Police belts across the country once carried the Glock 22 in numbers, when departments moved up to .40 S&W. It gives you a full-size grip, a plain trigger, and a design that tolerates rough use. If you want a pistol that has already shown it can handle daily duty, the G22 deserves a look.

This one is a used Glock 22 in .40 S&W with a 4.49-inch barrel and a black finish. The seller notes a 10-round capacity, which tells you the magazine that ships with it is a reduced-capacity unit. It is a semi-automatic pistol and carries serial number PXD202.

Handling a .40 is different from handling a 9mm. The recoil is sharper and the slide cycles with more bite, so expect to spend some range time getting the trigger work smooth. Many shooters find the extra authority worthwhile, and the cartridge remains common at gun shops across the country.

As with any trade-in, check the barrel for wear, inspect the slide rails, and make sure the magazine seats and releases cleanly. Look at the frame for holster marks and the sights for damage. Nothing about the pistol is fancy, and that is the point. It is sold as described, in used condition. The pistol ships to your local FFL dealer for the background check.
