Glock 23 40 S&W

[mtscott]

Can someone tell me if this is a good gun? I can get one that has 200 rounds shot through it for $425.00. The gun looks new...

Thanks,
Mike

I had a Glock 23 way back when they first came out. Of all the guns I've owned, it was second only to the S&W 1076 for being unreliable. OTOH the Model 19, the 23's 9mm twin, never failed me and is, IMHO, the perfect size and weight for a defensive and general purpose carry gun.

They've clearly gotten whatever problems the Model 23 (unless mine was just a lemon, every company has their bad days) had fixed. Glocks have a rep as some of the most reliable, durable guns you can buy today, and many many police departments agree. Too bad they feel like a brick in my hand. Otherwise I'd still be buying Model 19s one after another if I managed to wear one out.

I have one and have had no problems with it. It fires everything I feed it.

The Model 23 was the second glock that I bought. I've easily run 2-3k though it a year for the last 3 years. I have yet to have to replace a part (other than magazines) and have had minimal problems. I currently use it as a CC/OC and would/do trust my life with it. That's a decent price for one. If I were looking to pick up another one I would easily jump on that deal.
Hope that helps ya.

great gun! it was my first pistol and I still use it for cc, it's got about 900 rnds through it (I shoot my 9mm more often because of ammo price)and have yet to see a failure. I would jump on it.

I already bought two G27's,you can go wrong with that one,I will say go for it!,in case one day you get bored of it it will never go down on price...

Can't go wrong with a Glock! I've had mine for almost a year and have not had any jams. It's a solid pistol. .40 is a nice calibre to go with as well. The price sounds decent...about $100 less than new. I'd get it! Get the Blackhawk holster for it and you'll be GOOD 2 GO! I CC with mine all the time.

Give this a shot.

Go for it! I've had mine for 12 years now after buying it used and used it for OC / CC and duty use. Never had a problem until someone loaded a mag full o nines into it but that's a whole other story... Sent it to Glock and it came back like brand new.

It was my first handgun, I have cc'd it for 2 years and have 3000 rounds through it. I just replaced the recoil spring ($5.00) because I was an idiot field stripping it.

I had an early model for about 2 years. I put about 3k of the cheapest nastiest crap ammo through it I could find and never had a misfire. I did have several squibs that dropped to the ground a couple feet out of the muzzle, but that was the ammo's fault, not the gun. It hurt when I sold it, but rent was due, and money was tight in college. I say go for it.
