| | The introduction of the .40 caliber cartridge was a revelation to the law enforcement and self-defense community. Never before in the history of small arms has a single cartridge caught on so quickly, and never before has a series of pistols been so sought after by police agencies and individuals. With the GLOCK 23, the size is reduced somewhat for easier concealment, but the performance is still on a level of a serious big bore. These pistols are so impressive that the FBI recently adopted them for issue. |  |  | | Would you recommend this gun? |  | Yes

by Yahoo Answers: | → | →Glock 23 vs Glock 27? | | 2007-09-20 17:37:22 | | I am strongly considering between one of these.
My first question is regarding magazine capacity. Glock lists magazine capacity as:
Glock 23 (compact): standard 9, optional 15/17
Glock 27 (subcompact: (standard 13, optional 11/13/15/17
So can both load a single magazine of 17 rounds? What is the difference between the standard and "optional" magazines?
Is there any benefit to the "C" version model?
Why would you choose one version over the other? Can't the 23 be easily concealed? Do the 23 and 27 deliver the same firepower?
Lastly, how much different is the recoil from a .40 S& W compared to both the 9 mm and .45 models? (I am a guitarist and do not want to overabuse my hands and wrists).
Thanks a lot! | | Answered By: Mad Town Ghost |  |
| | Glock 27's grip is way too large around. |  |
| → | →Glock 23 options? | | 2007-10-16 21:50:21 | | I'm about to invest in a Glock 23, but I don't know which features to go with. I've never owned a gun before and I'm mainly purchasing the Glock as a carry/defense weapon, but I'd also like to do some recreational shooting, possibly competitive if I get into it. Fixed or adjustable sight? Night sight? Glock 23 or 23C (what's the difference? I know it's compensated, but for what?) Also, what are some thoughts on reloads - I've been reading about kB problems with Glocks using reloads - anybody had this happen? | | Answered By: old fuzz |  |
| | You've picked a decent carry gun. The night sights are a good option.
The compensator on the "C" model helps reduce barrel flip during recoil. I don't recommend this on a carry gun. The compensator increases noise and muzzle flash.
As far as competition goes, you are at a very slight disadvantage with the shorter barrel of the 23. However, a little practice can turn this into an advantage. The smaller gun is quite handy if moving through obstacles, such as you might find in IPSC competition.
Fixed sights are best on a carry gun, one less thing to snag your shirt as you draw. Adjustable sights are great if you fire a lot of different bullet weights and velocities thru the gun. If you are going to stick with, say, a 165 gr. hollow point or full metal jacket round, you won't really need the adjustable sight. If you were going to be plinking with a 155 gr. round, carry the 165 gr round, and use 180 gr round in competition, then you want an adjustable sight.
Reloads are fine in the gun. Like all semi auto pistols, the load needs enough power to function the slide efficiently. Stick to loads no less than about 900 fps and you should be fine. I believe Glock still recommends no lead rounds thru the gun. Stick to jacketed rounds. | |
| → | →Do you recommend Glock 23? | | 2007-07-14 09:22:25 | | Hi guys,
I am imagining myself as an owner of a liquer store, and I need a good defense side arm.
What would be your choice of the handgun?
My choice would be a Glock 23, which fires .40 S&W rounds. But first of all, does this round fire as accurate as 9mm?
I want to hear your experiences, and opinions.
The reason for choosing the Glock 23 is the .40 caliber has good balance between the recoil and size. Also, Glocks have very good reputation of being excellently reliable and accurate.
Do you recommend anything else?
Or should I stick to the Glock 23?
Any of your opinions are welcomed.
Please feel free to tell me your experiences.
Thanks in advance. | | Answered By: Maker |  |
| | The Glock 23 is an awesome gun. You have picked an excellent weapon. The .40, .45, and 9mm all have acceptable accuracy from the Glock design. And contrary to the above post accuracy is always important! You can't shoot someone in the toe with a .45 and incapacitate them. You must be able to shoot high center mass (highest hit probability) or to the center mass of the head (instant incapacitation). The .40 is a great round and holds a bit more ammo than the .45. You want to have lots of ammo, hopefully you won't need it, but you want to keep affecting the targets ability to shoot back by denying him the opportunity or by disrupting his central nervous system.
The simplicity, reliability, low bore axis and quick trigger reset make it a great gun.
There is a tendency for some shooters to shoot low and left if right handed. This is not the gun... Keep practicing, get help from other shooters (realizing that a lot of people think they know about guns and only a few do) and you will become proficient. Take some gun handling classes and practice what they teach you.
Practice shooting at 3yds, 7yds, 10yds, 15 yds, 25 yds, and further. Practice one handed, two handed, strong hand, weak hand, practice your draw, take gun safety classes train and learn. Practice accurate shooting, fast shooting, fast/accurate shooting, low light shooting, retention techniques. Get into USPSA or IDPA they will help your shooting technique. Always remember you were good yesterday, but today you have more to learn.
Again great choice. The 23 is a good mix between concealability, control, rounds, and caliber. You won't be disappointed. Congratulations. | |
| → | →Glock 23 VS. Glock 27?? | | 2007-07-10 21:12:19 | | I only recently (within the last six months) purchased a Glock 22.. and I have to say, I friggin' love it. The only problem that I have with her is that she's a little too big to carry concealed. As such, I've started looking at smaller versions of the .40 cal. (i.e. - the 23 or the 27) I haven't had a chance to test fire either, but I am curious to see what other people prefer. | | Answered By: Dylan |  |
| | I myself am not a GLOCK person, but I have shot several. I thought that the G27 was too small and was a little uncomfortable for me to shoot. The G23 is slightly bigger and feels much better to hold. If you were going to use it as a CC weapon, the G27 would be a better choice, if it fits you that is, because of the smaller size and lighter weight. If it is too small for your tastes the G23 isn't a bad choice. Out of those two I like the GLOCK 23 better, but only because it feels better to use. The G23 and G27 are both great weapons for concealed carry, pick which one fits you the best. | |
| → | →Glock 23 owners? | | 2007-12-17 04:21:42 | | I was talked out of the S&W MP.40 purchase, so what are the the opinions of Glock 23 owners? I will be renting one at the range to test fire this week, just wanted some opinions. | | Answered By: gretsch16pc | |
| | I am a Lifetime Member of GSSF (Glock Sport Shooting Foundation) and own 3 Glocks, 2-G35s and a G23. My Christmas list included a New G27 (Subcompact), and FYI all of the above are .40s I own alot of handguns and the Glocks at on the top of favorites right out of the box. They are my pick for work and the choice of many around the World. | |
| → | →glock model 23? | | 2007-01-31 18:38:50 | | I;m purchasing a glock 23 and I want to know How much kick can I expect from it? | | Answered By: Jack Skelington | |
| | 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. | |
