"That's funny Indy because I carry the 23C as a duty weapon. I was issued the 22 in my last dept but it was just a little big for my hand. I found perfection in the 23. I do admit that it bucks a little harder then the rest.......All are great guns in the Glock family though"


I have a G23C also. I catch alot of flack form others because it is compensated. I'm surprised you are able to carry a "C" model as a duty weapon. There is so much emphasis placed on them not being good carry weapons that I have second guessed my reasoning for buying one in the first place.

There was a terrible article published by a well known and respected author in a well known firearm publication not too long ago where he bashed the C models for LE useage. There was even a few pics of a t-shirt that was "suposedly" burned and torn by the debris flying from the ports as the gun was fired in a close to torso shooting situation.

I thought the pics looked rediculous. The powder burns looked like coal that had been rubbed on. You could even see the stress on in the tears where they had been pulled with fingers. It really made me think twice about the legitimacy of the author.

Since I bought the c model, I have had the opportunity to shoot a plain slide and barreled model side by side with my c model. There was a noticable difference in recoil, though not that much. Like you, I too have found perfection with my G23C, and as of yet can find no fault in it. Hopefully I'll never have to look directly down at the ports with my eyes wide open while shooting it. Chad
