Isn’t the real news with the Gen 5 .40, that Glock has designed it for .40 and added about two ounces of mass to the slide compared to a Gen 5 17?

And the only reason you get Gen3 is because California and their 'Roster'. Otherwise Glock would dump them in a heartbeat as well.Originally Posted by ruckusjuice

First, look at the weight and slide width of the G5 17.

Then look at the specs on the Gen 5 22, which has a thicker slide and weighs more.

Good. Hopefully it makes the 40 Glocks last longer.

Same here. My G22 is around 20 years old and still my go to.
I'd buy a 40 cal Glock again.

Might not be a bad idea to have a .40 around given the current ammo weirdness.

That's what our buddy's point was. If I actually shot pistols, that would work in my favor.

During the past few political scares, the last ammunition readily available on the shelves in my area was .40 S&W and 30-06. That is why I find it advantageous to own a M1 Garand, Glock 22 and a few 1903 Springfield's.

I agree for the most part, but that is all i have been seeing in local shops. Both FMJ's and all kinds of flavors of HP's.
