I have a strange obsession with G22 and G23 that is unexplainable.
Might have to try out a Gen 5 finally.

The way they contour/"melt" the slide to the frame on the .45 GAP/Gen5.40 S&W Glocks makes it seem like it's not as bulky as the 21 or 30. It's a little thicker than the standard G17/G19 slides, and you can feel the weight difference when you handle them, but in terms of bulk it only seems slightly larger than the 9mm slides. That is, to me, anyway.
I know right? My current RTF2 G22 has been outstanding in accuracy and shootability, as was the Gen 4 I had previously. I'm leaning "strongly" to get a KKM barrel for it one of these days to see what it can do hot-rodded. I'm pretty curious about this Gen 5 version.
Here is a Glock Gen5 G22 with a FDE frame

Just snagged a G22.5 off GB for what I thought was a fair price. Should be here next week :cool: Looking forward to comparing it to my PX4 .40 and USP .40
I’m actually still a fan of the .40 - my first Glock was a Gen2 23 that I picked up in the early 90s and shot until I moved to M&P in the mid naughts. I have a substantial amount of ammunition here, too.
A 23.5 may be what I use this year’s blue label coupon to pick up; a 27.5 is tempting, too. I still have hopes that we will see Gen5 versions of the 31-32-33, too.
