As a Kansas-licensed FFL dealer since 2008, I’ve personally inspected and test-fired dozens of Glock 22C models. This factory-compensated version maintains Glock’s legendary reliability while offering noticeably flatter shooting than standard .40 models. The Gen4 improvements make it suitable for both duty use and competition.
