Finally put a glock in layaway

[JoshSmith]

Found a g23 gen 4 for 475. The gun store owner lowered the price to 450 for me. Has very light holster rash on the slide and comes with everything from factory. Did i get a good deal?

For a Gen 4 from a store, I would think that's a decent deal. New ones are around 550 I think so 100 off isn't bad. Plus if you are comfortable with the price, IMO, you are good.

Just checked ZX gun. New 23 gen 4 is $539. They have some sales from time to time with the prices down to $499-479. You didn't get ripped off by a long shot although you didn't get a steal either.

Good gun for a fair price. Enjoy it.

To me the 23 is the perfect size, small enough to carry but still nice for home defense.

 

[STEEL CORE]

Not bad at all. Enjoy!

 

[IndyGlockMan]

you done good.

Now you need, more mags, and lots of ammo!

 

[Who Dares Wins]

Good gun! Sounds like a decent price. If you are happy, then that is what counts.

I would recommend getting an after-market stainless recoil spring guide rod myself, as they hold out longer than the factory plastic guide rods. (Some assembly required, but easy to do) Also night sights are good, if it doesn't have them already.

Nice!

I wish my LGS did layaway, I'd probably spend more money there. Then again, when I asked, I believe it was before I had made any large purchases there... now that I've bought a couple guns there, maybe I should ask again.

I am considering a Glock for my next firearm. I am leaning toward the G23 as my new CCW but am considering a 27 & 26 as possibilities. I need to get in and grab ahold of each.

I was gonna get the 17 but it got sold before i got there but the owner gave me the 23 for the same price but at first i wasnt 100% set on the 23 but after all that happened i wanted it....couldnt pass on the price. As for the 27 and 26 definitely was not for me....too big of hands lol

I thought about upgrading the guide rod. One thing i really want is a plug for the hole thays next to the mag. Ive seen flush plugs but i want a plug that will sit flush with the mag and the only one i found that is like that is the storage plug but i dont see myself using the storage so i thought of getting it if i cant find a solid slug and just glue the door shut on it since idk how well the door will stay shut.

Using glue?????

 

[nakinate]

Using glue?????

I'm guessing you don't use glue when you work on 1911s?

 

[JoshSmith]

Using glue?????

Just using glue or some type of adhesive to keep the door shut on the storage plug if it doesnt stay shut properly. Not using glue on the gun itself

 

[IndyGlockMan]

the plug made by Glockmeister fits pretty flush

the plug made by Glockmeister fits pretty flush

Does it fit flush with the frame or mag?

Congrats on the G23. I think the price is pretty good for a Gen 4. I think you'll come to love the G23 as the perfect balance of caliber, concealability and capacity. It really is the no-compromise gun for EDC.

Excellent...and congrats on the G23! I have a Gen II and I absolutely love it!

I agree with this. I feel the g23 is perfect all around.

Are you set on 40? If not, I'd look at the 19. I've been through all the various Glock calibers and models, and while I still have a couple of 23's, the 19 and the 26 are what I carry.

Shoot it before you upgrade anything. There is no reason to mess with the guide rod and upgrade yourself into some possible failures. Buy an extra OEM guide rod and throw it in your parts bin in case you ever need it, if you want to spend the money on something. As far as the grip plugs, there is a reason the ones for the Gen 4 are not flush and that is to allow the backstraps to be used. Some plugs do not allow the Gen 4 backstraps to be used, so pay attention to that when you are looking at them.

After you shoot it, and if you intend to carry it, start looking at night sights. I'd suggest the Trijicon HD's. If you don't have one, look into a good gun belt and a good holster, then buy a bunch of mags, and a bunch of ammo... then shoot the thing alot.
