While I was typing my reply disappeared. My wife has tried several revolvers and auto pistols. When she picked up a Glock 23, she told me she would probably carry it. She has carried it everywhere. She shoots it really well. Her belief is if she has to pull it she wants a big hole. She also believes if she has to pull it she will give them all 13 rounds. We normally shoot 180 grain bullets at around 1050. Recoil with this load is more of a shove back than a sharp kick up like a 9mm. She says our friends 19 kicks harder. As long as she carries it, I'll let her carry what is comfortable for her. She wanted a Glock 21sf but after shooting one she didn't recover from recoil very well and couldnt get back on target accurately.
