As usual, I liked the capacity and size vs the 45 and 9. Do I double down and buy more 40s compact and large size or do I give in and get the trade in for a 19 and build up my 9mm inventory? Just get one of those and you keep the option to go back to. Just make sure to mark you 9mm and. Also yes, I would personally pivot away from. And if panic buying round 2 happens, you always have the alternative to switch your 23 back to.
You have strong wrists. Use them. Keep shooting. They make conversion barrels aa for selling. I have gotten to the point where i dont sell firearms unless i absolutely must for bills. I sold my just because i wasnt shooting it much and i regret that decision a lot as i lost money on it and to get another of what i had i will loose even more money on it as they went up in price some.
You can also run sig if you can find the drop in barrel for that too and the 40 mags work with sig so your 23 can be a 3 in one if you really want to. Who cares what people hate on. If you like the gun and shoot it well, keep it and to hell with 9mm. The plus side of. My accuracy tripled and my rate of fire doubled almost!!! Those who worry about round count, carry a spare.
Actually carry the full size 15 rd spare. By the time you get to reloading in a self defense situation, you will not care that it sticks out the bottom a little bit!!! I keep a 32 rd spare in my vehicle too. I have had my first I have 3 Glock 23 since and just recently rebuilt it new springs etc … not because of any problems, but because it is my carry pistol and I had a solid 7, rounds through it at the range. About a yr ago I was shooting my steel targets from about 10 yds.
Then when my 9mm mags were empty I swapped to the original barrel…. Ever since that my 9mm vs 40 debate was over!!! I just try to practice. Changes include:. Improving perfection is hard but these modifications makes the. A few months ago I bought a Glock 27 after shooting a friends. I have really enjoyed it.
For whatever reason this little hand cannon makes me grin. On shoot ability, I went to the range yesterday with my Nano and G The Nano has been a disappointment for me since I like Berettas. It is harder for me to handle the Nano 9mm than the G27 in. I see so many complaining about the recoil of the. Its not a problem for me. I dont think its going to matter in a self defense situation.
If you need more than 13 shots you are outnumbered and probably going to die anyway right? The 9mm is a good round dont get me wrong. I just prefer bigger. Its the same reason most 9mm guys wouldnt carry a. I had a glock 22 for quite awhile and decided to step down in size for concealed carry. I went to two different gun shops in town and asked each shop owner what he recommended. No point to this, just FYI. Years ago, I started my collection with a Ruger P89, which for me was quite unreliable.
It jammed up 1 or 2 times every mag! Enter the That was everything and a bag of chips, until a friend handed me a G23 to try. Never looked back! So I realize there are some very experience people leaving comments. Went to get a concealed weapon and did a lot of research. Almost went with the 19 gen4 but after reading and talking to people I went with the Glock23 gen 4. What a nice weapon! And if I want a 9MM It can be changed over easily and cheaply!!
I see a lot of comments about the price of ammunition. My take on that is I will spend a couple more dollars to make them drop on the first shot than worry if they get a shot off at me!!
Love my Glock 23 Gen 4 buy one and you will also. I wish to purchase a fire arm for home protection. I have been reading about Glocks and such…. Daniel, Congratulations on the decision to purchase a firearm! The 9mm round has a smaller diameter and may not eject spent casings reliably. I have been shooting 9mm out of my G22 and G23 for about a year now without a hitch and never changed anything but the barrel and magazine without a hitch or a failure to eject FTE.
However, it is a good tip for other to consider in case they are having an issue. Joe, I did not realize that you should swap the ejector as well. I have used my gen 2 G22 frame for well over 8 years with a 9mm conversion barrel and mags and it has never failed to eject a 9mm casing. After years of shooting this way I finally broke down and bought a G17 and noticed that the ejector was shaped differently.
Dumb luck I guess. No Ejector change needed! He told me to put a Stainless Recoil Spring in it, which I did. No more trouble! I now install Stainless Recoil Springs in all my pistols. Glock has made it clear that the Glock 19 and the Glock 23 have different ejectors for a reason.
Hence the different part numbers Glock and Glock I guess if you are going to use the firearm to plink around with at the range…Knock yourself out, but life or death situation I would strongly advise the you have the proper internal parts for the caliber being used. I am just trying to help. I also have a large collection of Glocks myself, almost in every caliber and actively carry Glocks on and off duty. Good luck and be safe.
Make mine 9. I could quote some physics but the 45 ACP boys long ago changed the argument to one that favors their cartridge and I see that is continued in this article.

