Key Features of the Glock 22 Gen5
1. Gen5 Marksman Barrel for Superior Accuracy
Glock has redesigned the barrel in the Gen5 series to provide enhanced accuracy. The Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB) features a new rifling pattern and an improved crown that results in tighter groupings and better shot consistency.
2. No Finger Grooves for a Universal Grip
One of the most noticeable changes in the Glock 22 Gen5 is the removal of finger grooves. This allows shooters with different hand sizes to achieve a comfortable, natural grip, improving control and overall shooting experience.
3. Ambidextrous Slide Stop Lever
The Gen5 Glock 22 comes with an ambidextrous slide stop lever, making it more user-friendly for left-handed and right-handed shooters alike. This upgrade is especially beneficial for law enforcement officers and tactical shooters who may need to operate the firearm in high-stress situations.
4. Enhanced Durability with nDLC Coating
The nDLC (diamond-like carbon) finish on the slide of the Glock 22 Gen5 increases durability and resistance to scratches, moisture, and corrosion. This ensures the pistol performs flawlessly in extreme conditions, whether in the field or at the range.
5. Safe Action® System for Maximum Safety
Glock’s signature Safe Action® System provides three independent mechanical safeties: the trigger safety, firing pin safety, and drop safety. These work together to prevent accidental discharges while allowing a smooth and consistent trigger pull for every shot.
6. High-Capacity Magazine Options
One of the advantages of the Glock 22 caliber (.40 S&W) is its balance between power and capacity. The Glock 22 Gen5 comes with a 15-round standard magazine, with optional extended magazines available for increased firepower.
7. Flared Magwell for Faster Reloads
Reloading has never been smoother thanks to the flared magwell on the Gen5 frame. This feature allows for quicker and more efficient magazine changes, which is crucial in tactical and competitive shooting scenarios.
8. Modular Backstrap System for Custom Fit
The Glock 22 Gen5 includes interchangeable backstraps, allowing users to customize the grip to their hand size and preference. This enhances ergonomics and shooting comfort, making it a great choice for both small and large-handed shooters.
