- Here's an over view of one of my LE trade in Generation 2 Glock 22s. I do some shooting with it, field strip & reassemble it, and discuss some pros and cons of the gun.

Thank you---as I am an admitted Glock fan-boy there will certainly be more Glock videos in the future.
Hello from 2023!
I just picked up a Glock 22 from a pawn shop I deal with for $360 + tax. (They wanted 400 but i love to dicker.)
I got a kick out of the counter person when i asked him to field strip it please. He fumbled around a bit before allowing me to demonstrate how easy it is. (I have a model 41.)
I'm just getting into .40 cal and have a S&W model 410/411
I looked to see if you had done a 22 review and sure enough you did two. I enjoyed them very much.
Love your videos. It's nice to see someone from my hometown doing well on youtube with a practical and fun hobby.
Bought one brand new well over 15 years ago. Not sure how many rounds I have through it. Never had one issue, not a one. Not a single FTF, FTE, etc. I have only shot new ammunition, no reloads. It will eat any type of new ammunition. One fine handgun.
Rock Semiauto Nice.
Good to hear that . i just got the Gen 2 trade in . Figured it was the ammo
Answered all my questions on purchasing a Gen 2 Glock police trade in. Thanks.
Bro you've been making great vids for a long time now 🤘
I will say the laser max guide rod laser on my Glock 21 generation two is absolutely the best laser I have ever had it hits exactly where I point just amazing and my gun came with it looking like it was never fired for a mere $400
Nice vid, I have a gen 2 hat I have carried for about the last 10 years and it is my favorite handgun. I love it and it has never failed me and I have put it through some stuff. I would recommend thus gun for anyone looking for a good gun at a good price.
It really depends on your ejection pattern. If it's strong then I'd just leave it but of it's weak you may want to swap it out.
Depends when it was made. New Gen 3s have the same barrel as the Gen4
I am truly convinced Glock makes the best polymer striker fired handgun and most likely always will I like the CZ P09 when it comes to the hammers but Glock is just so simple it makes all of the quirky stuff worth passing up
Great video. I'd love to get a kaboom on film (glocknade) :) Wouldn't mind picking up some old LE trade ins. More Glock vids!!! I can watch vids like this all day long.
Very good and educational video on the gen 2 Glock... Good vid for those who are inquiring information on this particular firearm.
Joisey Kids Thanks
I bought my gen 3 G22 back in January 2021 I put a stainless steel guide rod with a 20lb spring & aftermarket fully supported barrel though I had some feeding issues with that barrel so I polished up the feed ramp & now feeds flawlessly still a bit of an inconvenience but it was only $64.99 factory seconds.
Thanks. There's no fish in there; it drains out after the summer every year. It's got about 12 feet more water on it now and that whole area's underwater though.
Gen 3 RTFs are my favorite frames.
Just picked one of these up today thanks to your review. Can I buy a newer barrel or aftermarket barrel with more case support, or will an actual "non-gen 2" barrel not work in the gun? Thanks!
My favorite channel on CZcams
Sure is. They were $299 and the Christmas special a few months ago so I got a couple :D
CM9/PPS/Shield get my vote in that category. The Bersa seems to have an abnormally high number of malfunctions reported.
Good advice there
Just bought one today and came straight to you for a review lol
slim61st You're supposed to do it the other way around :D
Absolutely.
Sounds good.
Got pretty lucky myself and scored a Glock 21 generation to mint condition looks to be never fired with laser max guide rod installed not a single scratch anywhere on the gun I will be keeping this one for good since these are becoming very hard to find and mine is from March 1993 also has Adjustable rear site so I will try to locate a TFX front sight only for this set up or nothing at all I am currently locating paperwork and a box
Thank you.
I absolutely love the generation 2 For me it was the best Glock next to the 19 X generation five is very nice but to get the older one cheaper I think I would take that first especially with the deals that are popping up now
Excellent video...ive always wondered about that kaboom theory..lol after 6k rounds through this I've kinda dismissed the idea. However, I've never fed it handloads either.
Thank you. Tell your friends ;)
There you go.
I can't in the comments section and each site has different rules as to who can purchase them. If you google the names I stated + glock they'll come right up though.
Got one of these after watching your video. The slide has 2 marks on the rail--where the locking block makes contact. The locking block was all loose (pins) , changed and now fits OK.. I saw a bit of the same marks on yours....any issues?? I plan on changing RSA, slide stop, pins.
Spiccock40cal here ,,,and i loooove my gen2 g22 with the grip choped to G23,,,thanks for your time and knowledge
awesome
Thanks.
great review
The Glocks And the S&W 40s I see from Police auctions are Dirty and some have cracked frames, Etc. it's Cool to see you got one in Good Shape!! Thanks for the Awesome Vids Bro!!
I did my undergrad there.
Just depends on user preference. The only thing you lose with the Gen3 is accessory capability. But, lots of folks like the Gen2 grip better. Your call.
Awesome review.
