Me, I'll be in the market for a new or nice used Glock 22 when I get back to the states in March. I just love the modularity of the Glock platform in this model where you can add a .357 Sig barrel (and use the .40 S&W magazines) and even get a 9mm barrel (and use G19 magazines). Three guns in one and two out of the three calibers are among the most common in America today. Not a bad combo for SHTF scenarios. As a handloader, I expect to keep my shooting costs down. Too bad the Glock rifling is generally not good for cast bullets. I also plan to explore the .40 S&W as a subsonic round to use with a supressor. I love my .45s, but this looks like a fun deal for me in my retirement.
