I picked up a used Glock 23 Friday… paid about $150-160 under retail; of course the gun is used and looks like it. The good news is that the barrel, feedramp and breechface indicate a very low round count. The gun has the dreaded 7 ¾ pound ‘New York’ trigger, but it has a very good two-stage setup and is crisp when it breaks. I really don’t mind it, particularly on a gun carried IWB a lot.

The first few magazines showed it was shooting fine for elevation, but about 4” left at 25 yards. Lacking a fancy screw-driven sight adjusting tool, I just did what I’ve always done; padded a vise with cardboard and knocked the rear sight over with a hammer & punch. Yep, that’s rain on the gun. At 47 degrees it was perfect sighting-in weather ;)

With the windage corrected, it was time to confirm zero at 50 yards. I had trouble seeing the little 1” red center at that distance so I stapled some white paper over it. I fired the first 5 rounds, Federal 165 grain HST, holding directly on the center with my hands rested on the range bag. They were a little high, but pretty well centered.

Five more rounds from the same distance, this time standing and shooting unsupported with 165 grain American Eagle FMJ. I liked that a little better. The HST rounds have the vertical mark and the AE shows horizontal marks.

I also shot at an empty cartridge box at 25 yards and hit it four of five shots. The gun is shooting pretty well and I like it.

Nice working gun

and you can get a standard trigger spring and replace that horrid NY trigger 'module'.

probably wouldn't hurt to replace the recoil spring while you're at it.

We've found that .40 is one hard round on the gun.

send me your address.

Easy Rob... I've got an old Safariland 27 IWB made just for Glaaarks. It fits the 9/40 frame guns to a T, has a kydex (?) hardshell and a reinforced top inside the leather shell. Top review is mine:

No way I'd "Meskin' Carry" a Condition One Glock. Sorry if I gave you a fright.
