G17 or G22

[ampfizo]

im undedcided between the two...maybe you guys can help me lean more towards one...

what makes the g17 better than the g22..it seems like more people prefer to go with the g17 more than the g22 (frm reading it here and elsewhere) y???

1 reason i know would be that 9mm is cheaper to shoot, but is it a huge difference

Get the G17 bro. I love Glocks but I love 9mm Glocks even more!

The G17 is one of the most reliable and the original Glock and you absolutely can not go wrong buying one.

If you want something in .40 S&W get an M&P40.

Get the G17.

Cheaper ammo, more of it, less recoil, and 9mm works fine for social occasions should you need to use it.

G17s work with mounted lights, whereas G22s have issues (found this out firsthand).

No contest, get the G17.

G17 for all the above reasons

I'd also recommend going with the G17. It's arguably the most tested and the most reliable of the entire Glock stable. Several years ago Glock also did a quiet product improvement step regarding the barrel/slide fit; my personal Generation 3 G17 (used for carry, IDPA, GSSF, and steel plate competitions) is very accurate and exceptionally reliable. With judicious ammunition selection and shot placement (which is probably the key for ANY handgun utilized, pretty much regardless of caliber), I'd argue that tactically it's a wash between the G17 and the G22. I don't have anything personally against the G22, but for all the reasons stated in the previous thread(s), I don't think that you'd be disappointed if you selected the G17.

Best, Jon
