Oh ignorant youth, the world is not a joyous place. The time has come for you to dispense with the frivolous pleasures of childhood and get down to honest toil until you are sixty-five. Then and only then can you relax and collect your social security and live happily until the time of your death!

Meh. A late entry into an already crowded market. There are other 22 pistols I would prefer over a Glock at the same price point anyway.

I have an Advantage Arms conversion for my G17 and I run Blazer through it and it is extremely reliable. Great for plinking. I wish I could get 15 round mags for it. I would probably not buy this Glock but it does have some appeal to me.

There's validity in practicing with a .22 for ease of use (less fatigue) and lower ammo cost.  Having a Glock with the same mechanical functionality, similar feel, and Glock reliability (assuming it does) is a great training tool.

These advantages are reasons .22 conversion kits for full-size Glocks may be popular.

If practice with a no-recoil laser system builds muscle memory, better control skills and the familiarity of the "feel" of the pistol in your hand without expending ammo, a .22 is a step up, adding the mechanical practice of loading, reloading, clearing any malfunctions, etc.

Ive seen improvement with rifle  shoting a CLE conversion but Im not seeing the same results in pistol using a Nelson 1911 conversion. I think grip is more profound in shooting a 1911 bullseye style.
Contemplating a SCATT Basic which can be used live and dry fire

I can't tell you if it;'s you or the gun, but learning to use a .22 focusing on the basics will have an impact on your overall improvement.

Of course, as you master the basics, improvement tied to individual skill will taper off.  Then it's more about ability (talent), performance (particularly in competition) and equipment.

Maybe you've peaked with your handgun skills and can't get any better?   :rofl:

I carried a RX-22( PPK clone) in 22 Cal as a concealed carry gun for many years.
I was surprised that it wasn't totally shot out as I put so many rounds through it
over the years( in practice of course)  You could not miss with that gun.
I also had a Ruger "standard"  that was more accurate but not suitable for
conceal carry.  It too was quite worn.
If you are going to shoot 22 ammo buy a 22, don't take a larger frame pistol
and shoot "little" bullets through it, thinking you can practice more and cheaper,
when you really plan to carry 9mm or 45 ACP, medium and large frames.

I have a 22 conversion kit for my G19 as well as a Umarex G19 clone that shoots BBs.  I use that a lot for draw, point (without aiming) and shoot practice from 3 to 5 yards. Cost only a penny per shot and it is surprisingly powerful.  There was a duck that would sit and shit on my catchment tank cover.  I used the Umarex to chase it way, but instead it keeled over.  The little BB gun killed the stupid duck.

My boss used to live PC or Aiea. For 2 weeks this rooster was waking him up like 4 in the morning. He bought a cheap BB pistol at Walmart. He lived in an HOA controller neighborhood. So he couldn’t just go outside and kill the rooster. So he cut a hole in his screen and waited for the rooster to pass by. Once he saw it he shot it. It jumped a bit but was still standing. So he shot again. And again. He finally figured out they were bouncing off of it. And one hit his neighbors window. Ooooooops!!! The rooster eventually went away but he couldn’t believe the BB’s just bounced off of it.

Watching a more detailed video of the Glock and apparently it can be dry fired without damage!!!
