About six months ago I swore off of .40 S&W. Sold off my G22 gen4 and all of my ammo for it too. Then recently it hit me.....I miss my old trusty G22 workhorse.
I started shopping around and came across an un-issued police department G22 still new in box. After inspection, I noticed it had my favorite finish as well....the old "frying pan" finish. I know it's just a Glock but I do love that older finish. It also came with night sights, three mags and the non-beaver tail grip modules. Sure enough, it was never issued and was unfired still in the box. The fired casing envelope in the box is from 2012.
I've been to the range with it once for testing since I bought it and loved seeing those .40 casings come flying out of the slide. As expected, it ran 100% with no issues.
I can honestly say that I'm glad to have a G22 back in the safe. I guess I have a love hate relationship with .40 S&W but this new to me G22 isn't going anywhere. Plus, I like having an alternative to my mostly 9mm collection. Any other G22 owners share my feelings?
