The Glock 22 is a pistol manufactured by Glock. It is a Glock 17 modified to fire .40 S&W ammunition. It uses a modified slide, frame, .40 S&W barrel and magazine but is otherwise near identical in looks to the Glock 17. It has a 15 round magazine capacity.
The Glock 22 has undergone three major revisions since its introduction in 1990 and current models are called 3rd generation Glock 22s.
The difference between the Glock 22 and the Glock 22C is that the barrel and slide are ported on the C model to reduce muzzle climb while shooting the pistol.
The Glock 22 is one of the most popular sports and law enforcement pistols in the United States.
