Glock 22

I found a great deal on a glock 22 I like the 40s&w myself but my girlfriend just started shooting(22's) and I think the 40 would be too much. If I replace the barrle & the mag can the 22 fire 9mm? And would the same apply to 357sig? That way she gets a toy and I get 2!

    Hello,
    I own a Glock Model 22 that is rare. It is a one of one stamped with the
    Arkansas Fish and Game Commission logo. The serial number starts with AFW. I
    am having trouble finding out what it is worth. Could you help?
    Thanks

    Why isnt the Glock 22 very popular, there are lots of bids for other Glocks, but almost none with the Glock 22, is something wrong with it?

    Here's a place to get started, although it is recommended that only a Glock certified Armorer should do the work and doing it yourself will void any warranty. www.glockmeister.com The Glock site should have a link to find an Armorer in your area or you can take the course yourself. www.glock.com [This message has been edited by oneshy (edited 03-02-2002).]

    I'm not quite sure which piece that is, but Glocks are built so simply that it isn't hard to figure out. I know how to take aprt the slide and rear portion of the reciever in it's entirety, but not the trigger itself.... yet

    I have seen the Glock armorer manuals on sale here before. Even if it is an old one, the info is the same. By the way, the spring you are referring to is a trigger return spring. It has no effect on the trigger pull. On Glocks, the trigger pull weight is determined by the angle of the connector bearing surface on the trigger bar assembly. Take your Glock apart and look at the trigger and the assembly that is attached to it. As you pull the trigger back, notice how it hits the angled part of the connector. This angle determines the trigger pull. Glock standard connectors have no mark, and are about 5 lbs. Ones marked with a "+" are about 8 lbs. Ones marked with a "-" are about 3.5 lbs. The so called "NY" triggers are a 5 or 8 lb connector with the trigger return spring removed from the pistol and a plastic wedge assembly inserted in it's place. Including the connector, the trigger bar assembly now has to compress the plastic wedge, resulting in a 10-13 lb triger pull depending on connector (5 or 8). If you want a lesser trigger pull, get a 3.5 connector and give it a dose of high tech lube on the bearing surfaces.

    I went to my local gun shop a few weeks ago and one of the gents working there took one down all the way. Went home and did the same thing in under 5 minutes. I don't know much about guns, but I do know that the glock is probably the easiest gun to take apart. all you need is a punch to remove the pins, and remember where everything goes. not much science to it. might want to go to a gun shop with a smile and ask one of the folks working there. they might be able to show you how to do it.
