g22 for a g19?
glockjeeper,
I have seriously considered trading my g22 for a g17/19. However, my reasons are different. I'm not worried about the kabooms. What I was a little more concerned about was reloading the brass that the g22 spits out. Upon inspection I have found that the brass is more of an oblonged shape after ejection. Also, since I'm still in college I can't afford to shoot .40S&W as much as 9mm. By the time I put 1k rounds of .40S&W downrange, I could have put 2k rounds of 9mm down the tube of my gun(s).
This seems to be more of a personal decision and my input is probably null & void. However, I would recommend that you keep the g22 and shoot factory ammo. I see nothing wrong with shooting reloads, just as long as you follow load specifications and are a seasoned reloader.
My reason(s) for trading a g22 are completely different than yours. I'd trade for economical reasons. I won't trade due to fear of kabooms unless I actually see one in person, or if there is valid test documentation that proves that my/your/our g22s are very susceptible to kabooms.
In other words, I elaborated on what I could've summed up in a single sentence.
Do what you feel most comfortable with.
I definately know this didn't help,
Jim
