Congratulations ! The G23 is an excellent weapon !!
Gluck, Gluck, Gluck 23, Gen 3 New to me
Just got back from a long weekend at a gunshow. It was cold. Kinda odd in south Texas, but it brings the crowds into the shows. Sold a few clunkers on Sat. I was ready to buy something.
This little gun came along in an odd way. A couple came by and looked at an old HiPoint 995 carbine in 9 mil that I had. They had looked all over the show for one and had only found the newer ones with the new type of stock. They were dead set on an old one cause they had one before and had to sell it. Problem was they did not have any $. Lady said she had a gun they had fired a few times and didn't use much. Wanted to know if I would swap, so I asked for it. It was a like new Gen 3 with all the stuff, in the box. They would sswap with me If I would cover their Thanksgiving dinner which would be a hundred bucks.O.K. Anyone else would have jumped on that.
I had to be a cheapo and offered the carbine and 50 bucks for the G23. Not enough for a good T-Day dinner. They settled for the carbine and 75 bucks with 2 mags. I COULD LIVE WITH THAT!!!!!!!
Never have owned one cause I am too cheap to buy a new one or even a nice used one. But this was an o.k. deal. It was like new, looked unfired, 2 mags.

Thanks guys. Got to go out and run 10 rounds through it just to gauge the sights a bit. Put 7 rounds on a standard P.V. pizza target and 7 yds using 180 gr. CCI Blazer. Gun shot just above POA like I prefer. It shot a bit to the left, but at combat ranges that would not matter much. Will adjust the windage a bit later. Put a few founds though some soda cans with it too.
Trigger seemed a bit stiffer than the Springer XD I just got, but more than adequate for shooting at combat ranges. It was a good bit lighter than my SW40VE.

Accurate right out of the box !
I was never a Glock fan either. I like the old school stuff like blue and walnut or nice stainless. But those guns are heavy to use as carry guns. Glocks have always been more expensive new or used than most of the others. And I am a cheap kinda guy too.
