Tons of Glock 22's and 23's for sale who HAD to have them a few years back

Love my SR40 & SR40C. May buy a RAP when it comes out in .40 (shopruger lists holsters as fitting the 9mm and .40 for a RAP).

Where?

I'm in the market.

 

[STEEL CORE]

All I carry, you think the large number of them made has anything to do with your observation that many of them are for sale?
I have and shoot 9mm Glocks, but prefer and trust mine and my families lives to the .40.

I think the market ebbs and flows. I'm not a poly fan, so my .40 is a CZ 40P, all steel and aluminum. It's an awesome fun gun to shoot. After shooting a buddy's H&K compact in .357 sig, I think I'm going to pick up a P229 Legion in .357 sig sometime soon and drop a .40 barrel in it for the range. I love shooting both 9mm and .45, but .357 sig and .40 are a lot of fun too

You gotta do better than this Mr. Plinker, if you ever want to get to 50 posts. Mods can and do set people back who make minimal/no effort at quality posts.

Mine aren't for sale.

I still have 3 .40's. I sold the G22 because of some of the well known issues with them back a few years ago.

I can't imagine why people would be selling their Glock fotays...

There is an issue right there...

Probably just needs a good cleaning....

I wonder if you could just superglue it back together?

FWIW, there seems to be quite a few police trade in .40's available right now at the 1500 from a number of different manufacturer's.

I'm not a Glock guy at all. But, the G22 is a fine gun and I wouldn't mind having one.









I would just have to store it in the garage where no one could see it.

What issues are you referring too?

Funny on the KB issue, out of all the 40 all the KB's seem to be from civilian shooters. Several Federal agencies use them and have had very little issues and I'm not aware of any KB's with the LE guns and I frequent FLETC in Brunswick GA on their ranges every so often.

Biggest problem is reloaders try and get 4,5 or more loadings out of the same case and with that Glock budge making it weaker Everytime especially with the higher pressure 40 will brew some trouble trouble.

Like the 357 the 40 might look like it's loosing some popularity but it will be around for a long time and is a good round just not maybe for everyone because even 26 years after the 40 hit the ground running some haters still gonna hate LOL

You also had the function issues when a light was mounted. Seems like there were another few.

Maybe they're for sale because they're Glocks, not because they're fo-tays? They're are always a ton of Glocks for sale in almost every model, which I'm sure has nothing to do with them being ugly as sin and feeling like they were made in a 3D printer

My fortay is my baby. Baby Eagle that is, and it's not for sale either.

I only know why I bought a .40 S&W way back when and why I no longer own one. Bullets and widespread concealed carry permits.

9 mm SD rounds back in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's were sub-par. Actually, so were the 40's, but the extra "punch" made up for it. Now, there are lots of great 9 mm SD rounds that perform reliably for most civilian SD situations. Throw in that the target ammo matches the POI of the SD round (something I could never do with the old 147 Hydra-shocks) and that they shot well in the sub-compacts that used to be only .380 or lighter, and there is very little reason to have more expensive .40 ammo.

I still like the .40 in a full size, I really liked my Beretta 96, but I like buying (and shooting) my 9mm by the 1,000 better.

Enough individual shooters and LE Organizations have made the same decisions that there are plenty of used .40's around, especially in the popular Glocks. Simple supply and demand.

I personally enjoy my glock 23. It is fun to shoot and quite accurate. With a few precautions while reloading, I believe I will be able to shoot 1000's of rounds through it. Granted it is a gen 4 so it is much better than earlier models in regards to the barrel.
