I just bought some UMC 50 rounds for 11.99. They had it on sale for 10.99 but I missed it. 24 cents for the 11.99. That's not too bad. It's still way cheaper than 40. Although I saw some Federal AE on sale for 14.99 / 50 for .40. Which is about as cheap as I've seen anywhere. At Gander Mountain no less......

.40 is still cheaper than .45 though.

And actually, now that you mention I think the WWB for 4.99 as 50 round boxes. I'm pretty sure I remember 9.99 for the 100 rounders. I don't know, it's all a blur. It just used to be a lot cheaper.

There are TONS of Police Trade in Glock 22s are all over the market and dirt cheap ($300-$350 range)...

No WAY that I'd trade a nice M-9 for a Glock 22....

Now maybe for a mint Glock 19 with night sights...

Never. In fact I just recently traded a G42 for a 92FS.

.40 Glocks are half the reason the caliber is so out of favor right now. 40 S&W out of polymer handguns generally suck, the recoil is just too snappy for most shooters given the weight of the gun.

I recently picked up a P226 in .40 and it so much a better shooter than the G23 and G27 I used to own. One of the handguns I regret selling was a CZ40, the all steel construction made shooting the gun easy peasy.

Holy crap that's cheap. Were you serious about trading one of your G19's for an M9/92?

I found out today the other guy that did the trade with him traded him an UNFIRED M9. He did give 2-15 round mags and 2-25 round mags with it. I forgot to add that part of the deal. Not sure if that would change people's minds.

Lot of HiPower guys like the .40 HiPower too. But I have a feeling I would've thought the G22 was too snappy. I never fired it. I was going to go over to his house and try it out first, but it never came to that.

Your buddy probably peed on the guys leg on the way out. $325 glock for a $600+ M9

Maybe there was gold in the barrel. I don't know. I'll have to ask him if there was something special about it. He was fair with me when he sold my my G26. At least I thought so. 400 bucks for a G26. Two standard mags, one crappy 15 rounder. Not overly abused. Not mint, but seems to work. Was that a bad deal?

G23 and G22s are cheap because they're the most common police trade in guns and because they're in. 40, not strictly because they're Glocks.

For example I bought a good condition P229 (usually an $800 gun) for $385 because it was a .40 DAK trade in. Had it been 9mm and/or DA/SA it would have been worth more.

The G26 is not only 9mm it isn't a common trade in gun. That was a decent price.

Hell ya.. in a heart beat. I got my first Glock by selling off my 92FS . And never once regretted it. I only bought a Beretta as it was what Uncle Sugar was issuing me and I could practice with it. once I retired, the Beretta was gone. Big, heavy, DA/SA trigger pull, Safety on the rail, can't change the front sight easily.

Yes, it was a reliable gun and accurate, but so are all my other handguns... plus all the negatives mentioned above... I took me a few years to get a Glock, and I never looked bak.

Do it.

But not a G22... get a G17... that is what the Glock is all about.. 9mm.

Safety on the rail????? That's a new one one my. LOL. I'm just giving you a hard time. I knew what you meant. I finally am tired of that design feature too. I'm sure some can run it fine. I just don't want to any longer.

Rail... Duh.... Slide...

I use to think for years, What was all the fuss over the Glock, until I got a G17 and started to shoot it... I was amazed at how intuitive and simple it was... and how well I could shoot it with minimal effort.

I have a hard time liking any other handgun that makes me do anything more to get it in operation then draw, point and shoot.
