GLOCK 22 or 21?
|
Posted 3 months ago I am wanting to purchase another handgun but I am stuck between the Glock 21 or 22. What do you think? |
|
| Posted 3 months ago 22C. I love mine! |
|
|
| Posted 3 months ago We get issued the 22 but not sure if I want the 40 or 45. |
|
| Posted 3 months ago Buy both, you can't go wrong with a Glock. |

| Posted 3 months ago Glock 22 in da house! |
|
|
| Posted 3 months ago Why the 22? |
|
| Posted 3 months ago A couple of years back I had a Glock 21 blow up in my hand on the range.... Beware... |

| Posted 3 months ago AOrozco said: Why not? Its a great handgun and will serve you flawlessly for as long as you want it to. The .40 cal is a great caliber and has a wide variety of ammunition availible. There are many after market options availible for it and you can buy holsters and other equipment for it readily. Shall I keep going? |

|
|
| Posted 3 months ago Wow! Did you find out why it blew up? |
|
|
| Posted 3 months ago Thats too bad, sorry to hear that happened to you. Unfortunately this can happen with any gun and isn't something specific to the Glocks. The 1st Gen Glocks in all Calibers have had some issues due to barrels and like any gun lots of catistrophic failures can happen due to many factors. |
|
|
| Posted 3 months ago The weapon was sent out to be tested. I was never presented with a clear answer.
|
|
|
| Posted 3 months ago I've never owned a Glock that's why i'm asking. I know I can find anything I need for the 22 at my local uniform shop as danR8 mentioned it's readily available and I believe I can find just as much equipment with the 21. I have a friend who is LAPD that wants to sell me his 21. |

|
| Posted 3 months ago Ok so do I purchase the 21 or 22 first? It would be a little to expensive to purchase both at the same time. |
|
|
| Posted 3 months ago My agency no longer allows officers to carry .45's of any type. We are all carrying 9mm Glocks. We are told that the rounds we carry have (almost) the same stopping power as a 45. I am of the belief that a 9mm round might expand as designed, but a .45 will never shrink... |

|
|
| Posted 3 months ago If your going to get a .40 I'd buy the PT35. Best Glock made in my opinion.. Of course you have to want a full size pistol. |

| Posted 3 months ago Training swears its true... I have a hard time buying it. But the last few officer involved shootings we have had, training goes in with the coroner and evaluate the rounds performance. |
|
|
| Posted 3 months ago Really. So the outcome was.....? I carry a 9mm now i'm gonna go try to find some. |
|
|
| Posted 3 months ago Memphis PD carry the Speer Gold Dot. Another tried and true round with the .40 cal |
|
| Posted 3 months ago I personally have a G22 and was issued a G22C for duty use. I have shot the G21 before and think it's just too big and bulky. |
|
|
| Posted 3 months ago I think its a bit bulky too. Seems to me that i just might go with the 22 first then i'll purchase the 21. |
|
|
| Posted 3 months ago Look, if you have a choice as to what gun you get to carry with your agency then find one you can shoot the best and one that supports a round that can offer high performance rounds. 9 mm or larger for duty use in my opinion. I am a huge Glock fan but the .45 GAP was about the most stupid idea I've ever heard of. Lets look at this, its a .45 caliber round with a short case. Sounds like a .380 on steriods to me. What the hell is that like light beer or what. Just carry a .45 ACP or don't carry a damn .45 because I will tease you. |
|
| Posted 3 months ago I carry a Glock 23.....perfect for my small hands |
|
|
| Posted 3 months ago The Glock 23 is a fantastic weapon and provides both concealability and enough size to be a perfect primary weapon. The .40 cal is proven itself as a stopper. I reload nearly a thousand .40 cal a month for practice and with a very light load and a 155 grain bullet I can knock holes is steel drums at over a hundred yards. I have fired these same reloads as well as factory rounds and duty rounds into car doors and other similar metal and it punches right through, even at angles as high as 45 degrees. |
|
| Posted 3 months ago I prefer the Glock 35 if it has to be a .40 and maybe a G23 or 27 for a back-up weapon. |
|
| Posted 3 months ago I also say go with a 22. If the 21 feels bulky to you.. look at the 21SF, I had one for a while and still felt bulky. Looking down the sights was like waiting for a P51 to land on this "air craft carrier slide" the G21 has. 22 is the best all around I feel. The most frequently purchased Glock pistol is the 22, after that its the 19. Everything you do can get you killed, including doing nothing at all. |
