Want another glock

[The Unknown 1087]

So I am thinking of adding a Gen 4 Glock 23 to my collection with my G19 and 26.

Anyone have one? Do you like it? I never had a .40 before so it should interesting. I would be getting it with night sights.

I have also been checking out the Smith and Wesson M&P .40. is that bigger then the g23?

or is the M&P C the same size?

Why do want to add another caliber?

IIRC, M&Pc is 26/27 sized.

I want to pick up a 17 or 34.

my 26 is my favorite to carry, my 34 is my favorite to shoot with, and my 19 well it has a silencer on it...what do you think ! LOL Honestly I think the glock or the MP is a fine choice, while I do no like the .40 in any pistol really. But if you like the caliber either gun will do nicely!

Thanks for the replies, I don't know. I'm having that "i want another gun" feeling lol. I was going to pick up a Smith and Wesson .380 body guard for times when I cannot fully CC my G26. However I spotted a new G4 Glock 23 and it made me want it. I don't know why i want it in a .40 though. Just something new I guess.

Everyone I've talked to says the Gen 4 23 kicks like a little bitch. The 22 is much softer, but no-one I've talked to thinks the 23 shoots softer.

Just a heads up, might want to shoot one first.

Thanks I might have to try one out. If I dont get one I would like to get both my glocks night sights and maybe pick up that .380

if you like shooting 9,s going to the .40 is no big deal. recoil is not that big of a difference. my dad was never a fan of the glocks until he shot my gen 3 23. he thought it was one of the best shooting autos he has ever tried. keep in mind this man is 74 yrs. old, he could not miss with this gun. i have 8 glocks love them all, it has turned into a habit. if you want nite sites put on think about tru-glo,s tfo sites. tfo stands for tritium fiber optic, these are bright during the day as well as nite. you are looking at around 100$ installed. i know it is about a hour drive for you but check out rich at mechanicsburg ordnance he keeps them in stk. not to mention if he knows you want sites and your coming on a sat. you can get them changed out while you wait.

I've had a Gen 3 Glock 23 for a few years. They're a great gun. The compact size makes it easy to conceal, but the grip is still large enough to shoot comfortably. The .40 recoil is a little more snappy than a 9mm, but not really a problem.
