Glock 22 Generation 3: Easy to find, Hard to beat

June 2, 2017 by Steven Hildreth, Jr. 24 Comments

The Glock 22 is one of the most widespread pistols in the United States for both civilian use and law enforcement.

Glock Gen3: Obsolete Relic Or Timeless Classic?

July 12, 2016 by David Donchess 1 Comment

After Glock released their 4th Gen, there were questions about whether or not this meant that the Glock Gen3 was obsolete.
