I;m purchasing a glock 23 and I want to know How much kick can I expect from it?

If the Glock 23 is the first pistol you have owned you are going to develop bad shooting habits. Primarily having to do with expectation of recoil such as flinching. If you can get a .22LR conversion kit it will allow you to master the aiming and firing techniques without picking up unwanted habits and allow you to target shoot for cheap. Then when needed you can reinstall the .40 barrel and slide. Overall it is a fine pistol, not one I would buy but still good quality.

I have a Glock 23. With light bullets, 155 grain or less, it doesn't hardly kick, but with the 190 grain ones I normally shoot it cam bruise you hand after a few shots if you don't grip it tight. Just remember that the harder it kicks, the harder it hits...

Depends on the round you are using, but it's not bad at all. Make sure you practice a lot and the recoil becomes something you don't think about.

Not much at all. Yeah it's a light gun but it makes no difference. Give yourself 300-500 rounds and you'll be able to control it. If for some reason you can't stand it, there's recoil buffers that you can buy for $20 which will decrease its felt recoil by about 20%.

nice. i just bought one about a week ago and it it pretty cool.if you want i can send you a video of me shooting it as well as my AK 47. in the video i was shooting it one handed at a faast rate but it might give you an idea. if you want less recoil put a compensator or buy a glock 23c which has one built in. if you want to see a video email me at domicorb3000@yahoo.com

Not much as far as recoil goes. But that also depends on what your used to. If you've never fired a handgun before you could develop a serious bad habit such as flinching or slapping(jerking)the trigger etc. If your new to shooting I would suggest you buy some snap caps to practice dry firing your glock at home(After you make sure it is unloaded by ejecting the magazine and locking the slide to the rear to verify that the chamber is empty) Insert the snap caps into the magazine and then you can safely dry fire your Glock. Its not the same as shooting live ammo but dry firing costs nothing. The results can be very rewarding.
