Police departments bought the Glock 22 by the thousands when .40 S&W was the standard duty round, so a used one in your hands is a proven piece of working equipment. This is the Gen4 version in black, with a 4.5 inch barrel and a 15 round capacity.

The Gen4 brought a reversible magazine release and a dual recoil spring, along with the textured grip that shooters liked. The .40 S&W kicks harder than a 9mm, with a snappy push that some shooters enjoy and others find tiring, so run a few boxes before you decide it is the right caliber for you.

Condition is listed as used, and the pistol is sold as described. On any police trade-in, check the finish at the muzzle and the edges for holster wear, and the barrel for a clean bore. A good holster, a spare magazine and some time with a qualified instructor will do more for you than any accessory.

The Glock ships to a licensed dealer near you, where the background check is done before you take it home. For the money it is a fair way to own a duty-tested pistol.
