In 2015 the FBI announced that they would be making the change back to the 9mm round. Police departments and government agencies all over America phased out their 40s for 9s and surplus Glock 22’s and 23’s flooded the market. Seeing low prices on sites like Gunbroker where gen 4 Glock 22’s are selling for $340, and 23’s are going for $450 meant the it was possible to get a great pistol at an amazing price. Since the boom of the .40 cal guns it was almost impossible to not know somebody shooting one. With that of course the price and availability of .40s&W went up. Sites like Freedom Munitions sell their .40s&W at .23 cents a round, where the 9mm falls in at just around .19 cents.
With out getting into the pros and cons of shooting .40 vs 9mm, lets just agree that some people like different shit. I’m sure you don’t want to hear about how case pressure, over vs under penetration, and perceived recoil makes one round better or worse than the other. Let’s just talk about cost effective shooting, and turning your more expensive habit into a cheaper one.
S3F solutions began as a whim from one devoted shooter and ex Army vet being told he could never start a business. Tired of finding faults in existing firearms companies and the products they sold, Chris Naganuma set out to create a company based on what he’d do differently. With multiple sponsored 3gunners , a range program focused on helping others succeed, S3F is looking to leave a very large footprint. We at Tactical Shit want to get to you the best, highest recommended, and cost effective conversions for your GLOCK 22 and 23.
