pistols in any capacity, and I am not talking about super-secret-double-sneaky units, I am talking about the military that everyone else is in. Besides the double-secret guys most likely don't care what they carry for a pistol, as long as they have plenty of magazines for their rifles.

I chose the G17 because 9mm is my favorite caliber. For me it is the best balance of controllablilty/power/cost/availability.

Hey 15 guns!

Nice cast ... well baited.

Right now .40 is more available than 9mm.
.40 has greater knockdown power and muzzle energy.
9mm is cheaper and has less muzzle flip than .40.
9mm is also the most popular handgun round in the world so ammo should always be available even though .40 aint too far behind at least in the US.

Now with all that being said. The Glock 17 is too big a 9mm for me and the .40s&w is my favorite pistol round. Plus I can hunt with it here in Va. So I vote Glock 22
