G23

[Parrothead]

Well....its a little late now but i purchased a G26 this week. I havent got it to the range yet so i am wondering what to expect. I wanted a .40/.45 carry gun but after holding the compact glocks i assumed that might be too much power for a gun that small. I feel VERY conferable with the 9mm and most of my guns match that caliber.

Also, if you have any OWB holster suggestions i would appreciate it. I want to carry OWB with a jacket/sweater. Any suggestions would be appreciated

UMM>>>TO CLARIFY THE TITLE>>>>I PURCHASED A 26 NOT a 23

I had a 26 and realy liked it, i then got a 27 in 40s&w and couldnt shoot it near as good. You made a good choice I wish i still had my 26. As for holsters i carry a safari land not sure what the model is. A fobus is good, black hawk serpa are nice or if you want leather a bianchi black widow i think is the model is also good.

If the MODS could change the title i would appreciate it

Blackhawk Serpa it a good choice. You must practice, practice, practice with the level II+. Blade-tech is another nice choice (among many). The kydex is bulkier, but the paddle makes on/off or adjustments easier.

Leather rides closer, thus gaining concealment. I would look to galco, safariland, or the like. Most will be close to par with eachother. I must also suggest IWB carry: galco's USA second amendment or royal guard.

If I don't pocket carry the R9, then the G26 is my EDC in an M-Tac IWB holster. Get a good belt, find the right cant and you can take naps with it on. Very manageable at the range.

The recoil on the G23 and G27 are both managable. The 27 even without +0 bottoms for the finger hold. Watch this:

and you shouldn't experience much trouble.

Good job with the 26 though, it is also a good choice for self defense.

I have a G26. I added a +2 mag extension just for a better grip. I use a DeSantis Mini-Slide leather holster most of the time. I also have a Fobus Roto-paddle if I need something quick. It`s a great little gun. I also have a 21sf just to play with. I did a bunch of mods to it just for something to do. Glocks are great guns and anybody with a bit of common sense can work on them. Enjoy

Using a mag extention on a 26/27 gives you virtually the same grip length as the 19/23. Grip length is the determining factor in concealability. What you are doing is trading away sight radius and the ability to have a rail in exchange for ... I'm sorry. You just lose them.

I'm partial to DM Bullard's bodyguard for OWB.

"Bodyguard" for Glock 26/27/33 Right Hand

I really liked Bianchi's speed holsters, but they are no longer available.

I like the G23 as a carry gun, good size and power.

Go with what makes you happy!
