I don't have a 22C model but I do have a 32C Glock in 357SIG. The 32C is the same frame as the G19. The C designates it is a compensated model.

Some will tell you the compensator will trash your night vision. I have not had that experience with mine. It is however extremely loud. It took awhile for me to shoot mine very accurately because of the excessive noise. Shooting under a roof overhead at the range it felt like someone pushing down on your body from the concussion.

Recoil was rather tamed and follow up shots quick. I would see no reason the 40 S&W would be much different. Mine is a Gen 3 Glock.

BTW the G22C is built on the same frame as the G17 9mm
