Well: I have been saying that I was looking for a Glock 23 for some time now, and one finally fell into my lap about a month ago.
I don't buy new Glocks as I can rebuild one quickly and cheaply, but this one was nearly new. It still had the copper anti-seize Glock uses for assembly on the slide ways, and looked like it had only been test fired. Essentially NIB with 6, 10 round mags! $500! I call that a deal!
I immediately installed an Extended Mag Release and Slide Catch, and got a Kydex Paddle Holster for it. I also reworked the Trigger Safety like the rest of my guns.
Cammenga, the Army Compass Outfit, is bringing out a line of Night Sights since they are one of the few outfits that are allowed to handle Tritium and do it for many other outfits. They decided it might be a smart idea to make their own line, and they have promised me a set for the gun. It pays to go to the SHOT Show and make friends, and this relationship will prove to be profitable.
The whole reason I wanted a G23 is because it is one of the guns you can swap the barrel out for a 9mm barrel and it will run just fine. That way by simply carrying the extra barrel, you have the option of two different calibers, one being probably being the most common pistol ammo out there today. So good to have in a SHTF situation. This gun will replace my CZ82 as my "closest to me" gun.
So anyway now I have 4 Glocks and they are all set up the exact same way, and run the same way, and the triggers are all the same as well. Pretty easy to pick up any of them and make hits.
This along with my new CA Legal AR are very likely the last guns I will buy as I now have virtually every gun I have ever wanted. I have several Project guns that I will complete and shoot, but I hardly need or even want any more. I will probably be selling off some of my collection soon to stay tuned.
Here's some pics of it.
