How We Calculate Used Glock 22 Values

A Glock 22’s value is affected mainly by its condition, variant or model, and accessories.

How We Appraise Glock 22 Models

The Glock 22 released in the 1990s, so the variants start at Gen 2. The Gen 3 and Gen 5 guns are still in production.

Take note that this also comes in sub-variants like the MOS (Modular Optic System) and 22C RTF2 (Rough Textured Frame 2).

Glock 22 Gen 2 Value

The average used Glock 22 Gen 2 is worth $170 to $300.

The original Glock 22, first introduced in the early 1990s as Glock’s full-size .40 S&W pistol. It quickly became a favorite among law enforcement agencies across the U.S.

Glock 22 Gen 3 Value

The average used Glock 22 Gen 3 is worth $140 to $350. A brand-new Glock 22 Gen 3 sells for $450 at retail.

Released in the early 2000s, the Gen 3 is the Glock 22 you’ll find in California. It features finger grooves on the grip, an accessory rail, and an updated extractor design.

Glock 22 Gen 3 RTF2 Fish Gills Value

The average used Glock 22 Gen 3 RTF2 is worth $240 to $500.

This has the same features as the Glock 22 Gen 3, just with the popular rough textured frame and the curved fish gills instead of the standard straight ones. Popular with Glock collectors.

This is a model that holds value well. Because it’s a premium firearm in the line, we use a secure gun shipping and buying system to ensure every transaction is fully insured and legally compliant.

Glock 22 Gen 4 Value

The average used Glock 22 Gen 4 is worth $160 to $360.

Introduced in 2010, the Gen 4 brought a dual recoil spring, improved grip texture, and interchangeable backstraps. It was built to better handle the snappier .40 S&W recoil and fit more hand sizes.

Glock 22 Gen 5 Value

The average used Glock 22 Gen 5 is worth $200 to $400. The brand-new Glock 22 Gen 5 costs $550.

The latest version of the Glock 22, released in 2021, the Gen 5 version removed the finger grooves and added a flared magwell, ambidextrous slide stop, and the Glock Marksman Barrel. It’s the most refined .40 S&W version to date.

Glock 22C Value

The average used Glock 22c is worth $320 to $440.

This is the compensated model of the Glock 22 that has cuts in the barrel and side (to reduce muzzle flip for better continuous firing).

How Accessories Affect What We Pay for Your G22

Having accessories can improve Glock 22 value sometimes, especially if they upgrade the gun.

Keep in mind that cerakotes or refinishes are less likely to add value, though. Most buyers aren’t interested in paying for refinished guns.

Original Tupperware Case

Glocks with the original Tupperware cases are preferred. The condition of the case matters too.

Value: Around $10 to $25 for the original “Tupperware” case.

Optics/Sights

A sight of good quality from a known brand can be attractive to some buyers. Forget it if it’s from an unknown manufacturer, though.

Value: Around 30% to 50% of the accessory’s original value.

Extra Magazines

Most buyers like an extra mag.

Value: Around $7 to $15 per 15-round mag.