Normally, a price differential this huge is due to the rarity or greater desire for the higher-priced gun OR just the opposite. After testing the same brands of gun in 9mm and.
Is a three or four round reduction in carry capacity worth the relatively useful but unpredictable increase in muzzle energy? The 10mm was supposed to be the answer to the underpowered duty rounds that the Miami PD carried.
BUT, more is not necessarily better. Seven 00 buckshot pellets vs a bucket full of birdshot will attest to that. More ammo in a lighter gun and lighter dual-mag pouch. When faced with multiple perps, there is strength in numbers — especially when those numbers are bad ass 9mm bullets. Thanks for explaining the price differences on Gun Broker, and all the other logic you wrote. I went over there and I see what you mean. I think you have gone a bit off topic.
Also the 9 mm round is more lethal in a carbine than a handgun, due to the longer barrel. But, back on topic the Glock 23 is hard to beat for the versatility of being able to use three different types of ammo including the 9 mm , and can be used for concealed carry. For home defense I have a 22 round magazines in 40 cal, and a 12 gauge shotgun. I love my Gen 4 Glock 23! Out of four people whom I spoke to about this redundant issue that work in the force, two of them use.
Reading the article is the same today as it was yesterday, I do agree. You need to place accurate and deadly force upon the target, regardless of repeated, exact shot placement and these Gov. The Glock 23 is my all time favorite followed by the Bersa Thunder tack driver. Tried a Glock 23 GEN four and instantly fell in love.

I own a Glock 17,19,20,21,22,23,32,and the new G40 all are great guns. The key to all hand guns and how the felt recoil is precieved is due to How good the shooter grips the gun A poor grip gives a greater precieved recoil a correct firm grip less! We took the 23 to the range on Tuesday and tried out my new interchangable SIG barrel.
It worked flawlessly using my 40 cal magazine. My son and I put about rounds downrange with it. There was a little more flash using the same white box ammo. We all tried the OEM glock 22 round for the 40 cal ammo, and again no issues. I am now looking forward to getting the 9 mm barrel, and magazines to try out as well.
What a great firearm! Put a 20lb spring in the Glock 23 and it is about as easy to shoot as the G19 with no reliablity issues. I put reflective tape on my old range targets bulls eyes so that it will light up when I hit my mark dead on.

You will save a ton on ammo, and can practice any time, or place. It comes in several calipers. I have the LT, and love it. The newere release with the beavertail backstraps reduce the flip.
I love mine, and have bought a SIG barrel for it, and plan to buy the 9 mm barrel in the near future. Why be limited to one Cal. And like you said, why not have 3 different calibers for a little more than dollars in everything….
I do have the LaserLyte 40 Cal training cartridge, and love to train with it between trips to the range. I have multiple old range targets taped up throughout my property, and use them to train while moving about the property.
I change them around regularly, and approach them from differnt angles using available cover. Western Revolver-9mm, at my renewal, I used a Glock 27, with an extended grip, increased rounds from ! Mainly increased the stock size for my large hand, and now is quite comfortable for me! Recently got another for my wife, also a CCL holder, for her to qualify with next time.
Do really like the 40 better than the 9, for me at least. She will still have the 9! Forget the caliber. So is the , but that is another subject. What am I missing?

One time I had 12 of them. Down to 4 now. Model 27 23 22 and a 17 just to use 9mm ammo. The facts speak for themselves. I used to carry a G19 but decided to step it up to the G23 after alot of research on both guns.
True there is more recoil in the G23 but there is more knock down power that comes along with that recoil. But with training I made the move to getting rid of the 9mm all together and carry the 40cal Glock on my side and another 40 on my ankle everyday. Shoot straight and stay safe. Knock down power has been disproven. Shot placement is 1, quick follow up shots are 2.
It has been proven that in real world wound ballistics there is little difference between the 9mm -. Those are facts established from years of scientific testing and evaluations of actual shootings.
You can feel a certain way but the facts are the facts. You must be in the Phx area as I am. Lone Wolf co. It was a St. They have done 2 trigger jobs for me, and I like that they are dedicated to Glocks.

I have seen an increase in velocity, FP and penetration. I think you have convinced me. So thanks for the info!

I managed to get 38 rounds through it no jams before the shooting range closed down with a rain and wind storm. My 1st take on the barrel is that there were more shots on target, in the black, than with my stock barrel. My gun is still very unforgiving if I have a nervous or impatient hand.
Still, with the way everything went down, my first impression is that I have made an excellent investment, and the long barrel is staying in the gun permanently. I have a Glock 29 if I need something more concealable in 10mm. I do have a.
The average civilian would be just as well armed with a 22lr than a 45 acp given the fact that the confrontations are overwhelmingly within a 12 foot engagement scenario.
