Um....Why do you want comments about a gun you already own?

What are you looking do use your next pistol for? Carry? range only? 9mm, .45, 1911? service pistol? Help us, help you. :)

Without knowing your intentions I say get something in 9mm. Ammo prices are steadily going up and 9mm is cheaper then .40, .45 etc.

I used to own a G23 and loved the heck out of it. Foolishly I sold it. I now carry a SW9f and love it as well but it still is not the same as the g23.



Ditto on needing to know your requirements for your second pistol.

I own a Glock 23C with the ported barrel. I use it as my primary CC gun. I'm happy with it. Reliable, accurate, holds 13+1. Good sights. .40 cal recoil is pretty mild in my opinion. I bought it used and I don't think I've had any jams.

Funny thing. I had a Glock 23C(gen2) also, hated it!! too snappy, loud, unburned powder falling on me and I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it. :)

I have a Glock 23. For me it is the perfect size and weight, very accurate, and has been 100% reliable. Of 17 handguns I own, it is the one thatI have with me the most by far. I load it with Hornady TAP ammo.

I like my G23 a lot, I've had and carried many other pistols but its the one I feel most 'satisfied' with. I think i'm going to buy another one, why have one when you can have 2 for twice the price.:dude:
