You completely missed the point of a Glock 22lr. It has zero to do with reliability, double stack mags or accuracy and everything to do with cheap training and practice that directly translates to a self defense pistol owned by millions.

minus learning to control the recoil and stay on target when you are firing full power 9mm instead of .22lr. .22 is a plinking round for shooting beer cans, squirrels and rabbits theres a reason our military doesnt train with AR22s instead of 5.56 M4 rifles. how does clearing a stovepiped 9mm effectively translate over to a .22 lr? only thing this new pistol does is look cool and seperate you from your money. you can run any drill with 9mm dummy rounds for a fraction of the cost of this pistol then actually train with the caliber you will be trusting your life with


Our military also has an almost unlimited budget. There are a lot of people who use 22’s to train with because ammo is a lot cheaper, and squeezing the trigger is what builds the muscle memory needed to make hits under pressure, and it also teaches how to use the sites.Training with a 22 is also a good way to start new shooters.

This gun is definitely not the best choice for a guy wanting a 22 to hunt or compete with, but it has its place.
