Glock22 .40--------> 357SIG

As I understand it, you can simply drop in a .357SIG barrel of the same size into your G22 and no other mods are needed to shoot the new calibre.

Is this correct?


thanks!

 

[ponts]

yes..........

 

[G37]

I've done it
Same magazines even... pretty cool!

it is just drop in..just make sure u have the 3 pin frame G22.

 

[manboy]

are all the 3rd gen 3 pin frames?

are all the 3rd gen 3 pin frames?

I am also curious how the generations play out. I know it was posted once before way before the change to new software but I was wondering if someone in the know could repost it - the difference between generations besides the finger grooves. I also just got a 3rd generation G22 and would like to know if I can do the barrel change.

 

[Musky Hunter]

the G22 came in as Gen2. Some had 2 pins, the newer Gen2s had 3 pin. All Gen 3s have 3 pin.

supercool. where to get a barrel now? and how does that work with the CFC? or they don't give a ####?

 

[G37]

I believe they don't give a poop otherwise Gunshops wouldn't be allowed to sell .22lr conversion kits the way they do
Questar can get Barsto barrels.

slide / upper dont need to be registered

you can buy barrels from questar or import one from the US.

Anyone shot the .357 sig extensively in a Glock? I am curious as how the Glock 22 with .357 bbl performs over time, since the frame is pretty much the same as the G17 unlike the G20/G21. Anyone shoot either of these calibers in a Sig 226?

 

[G37]

I shot the .357sig in a Glock (Actually I owned a G31 and got a G22 barrel for it)... it's a tad snappier than .40S&W (it hurt my trigger finger after a couple boxes), but the .40S&W in 180gr pushes more if that makes any sense.
.
I was using a Wolff 22lb spring and rod in my Glock as I was paranoid about beating the poor frame to death
Never a problem (never had an FTF now that I think of it) and very fun.

I have used the P226 in 357SIG and my G22 in 357 SIG. In the SIG P226 I prefer the feel of the recoil of the 40 over the 357SIG and in the Glock 22 I mostly shoot the 357SIG as I hate how the Glock feels with the 40SW loads. The 357SIG in a G22 shoots a tad high, but functions 100% using the stock recoil spring. Come to think of it, I have never had a jam in either the P226 or the G22 using 357SIG, that bottleneck round feeds flawlessly everytime. have not noticed any problems with the frame, but I have only put about 500 357SIG 125 grain JHP loads through it so far.

Does swapping from 40 to 357 only involves changing the barrel, or is there something else to do, like changing the recoil spring?

 

[Musky Hunter]

the same recoil spring..
