I picked up a Gen 4 yesterday, stuffed the mags with 180 grain W/white box HP’s. To dam cold to shoot it (-31) though.

Great firearm and caliber! Learn the trigger reset technique, if you never owned a glock?

Congrats on your new Glock! The 23 is a very versatile platform. I've got a G22 with alternate barrels in 9mm and 357 Sig.

All you need is parts that most often need replacing: RSA, slide lock spring and trigger spring. Must be ready for actions of famous Mr. Murphy.

Sorta like if you buy a snowblower, you don't have any blizzards that year. I took the Glock Armorers course about 15 years ago and I'd change one item. Recoil Spring Assembly, Extractor and Trigger Spring. The good thing about the RSA is it also fits a 19 and the Trigger Spring fits about everything but the 42 and 43. That being said, I've seen a few RSA wear out and I think one trigger spring break in 15 years at a rental range.

I had a RSA break on me in a 27 in less than a couple thousand rounds.

Solid pistol. I'm trying to get my hands on one of the new Gen 5 23s.

I've been hoping like hell for a long time they'd do a G23 in Gen 5. I sort of gave up on the idea and then out of the blue, there they came. I have really high hopes for it, particularly with that heavier slide.

You can get one now on GunBroker, if you're willing to spend over $700.00 for it.

I have a decent stash of 40 S&W on hand but if more were readily available for lots of play time, I probably would have ponied up the $700+ by now lol

Hope you can find enough ammo to wear it out. Wish I could.