You really caught my interest about the Crimson Trace light. Will it fit my G26? I emailed Crimson Trace and they said they had no lights for G26. It wouldn't surprise if their cust.serv. rep didn't know.
Great review!
WaffenRecht Thank you.
I've got a Gen4 G20 and a Gen3 G20C video up already.
nice! finally a no bullshit review, thanks!!!!!
Alfred Jarry You're welcome
Which one would u recommend? glock 22 gen 2 or glock 22 gen 3? im thinking about getting one but got stuck between the gen 2 and gen 3
It's a good one!
Well, all handguns are poor stoppers of 2 and 4 legged threats. That said, 9mm will do the job if you do yours with fast accurate follow up shots until the threat has ceased. That doesn't change regardless of caliber. 9/40/45 are very very similar in terms of results when using quality JHPs
Looks like the fish in your pond are getting a healthy does of lead and copper haha, great video, it answered lot of questions.
PDX1 is absolutely fine.
Love your reviews! Would you recommend carrying PDX1 40sw 180gr and 165gr In a gen 2 glock 23 or 22, carry maybe some low recoil loads that may be loaded not as hot? Thanks
I'm not MGG, but I've got several trade ins. Frankly, replacing the recoil and trigger spring every 5k rounds is prudent and something an owner can do. Sending the pistol back is expensive (50ish bucks to ship). FWIW, I have never found a Police Department trade-in pistol with excessive internal ( internal! ) wear.
Can you fit a gen 4 barrel into a gen 2 in anyway? Or do you have to just buy the whole new gen4 if you want to get rid of the kaBoom risk?
Ok Cool, I may have to pick me up one of those ex Police Glocks or the S&W 40's! Thanks Bro, I didn't think about that!
great vid
Love mine it has the gils surrations never had any problems yet!!!
Lawmans Safety Supply in both states is selling G22s with two standard capacity mags for $329.00. Good deal....
Don't forget, with only a barrel swap, your .40 Glock can shoot .357SIG or 9mm. Versatile platform.
You're welcome.
It is so I've got several :D
Off topic: Do you have any of the micro 9mm or 40s? Summers coming and my g26 is too big for shorts and t-shirt. I have a tcp and it failed to feed today. I'd like a micro with a rail but I'm stumped.I didn't know if you have one or access to one you like. I'm leaning toward a Bersa bp9cc. The bore axis on the pps is way up there.
yeah I was thinking gen 2 too because im not into accessory on my weapon, I like them stock, plus I heard gen 2 is cheaper , they run 380-450$ for a glock 22 gen 2 only
Do the gen 3's have the same improved chamber as the gen 4's? And, can the gen 3's and 4's safely shoot stuff like Buffalo Bore ammo?
Thanks for posting...always great vids.
+OcalaVictory619 they got progressively more supported over the years so there's no concrete answer by gen
I see...thanks.
I wouldn't send it in to Glock; just inspect it yourself and replace springs as needed. If you're unsure how to do it just check out my 'how to detail strip a glock' video.
I didn't. This was recorded long before we had that conversation.
Man, from the looks of it, you handle that Glock 22 pretty well. How long have you been shooting .40?
How do I tell if my glock is Gen 1 or 2?
i know this is an older video but was wondering. can you run a newer barrel in a gen 2. like a gen 4 G22 barrel in a gen 2 G22. for the case support
yes
Dude did you get that from NC? I got a gen 2 LE trade in from here in Raleigh....
You can
Are you in the Charlotte area? I was noticing your sweatshirt
I carry an old law enforcement issue for my security detail. Never had a problem with it :-)
Good stuff.
what about the case support in a gen 3 22?
is the glock gen 2 still better than the Sd40ve from Smith&Wesson
+john smith better is relative
You want a great combat shooter in a 40 look for a 4006 s&w. Hefty but its lack of muzzle flip makes it a awesome at trip/dbl tap
Mrgunsngear;
RE: The G-22 Gen2:
1. Are you aware of any frame battering problems using factory ammo, standard pressures, 155/165/180 gr?
2. Do you know if Glock makes a dual RSA for the Gen 2? 3rd Party Mfrs.?
Thanks.
8000 plus rounds through my police trade in.....no battering at all using training ammo, High End "street ammo" is real rough on the frame and slide
To: John Easler
By high end "street ammo" -- do you mean higher pressure / velocity? I've read that standard pressure rounds of 165gr or less is best to prevent any frame battering.
"street ammo" is ammo you use for defense....high end.....Zombie, Gold Dot, etc.
Great!! Thank you!
Can you list the websites where we can find the police trade-in pistols? Save me having to wander the internet. :) Thx.
***the shooting portion
It doesn't fit the G26 to my knowledge; just mid and full size frames
Endo Apparel. I can't post a link but google will turn it up.
+Mrgunsngear Channel Hi, so I just acquired a Glock 22 LE trade in. It's in pretty good condition just regular cosmetic wear however the rifling looks so worn compared to other Glocks I've owned. My question to you since you seem to be very knowledgeable on these particular firearms is, is it possible for a polygonal rifling to wear like that or does it just seem that way cause I know it's been used??? Thank you for your time...
