Per Bill Rogers, recoil masks many imperfections in sights and trigger technique, which a .22 lays bare.

Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Folks, this is still America. May as well shoot ALL the calibers.

This is the biggest lesson that I learned when I switched to Limited from Production last year. It is actually not just a sights or trigger technique. It is a grip and recoil management - the most difficult part of the pistol shooting in my opinion. It is relatively easy to hit a target; the real challenge is to hit it again quickly.

I'd love to hear that fully detailed out. Lacking that, it'll be good brain exercise to try and figure out what fundamental can be off that is masked by recoil.
Surely it isn't grip. Extensive shooting of light recoil pistols can instill weak grip problems, that is pretty widely understood. I've seen it. Principally a factor in strings of fire.
Clean press; can't be. The bullet is on its way when recoil factors in.
Should one assume similar pistol triggers and over all weight? Cause I could see a light .22 showing flaws a 40+ ounce pistol with light trigger could conceal.
Thought provoking for sure.

So hasn’t been leaked yet?
Gives me some hope considering that everything Glock releases gets leaked. Maybe it’s actually something worth keeping secret

Probably so. I recall a lot of "understudy" discussion but a lot of that is in the context of shooting the more challenging .22 platform whatever it may be; like a .22 J frame. No matter, Glocks are sufficiently challenging that a solid and correct weight pistol and trigger would be a great training device.

While not a .22, I trained up for a major match with a 9mm 1911 that went down hard the day before the match.
No problem. I'll use my identical (built at the same time by the same 'smith to be identical in every respect) 1911 in 45.
I had enough ammo to miss 150 times and I ran out of ammo with a couple of stages left.
I've watched a bunch of the Steel Challenge rimfire dorks do the same thing going from their dorked up Ruger to their real(er) pistols.
