Zeus in your happy place!
I had the same problem with .40 the first time I shot it 4 years ago. Hated it then! Then I got a G22 Gen3 like you just did. Went to the range expecting to hate the gun and trade it off on the EE. In fact, i was nervous to shoot the gun. Stood there for 5 mins drawing and reholstering without shooting. When I finally put 100rds on target, I left with the biggest smile on my face. The biggest key is get a proper grip and stance. 180gr .40 felt like 9mm. Wished I had brought more ammo! Hope you will have the same pleasant experience! Enjoy! It's a great gun!
