I saw a new 3rd Gen. Glock 22 with "God Bless Texas" laser engraved on the slide at Cabela's this morning and had to have it. It also has a the Texas flag and an outline of the state engraved on either side of "God Bless Texas."
It's my first .40 S&W pistol. I've been slow to want to buy a .40 but have had the itch lately.
Of course it fired the Federal 180 grain range ammo and Winchester Ranger 135 JHPs flawlessly. The .40 has pretty snappy recoil but the G22 seems the ideal size to handle it. I'm surprised the G22 uses the same recoil rod/spring assembly as the G17. Any value to replacing it with a steel rod and a slightly stronger spring?
I plan to buy a 40 to 9 conversion barrel in the near future. Any experiences or preferences?
I like Glocks. I've had many of them. They've all run 100%. I don't care for the newer Glocks. I've shot and own other pistols but keep coming back to Glock. To each his own.
