Wanting a light/laser combo for my GLOCK 22.
Unfortunately, it's a Gen 3 with only the single slot in the rail:

Want a unit the controls for which are easy to reach by the triggerguard.
Most of what I see online look as if the mounting position would be too far forward.
Unfortunately, I live in the country with no nearby stores that have selections of these units.
So, asking for recommendations to fit my gun.
thanks..

Look up a Streamlight TLR-2. I use several of their TLR-1 models (light only) on my various Glocks, and have never had a problem with them. The TLR-2 is the same basic body as a TLR-1 light, with a tiny laser module added on the bottom, along with a 3-position toggle switch (to choose between activating the light, laser, or both at once). The momentary- or normal-on switch can usually be reached by the trigger finger (up for temporary, down for locking to the On position), even for left-handed users (although the switch pattern will be opposite for them; up for lock-On, and down for temp-On). If you use a two-handed grip, the thumb of the support hand can sometimes be used to operate the laser/light switch.

The single TLR-2 I have gets used on a rifle, not the Glocks, but it's also been trouble-free.

Note: make sure to test whatever you buy by shooting the pistol with your chosen ammo with the laser/light mounted on the pistol. In a few cases, the added weight of a light or laser/light combo changes the way the recoil affects the pistol cycling, and may cause stoppages. Using the newest Glock model 22 factory magazine can minimize potential problems when you have a light/laser mounted (they strengthened the mag spring), but you must test your gun/ammo/light combo to make sure everything works without fail.
