The
Glock 22 is a pistol manufactured by Glock.
It is essentially a Glock 17 modified to
fire .40 S&W ammunition (instead of the 9×19mm Parabellum
fired by the 17). It uses a modified slide, frame, .40 S&W barrel and magazine
but otherwise appears nearly identical to the Glock 17. The gun comes standard
with 2 (3 if Gen 4) 15-round magazines; 22-round magazines (that will function
in other .40-caliber Glock handguns) are also available. Also available for
certain states and countries that ban magazines of over 10 rounds are 10-round
magazines.
The
Glock 22 has undergone three major revisions since its introduction in 1990.
Currently, the model produced is the Gen 4.
The
Glock 22C is a version of the Glock 22 that has a ported barrel and slide to reduce muzzle climb while shooting the pistol.

Caliber
modification
One
notable feature of the Glock 22, and indeed many modern .40 S&W
pistols, is the ability to change the caliber to .357 SIG
with a simple barrel swap. This is possible due to the similar operating
pressures of both rounds, and the fact that the .357 SIG is based on a .40
S&W case, necked down to accept .355 inch bullets. The Glock 22 can also be
fitted with a converted .40 S&W - 9mm barrel and can operate as such using
a Glock 9mm magazine. A .40 S&W - .22 LR conversion kit is also available
for the Glock 22.
