Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between a Glock 17 and a Glock 22 Gen 2?

Externally, the Gen 2 Glock 22 is identical to the Glock 17. The primary difference lies in their chambering: the Glock 22 is chambered in .40 Smith & Wesson, while the Glock 17 is chambered in 9mm Luger.

Can .40 S&W ammunition be fired in a 10mm firearm?

In the video, .40 S&W ammunition was tested in a 10mm Ruger 1911. While it did fire and cycle the action, it did not lock the slide back. This is generally not recommended due to potential pressure differences and suboptimal performance.

What kind of performance can be expected from Federal 165-grain HST .40 S&W ammunition?

Federal 165-grain HST .40 S&W ammunition demonstrated excellent expansion and penetration when fired into two-liter bottles, creating significant damage and effectively stopping targets. The recovered projectile showed well-formed petals.

What is the significance of the 'Restricted LE or Government Only' marking on the Gen 2 Glock 22?

This marking indicates that the firearm was manufactured during the period when the U.S. Assault Weapons Ban was in effect. Such markings signified that the firearm was intended for sale only to law enforcement or government agencies.
