Actually the G23 (.40S&W) magazines will load/feed .357sig rounds quite well but you can't have too many magazines.So what I did was buy a drop in Glock 32 barrel and two G32 magazines. Instant .357 SIG Glock! .357sig ammo never dried up around here. Kept me going bang,bang.
could you modify to shoot 10mm auto using the same mags and a different barrel?

While at Barnes & Noble, I breezed throughHey man, I don't have that kind of wear on either of mine! They have been well used too. I don't think that's normal. Maybe call glock again and speak to a different person. Something is out of spec IMHO.
wait...your reconsidering buying a new 3rd or 4th gen glock (with an out standing law enforcement and private carry track record) because of a very small problem like that???... its in my opinion a non issue anyway, because it doesn't effect the weapons function...Mas49.56 wrote:While at Barnes & Noble, I breezed throughHey man, I don't have that kind of wear on either of mine!

The Gun Digest Book of the Glock, 2nd Edition,and this problem is apparently not uncommon. Now I'm reconsidering my choice of weapon.
I just now field stripped my primary carry G23 to examine this part indicated in the picture and my 3G G23 has no such "damage" or flaw. And further examination does not seem to indicate how, why, or where this sort of damage might result from during the cycling of the slide.Mas49.56 wrote:While at Barnes & Noble, I breezed throughHey man, I don't have that kind of wear on either of mine!

The real beauty of the G23 is its size and weight, its round capacity, and the fact that it makes use of a very serious big bore pistol caliber. Couple this with its simplicity and well-deserved reputation of reliability and you have yourself a near perfect defensive sidearm.The current issue sidearm for FBI field agents is the G23, paired with Speer Gold Dot 165gr.
The compact GLOCKs seem to be the do-it-all firearm. Large enough for uniformed duty/open carry, small enough for concealed carry, light enough to carry all day long, sufficient capacity for their size, handle & shoot like a "full-size," and are reliable enough to bet your life on.
Each time I venture from my 'tupperware ways' I'm quickly reminded that I can get the same capacity out of a mid-size GLOCK and it's alot easier to carry, etc... so I always venture back.
911Boss, said it well, dollar for dollar, a GLOCK is hard to beat.
