Although I don’t have any first hand experience with the Glock 22, I do own a G19 Gen 4. Like many others, I bought my first Glock to see what all of the hype was about. Now I know. Even though it’s not the most beautiful gun I own, it has been flawless with reliability. Not one failure since I have owned it. My recommendation would be for you to buy the Glock. I’m sure it won’t be your last.
