Hello everyone,
I hope you can share some insight for me.
I am in the application process for Atlanta PD and have made it a pretty good way through. Currently I am just waiting for them to finish up contacting my references and within the next 2-3 weeks will be receiving an offer letter. If all goes well, I will be scheduled for the academy set in November.
I am a pretty good shot and enjoy shooting. My current firearm is an XDS .45 single stack. I am not very familiar with Glock pistols. I have shot them a few times but not enough to be comfortable. My plan is once given an offer letter from Atlanta PD, I want to purchase a Glock and start practicing with it before I head to the academy.
Atlanta recently changed to the Glock 22 Gen4. I have found the 22 Gen3 for a much cheaper price then the Gen4.
My questions:
-Is there a noticeable difference in the Gen4 and the Gen3? What are they?
-Does the price difference justify a pre-owned Gen3 or a new Gen4 (About $150-200)?
-A friend of mine suggested that I purchase a 9mm Glock vs the 22 .40cal for practice. He believes that for training purposes, I will get the same feel/reaction/control of a .40 at the range with a 9mm. I am of the mindset that I should train with what I will be carrying. Thoughts?
I look forward to your responses! Thanks.
