Performance and applications

The .40 caliber round offers a compromise between 9mm capacity and larger calibers’ terminal performance, favored historically by many law enforcement agencies for its stopping power and manageable recoil. The 4.49-inch serrated steel slide promotes reliable extraction and reduced glare, while the Picatinny rail allows mounting of tactical lights or lasers for low-light work. Whether for range training or a duty-style setup, the GLOCK 22’s configuration supports practical, real-world use.
