Understanding the GLOCK Rebuilt Advantage: Quality, Value, and Performance

When considering a firearm, terms like "new," "used," and "rebuilt" carry significant weight. A "rebuilt" GLOCK, such as the GLOCK 22 Gen5 .40 S&W 15-Round (UPC: 764503048135), represents a unique proposition. These pistols are typically factory-certified reconditioned units that have undergone rigorous inspection, component replacement, and testing to ensure they meet original factory specifications for safety, function, and reliability. This means you're acquiring a firearm that performs like new but at a significantly more accessible price point.

Choosing a rebuilt GLOCK offers several compelling benefits:

• Exceptional Value: You gain access to a cutting-edge Gen5 GLOCK pistol, renowned for its modern features and enhancements, at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new model. This allows you to allocate more of your budget to ammunition, training, or essential accessories.
• GLOCK Reliability, Reaffirmed: Every rebuilt GLOCK undergoes thorough quality assurance processes. This isn't just a simple cleaning; it's a comprehensive overhaul that guarantees the firearm adheres to GLOCK's stringent performance and safety standards, providing the same peace of mind as a new purchase.
• Sustainable Choice: Opting for a rebuilt firearm contributes to a more sustainable consumption model, extending the lifecycle of high-quality products.
• Proven Performance: You're investing in a pistol built on decades of GLOCK's reputation for ruggedness, simplicity, and effectiveness, now combined with the latest ergonomic and mechanical improvements of the Gen5 series.

This makes the GLOCK 22 Gen5 Rebuilt an ideal choice for anyone seeking a top-tier firearm that balances premium features with intelligent financial stewardship.

The Powerhouse Caliber: Why the .40 S&W Matters

The .40 S&W cartridge, first introduced in 1990, was designed to bridge the gap between the 9mm Luger and the .45 ACP, offering a potent combination of manageable recoil and significant stopping power. For decades, it served as a primary service cartridge for countless law enforcement agencies across the United States, attesting to its effectiveness in critical situations.

• Balanced Performance: The .40 S&W delivers greater kinetic energy and momentum than the 9mm, leading to more immediate energy transfer upon impact, while still offering higher magazine capacities than most .45 ACP platforms. This makes it an excellent choice for self-defense and duty applications where reliable incapacitation is crucial.
• Versatility: While often associated with law enforcement, the .40 S&W is highly versatile for civilian use, whether for home defense, target shooting, or concealed carry (though the full-size G22 may be less ideal for deep concealment, it shines in open carry or holster carry scenarios).
• Proven Track Record: Its extensive use by professionals speaks volumes about its reliability and effectiveness in high-stress environments.

When you wield a GLOCK 22 Gen5 in .40 S&W, you're commanding a formidable combination of firearm engineering and ballistic prowess.

Key Features and Advanced Ergonomics of the Gen5 Platform

The GLOCK Gen5 series represents the pinnacle of GLOCK's design evolution, incorporating numerous enhancements aimed at improving accuracy, durability, and user-friendliness. The GLOCK 22 Gen5 Rebuilt integrates these innovations seamlessly, offering a superior shooting experience:

• GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB): This precision-machined barrel features enhanced rifling and a revised crown, leading to improved accuracy across various ammunition types. For competitive shooters and those prioritizing precise shot placement, the GMB is a significant advantage.
• nDLC Finish: The GLOCK 22 Gen5 features GLOCK's nDLC (nitride diamond-like carbon) finish on both the slide and barrel. This incredibly durable and corrosion-resistant finish provides superior protection against wear, scratches, and environmental elements, ensuring the pistol maintains its integrity and appearance even under harsh conditions.
• Flared Mag-Well: The subtly flared magazine well at the base of the grip facilitates faster and more secure magazine insertions, particularly critical in high-stress scenarios where every second counts. This feature significantly enhances reload speed and consistency.
• Ambidextrous Slide Stop Lever: Catering to both left and right-handed shooters, the ambidextrous slide stop lever ensures intuitive and rapid manipulation of the slide, making the GLOCK 22 Gen5 truly ambidextrous in operation. This is a key ergonomic improvement for a wider range of users.
• Absence of Finger Grooves: A popular design choice among many shooters, the Gen5 models remove the traditional finger grooves on the grip. This allows for a more natural and comfortable grip for a broader spectrum of hand sizes, enhancing overall ergonomics and shooting comfort, especially during extended range sessions.
• Modular Backstrap System (MBS): The GLOCK 22 Gen5 comes with interchangeable backstraps, allowing users to customize the grip size to perfectly fit their hand. This modularity ensures optimal control and comfort, reducing felt recoil and improving shooting performance.
• Safe Action® System: The core of GLOCK's safety philosophy remains intact. The Safe Action® System incorporates three independent mechanical safeties (trigger safety, firing pin safety, and drop safety) that disengage sequentially as the trigger is pulled and automatically re-engage when the trigger is released. This provides a constant layer of safety without requiring manual external safeties.

These Gen5 enhancements, combined with the GLOCK 22's full-size frame, provide a stable and controllable platform for the .40 S&W cartridge, leading to reduced muzzle flip and quicker follow-up shots.
