The slightly larger Glock 22 - so named for the number of bullets that its magazine can contain...

No, Ari, it isn't, and no, it doesn't. The model number is arbitrary and the standard magazine contains 15 cartridges, not bullets. It's numbered differently because it's a .40 S&W, not a 9mm like the model 19.

You'd figure a fellow who likes to flash logic terms around so much (improperly, as well) might have a bit more care with his premises.

While what you say is true of most Glock models, including the one used by Cho, I have read that the first Glock model, the G17, was named after the magazine capacity.
