    I love carrying my G36...my favorite glock yet. I will say if you decide to carry a Gen4 make sure your holster has material between you and the gun and not just a drop in holster, the grip will wear you out. At least it did on me.

    Typicaly, the recoil is a bit less on a Glock, as the bore axis is much lower than most all other Semi auto pistols. Sig comes close, but the rest are much higher up.

    Glock is a great pistol for the money.
    I have owned most of the 9mm, .357sigs, and all the .45s.
    Never had a case hit my head yet.
    Ammo, grip, ect can make big differences in shooting.

    The Glocks I shoot nowhere near as accurately as my 1911s but $500.00 vs $1000.00 Plus Plus makes a huge difference in my ability.

    All that said I usuall carry a Glock or a S&W snubby.

    I hate being so picky. I think I'm over-analyzing. The only reason I debated between the 23 gen.3 is because it's been around longer and haven't read a bad review.

    If the Glock grip angle fits you, you wont be unhappy either way I dont think

    9mm will be cheaper to buy than .40

    glock 21SF here!! it feels and shoots like a cannon. i am more accurate with my sig226 in 9mm, but i bet it is a recoil issue and not a glock issue.

    i lightened the trigger and things got alot better. i love it and keep it as the first go-to piece when the electricity shuts off for good.

    Well after reading mixed reviews about the 4th gen. I decided to cancel the sale. I went to another shop and they have new 3rd gens that come with three 15rd magazines for almost $100 less. I am going to get it hopefully Thursday when my parental unit is off work. I will post pictures when I get it :D

    Oh and as for the holster I will think about it. I'm not going to open carry so I'm not sure, but I might want it just to have and use.

    I bought a gen 3 glock 23 a little over a week ago and I absolutely love it. In the past I always thought glock owners were kind of full of themselves, I have to say, I was wrong. I see many more glocks in my future.
