Looking at a police dept trade in G22. Anyone have any comments or experience with these? I realize it may be well used, but that's ok, it will be a truck gun, conceal carry.

Glock 22

At my last Department we shot a 150-200 rounds a year through our duty weapons. that was three fiream training days in a year. I was issued the gun (Glock 22) new and it was sold at 5.5 years old. So at most.....1000 rounds.
The guys who carried theirs in the police academy probably put an additional 1000 rounds through theirs. My personal Glock has well over 6000 rounds through it on the original springs. I have only had a single malfunction out of it in all of those rounds. I can't really blame it on the gun because it was during a training session where someone else loaded my gun with alternating dummy rounds. The gun failed to feed after the first shot. I looked and it was a double feed involving two live rounds. Cleared it with a tap rack and ready. I carry a Glock 21 now and have the utmost faith in the weapon.

I wouldn’t hesitate a bit. Cop guns, like most guns, are carried a lot and shot very little.
This is a good deal too, if you want something other than a Glock. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/...raps%2c+no+box

I’ve bought all 4 of my weapons as our department switched from .357 revolvers to 2 different Glock 22’s and retired with my s/w police .40 cal. Most guys buy their weapons back some non guy types don’t. Each weapon on our dept was shot at qualification once a year and maybe some tactical training on shooting day at inservice , our armorer would look over the weapons and did any repairs . Never had any issues with glocks and the torture test they put that thing thru before we got them was tough. I didn’t care for them at first I love my revolvers, and my 1911’s, but after having a polymer weapon I really enjoyed them.
