Glock 19 or 23?

Hey Guys, In the past I have had a bunch of 19s and 23s. At the time all gen 3s but didn't like the grips so I sold them off. Currently, I own and cc a 17 gen 4 which I wouldn't get rid of and shoot really well with. So now i am In the market for a gen4 that would be a bit smaller. Give me some feed back here about what you think I should get next.

 

I can go with a 23 and just get the barrel for 9 as well as .357 sig. I do have about 6 mags from my 17 that I can also use. But if I put my 9 barrel in the 23 slide would the loose tolerances of the barrel whole affect my accuracy?

 

Thank you for the wisdom. How good is the quality of these barrels? Do they ever have any feeding and extraction issues? I am kind of on the fence when it comes to thinking about buying after market parts.

 

Ok. I'll look through some of those barrel discussions. What are your opinions on those ported barrels these guys make? I am know they are a bit longer than the stock looking ones. I think they are just something thats more to show off than something that is functional.

 

19 has less felt recoil IMO but if you plan to shoot that gun often the cost of 9 is a bit less than 40. As I mentioned at the beginning of the post I have owned a couple of both 19 and 23. Now whatever I will buy I am getting in a gen 4 and I also planning on keeping it unless I find something I don't like about it after I shoot it. Only thing for me is right now the GSSF competitions begin so I have to buy atleast 300-500 rounds for my 17 since thats what I like competing with and if I get a 23 I will have to get a box of 40 with 19 I would take 50 or so to shoot with from the 9mm pile.

 

Not a bad piece. Has a nice high mag cap. It's accurate and it always goes bang like all Glocks do.

 

I know the 9 and 40 mags differ. But can the 40 mix with the .357? I know sig mags in .40 accept the .357

 

Oh ok. Ya in the past i have shot at ranges with leos doing their quals and sometimes they would cross their 9s n 40s as funny as it sounds however they are people too and they do make mistake regardless how silly they may be. Sounds good then I guess I'll get the 23 due to its versatility for multiple calibers.

 

My very first one was a 23 as well. I just never liked the gen 3 grip. I switched to smith m&p for a while, they are great guns but in encountered other issues with them which made me want to sell. However, I returned back to Glock as soon as the Gen 4 line was released and I got a 17 which I carry the most and shoot the most.
