I like St Simons but Jekyll wasn’t bad. I was for recert every 3 years and was usually put up right outside the back gate at the Holiday InnESC686

All of my other Glocks are 9, or the one 22lr for training the girls. But I keep a Glock22 Gen2 with 40 / 40to9 / 40to357sig barrels and ammo in the go box.This - "The big advantage that the G22 brings is that with a barrel / mag swap you can shoot 9mm, 40, and 357 Sig."
I am not on INGO all that often but I get updates in my email.Would anyone be willing to give an assessment of the Glock mod. 22 in 40 S&W. I would like especially to hear about reliability, investment potential, or any negative aspects you may be aware of. And thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Not an expert, but I was under the impression the Glocks in 40SW were designed around 9mm, then barreled up. Over time, this can cause frame issues/cracks from the 40SW beating it up.
I have also heard a comment along these lines from one of James Yeager's videos. The 40SW just breaks things.
In a low usage environment, you are not likely to have issues. However, take a 1000 round training class and you might see some issues.
40 does wear out guns quicker however The biggest culprit is folks don’t change out the recoil springs and the 30 is less forgiving than most any others. If you don’t chang out the springs frequently and or run very major loaded ammo through it most mere mortals won’t.Not an expert, but I was under the impression the Glocks in 40SW were designed around 9mm, then barreled up.

If you are looking for an "upgrade," the general concensus (of INGO scientists) will say 9mm, but you already have a stockpile of 40sw.
I'm under the impression that S&W M&P handguns are designed around 40sw then barreled down to 9mm. I dont have any particular references to give you on this, though. One might call that an "upgrade." And my thoughts would be to get an M2.0 for the better trigger over the first version.
You shouldn't really have any issues with what you have, though.
On nearly every single Glock I own, I pick up a stainless steel recoil spring and, occasionally, with a heavier spring, which helps to slow-down and reduce the felt recoil...especially with the subcompacts!40 does wear out guns quicker however The biggest culprit is folks don’t change out the recoil springs and the 30 is less forgiving than most any others.

What about getting a recoil spring a pound or two heavier? Would that help reduce those effects? Does someone make a shock buff for the G22 like they make for the 1911's?40 does wear out guns quicker however The biggest culprit is folks don’t change out the recoil springs and the 30 is less forgiving than most any others.

But if your an agency or have training guns that get negated but shot you will have problems sooner with a 40 than a 9mm
While that could be done by an individual I am coming from the angle on agency firearms since that covers many guns at once and is just the side I’m more familiar with other than stuff I’ve seen at matchesOn nearly every single Glock I own, I pick up a stainless steel recoil spring and, occasionally, with a heavier spring, which helps to slow-down and reduce the felt recoil...especially with the subcompacts!
My first Glock was a 22….. I loved that pistol. Glocks aren’t a collectible…. They are a tool… a neat hammer should they ever be called to. Factory 40 can be rather under loaded if you don’t watch. Handloaded 40…. can be a lot of fun. My original 22 digested over 10k hot loads and never missed a beat. I sprung it according to loads and NEVER had one problem. Keep ‘em clean and play with springs and have fun. As far as 9mm VS 40S&W….. 40 will ALWAYS out do 9mm. I tire of hearing how much cheaper 9mm is…. You want cheap take up hunting four leaf clovers or butterflies…. Pull that trigger and make some 40 cal holes : ))
