Does anyone here own a Glock 23 compact model? I have an opportunity to by one for $400 and would like to know if it is worth that much and how people like it.

Don't have a 23 but have carried a Glock for 10 years, that is about an average price for a used one, if its new jump on it, can't go wrong with Glock for a reliable gun.

Fordman4ever · 05-04-2013, 01:51 PM

Its fairly new. Probably not even had 300 rounds through it.

If I wanted something in 40, that's a good buy for sure.

I have a 23. Nice little gun. I did use it for concealed carry until I moved out of Colorado.

My advice, if you haven't done so yet, is head to your gun store and hold a 23 in your hands. Make sure it fits and feels good in your hands, both of them if this going to be your CC. Also, as you know its a .40 which can be a bit snappy in this size but I dig it. I love my Glocks but they fit my hands well. My buddy only shoots Sigs, cause they fit his hands better. Calls my Glocks plastic toys.

Lots of 3rd party accessories and parts galore for Glocks. Easy to work on/clean and they flat shoot everything I have put through them. They still shoot when dirty too. .40 ammo isn't the cheapest but lots of it out there. Easy to reload too.

$400 seems like a good price to me, especially if it comes with a couple of mags, etc. Unless the person has upgraded, it will most likely come with 2 mags and a lock. If you could shoot it prior then that would be best. It's a very solid weapon and I trusted it daily. I like the power of .40 and magazine capacity is nice. You might want to research what generation it is. Not a huge deal but nice to know.

Just ordered my stripped dpms upper all the ar15 tools and vice thing for the upper/barrel. Also scored 1250 .355 rounds for reloading and 2pounds of winchester wsf powder. It was a good day!

Oh yea.. 100 rounds of .223 and 3 ar15 mags too.. damn slopes are all just as slippery as the last!

Its a 4th gen and it has only had around 250 rounds through it. my buddy is building an AR and needs the money. It comes with 3 mags, cleaning rod, back strap holster, and a hard case. It was purchased brand new last august. I think I'm getting a pretty good deal.

Depends on how fast you want it built I guess, $40 for instant gratification is ok in my book
