I owned a G-22 once. Dropped a 40 S&W into the barrel, rattled it a bit, and then sold the gun. Decided that stretched brass reloads was the reason the guns have ammo "catastrophic failures" -- as in brass rupture.
What they have done in the 40 slide is they went to a dual recoil spring. To take some more of the snap out of the the slide. They have been finding that if you put a heavy tac light on the older springs cause malfuntions. Plus one should change the older recoil springs out at about 3000 rounds.
In the frame they added a reverisable mag latch exchangeable back straps. And a differant finish on the frame to make gripping better.
The mag they went to a 11 coil spring instead of a 10 coil to also help with feeding awith tec lights and change the area for the latch catch to take the reverisable latch.
Over all I found to be positive changes.
I own glocks from the frist model to gen 3 models. I belive these changes are for the better. Not that the older ones don't work but any good manufactors is always tring to improve their products.
