    Glock 23 (40 cal)

    So I bought a nice used glock 23 (40 caliber) and I just love the way they feel in my hand and shooting it is nice because it has power and I find it comfortable. I am wondering if its a good gun to carry in armed security or police work? Do any of you carry it? I hear its good as a side arm and due to it being compact, it makes a good hide away weapon as well.

    How do you all feel about this particular firearm?

    I have been carrying my G-23 in .40 since the late 90's. Back then , we had a choice as to what Glock we wanted and I chose the 23 because it fit my hand better. Today I wouldn't have that same choice ( have to get a 22) but I can keep my 23 and I,ll get it when I retire.

    I am quite happy with my 23.

    Guns are like women, cars and ice cream. Everyone has their own favorites of each.

    Norm should be along shortly to mock your toy and espouse the grandeur that is the revolver.
    Of every one hundred men, ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the One... One of them is a Warrior... He will bring the others back.

    Norm still lives in a world where everyone is a wheelgunner. Occasionallly he has a stroke of reality and is awakened to the fact that his ilk is diminishing ( like the people who have 8 tracks).

    I have one and I like it. If I had to choose though, I would probably go with my XD 9mm. I love that little gun.

    Do you find the 23 concealable with maybe an IWB holster? I am struggling with getting a 23 or a 27. I was going to create a new post about it.

    I find there is not enough space between the "waist" and the "band" but I think that's a different problem.
