Picked up a like new Gen 3 G23 today. Ordered an Alpha Wolf 9mm conversion barrel, an Ameriglo sight set, Ghost Edge 3.5 connector, and some G17 magazines for it just now. I'll stick it in a horsehide Crossbreed Supertuck and carry it a few days this week as a 40 to get a feel for how it will carry IWB for a 9.5 hour workday. Pictures soon...

Had an epiphany while walking the dogs this morning.. Turns out the pieces I'm changing out in my G23 are the standard parts I want changed out in all my Glocks..

Ran 50 round through the gun before I left the shop. At 25 feet it is the "Pick the Eye" gun that most Glocks are. The 3.5 pound Ghost Edge and a set of Ameriglo sights will help me shoot it better..

Give it a year or so and you likely can do just that. With so many agencies going back to the 9mm, I think we will finally see the like new trades pop up again in the market. I have a small pile of 19s. I usually grab them from $350-400

Our store literally has crates full of Gen 3 G23s. They currently Sell for $333. Based on what I remember from the old revolver to auto transitions and subsequent huge numbers of cheap barely used revolvers, the cheap police turn in Glock 40s will be gone to never return. The snag will be when the 9mm suffers another well publicized catastrophic failure as it has over and over and over..

"New bullet technology has put the 9 on equal footing with the .40 & .45" Honest, I read that somewhere. Guess the new tech. wasn't applicable to bigger bullets.

4 different shooters and 100 rounds down range on Tuesday. Not a bobble...

These Ameriglo sights look good. 25% cheaper than a comparable Trijicon. This Ghost 3.5 "Edge" connector is impressive too. Alpha wolf barrel drops in like a stock barrel. Good fit at the muzzle and hood. Not as tight as KKM and Barsto barrels I have in other Glocks. 100% reliable and shoots good at 25 feet.

The 23 is a favorite of mine, and being able to run 9X19 & 357Sig is a bonus.

Shot the little beast all week without a bobble. A good 1000 rounds and at least 15 different people. I'll pick up two more next week. When I buy two I'll save enough over G19s to buy a 4th G23.

Bought two more G23s this morning. Stopped to look them over and two just called out to me, "I'M JUST LIKE NEW!!!" Pulled the slides off to verify condition. Threaded barrels, sights, recoil springs, steel guide rods, Ghost Edge Connectors, and tall Ameriglo sights on order.