+Joisey Kids no way to say without seeing it.
+Mrgunsngear Channel thank u for your response. If there is any way to send you a pic of it I would, it's weird, when I hold it up to the light perfectly it looks round like hardly any rifling. But thank you anyway for the response. I could always just get a new one. Thanks again
It does have a rail. So does that make it a gen 2.75 lol. U tell me .thanks.
Just bought a LE G22 the other day and you said not to shoot reloads. Would shooting reloads from Topshot or Freedomunitions be a bad idea? Thanks
Alexander Cook Check the brass. It's not 'reloads' in the commercial sense I was talking about but home reloads that may not be as consistent. With any load if you see stressed brass stop using it in these guns.
Mrgunsngear Channel Ok, thanks for the advice.
Can you put a gen 3 barrel in and completely avoid the kaboom? I know it's not likely but had to ask
Jason Trimble Gen3 barrels work in Gen2 guns.
Awesome and thank you for your time I did think I would get a response so fast thank you keep the vids coming.. Maybe a 22c video? Have a good one and thanks again
I'm glad someone asked about the gen 3 barrels in the gen 2 Glocks. I just bought a gen 2 G22 and the first thing I have ordered is a new barrel and recoil spring. I wasn't sure either but seeing some more people in agreement that the barrel will work is good.
Jason Trimble but Gen 2 barrels don’t work on Gen 3 Glocks. Learned that the hard way! 😅
Where can I get a shirt like yours? Amazon??
Can you do a 10mm glock ???
What full size Glock would you recommend over all? caliber doesn't matter for me, But I'm wanting either a Glock or a full sized M&P.
JudgmentDREDD Well if you're looking at full size then full size for sure; 17/22/34/35
Hey thanks as always, I'm still new to pistols.
I got a 22 gen 2 brand new only shot it once damn good ,I'm more of a 10mm guy...
I had a chance of getting my hands one one of these I'm kinda regretting it.
+TheLegalMexicanCA they're fun guns for sure
Cracked frame---that's a good thing. Both of those companies will replace them with a new one for free.
holster?
Funny thing tho I did a grip reducition to my 17 and stippled the whole thing so ill have to see if I have any before pics. (fyiifanyonewants there'sdonehitmeupolshamelessplug )I do have a bone stock 19 bought the same time thats a twin . ill try to get some fb pics to ya.I'm really curious to know what gen it is. Everyone I've asked said gen 2 until thy see rails and finger grooves. Thanks.
Just picked up a Glock 22 gen 4 dark earth today took it apart and on the slide inside that little groove next to where the slide release catches there is a little hairline mark that looks like possibly a crack can feel it with my fingernail is this alright looked at my 23 it doesnt have it ?
+tony davis Without seeing it I can't say either way
Didnt come with two shell casings either should I contact Glock ?
Fired it today and the slide doesnt always lock back on the last round so I guess I will be sending her back to Glock
I am looking to purchase a small handgun. I really want to be able to carry it on my person, as a concealed weapon. The S&W Shield and Ruger LC9 seem a little to big for that. What are your thoughts on the Beretta 3032 for personal safety and can you do a review on it? I like the fact that you don't have to pull the slide back on this small gun.
Deana Turner I won't. But, I highly recommend you seek out some training from a professional on how to manipulate the slide properly and efficiently. I've taught hundreds of women and only one (in her 80s with severe arthritis) couldn't run a slide efficiently afterward.
Thanks, I will do that.
the shield is made for conceal carry.
the shield is made for conceal carry.
They don't work on my camera; thanks though.
Where to get parts for gen2 glock?
glock store, glockmeister, glock themselves. Google glock parts.
Thanks But What do I need to do ??
Luis Junior Bid. Have you FFL ship. Lots of tutorials.
If you bought it in 2007 new there is a 0% chance it's a Gen4. I'd bet your recoil spring has a plastic guide rod and your gun doesn't have interchangeable backstraps--hence it's a Gen3.
Sounds like you have what's commonly referred to as a "Gen 2.5." If it doesn't have a rail that's what it is.
Nice
Without a rail, is there any way to attach a light?
+Tommy TwoGun not that I know of
+Tommy TwoGun www.recovertactical.com/ has a new product shipping March 2016 for 32.00. Comes with a clip that can be taken off in case you don't want a belt clip. Its specifically designed for the Gen 1/2. Hope this helps.
could someone tell me if you can put a gen 3 slide on a gen 2 glock with a 100% compatibility ?
Charles Divry Yes you can the frames and slides are interchange 100% the only difference is the finger grooves and accessory rail on the GEN 3 all parts are 100% interchangeable
@@msw9671 great, thanks for answering !
I guess so....? I don't think I've ever seen one of those. I'm not sure if you follow me on facebook but if you do I'd love to see a picture of it. Feel free to post it over on my page if you can.
