Had a 23 since 1997. Others have come and gone. Got a 9mm barrel ten years ago. I never changed the ejector. I go back and forth between 9mm and 40. 100% reliable over thousands of rounds.
I've got a Glock 23 Gen 3, since 2009-2010-ish, with brand new night sights, and I keep it loaded with Hornady Critical Defense, Federal HSTs or Speer Gold Dots... And it never fails! Deadly accurate. I know there's a lot of people who seem to be more partial to 357 SIG or even 9mm, but I love my G23 Gen 3...
I did this with my Glock 22. Bought a Glock 31 barrel dropped right in and started shooting. With the 9 you need to buy an actual conversion barrel,ejector and the extractor claw. It'll work but the part has a different degree of slope on the claw.
I own the 23 I’m I. Might not even buy another Glock this is the perfect gun , hella concealable and I can shoot .40 and a 9mm if I wanted to do so without buying a new gun I also heard you can convert it to 380… I really love the 23 Mann 😂
You can also swap out the 357 Sigg barrel in that gun. Because of 357 Sigg is a 40 caliber case it uses the same magazines same show injector less problems. Also more powerful than a 40 caliber.
19 is definitely the most popular handgun out there. I honestly think it's arguably the most reliable also. And at first i didn't agree with you about the 23 but when i thought about it, it probably is the best because like you said you can basically turn it into a 19. So you can have a 40 and a 9 in one of the most reliable and popular handguns on the market, also the most compatible. Just an all around win. Personally me tho i just can't get off the 19, definitely my fav
Yeah like me, i have no real interest in shooting .40 cal any more when 9mm is cheaper and seems like it’s easier to buy in bulk. Thats why i originally switched to 9mm in 2020 was because ammo was insanely expensive.
@@2ANinja ya bro when I first got into this gun sht I was trying to buy as many different calibers as I could. But the more I shot 9mm and realized how much other ammo cost for a lot of other calibers I just ended up loving 9mm and all my other guns would just sit there and get no love 😩 Like I haven't shot my 45 or 380 in like a year lol. And I had a 40 and a 38 revolver but got rid of those. I'm kinda mad I got rid of the revolver tho
Im the same way lol. I mainly only shoot 9 and 5.56. Just because those are the cheapest other than like .22lr i still have a lot of different caliber guns but they just sit in the safe
@@2ANinja i forgot I have a 22 also, that thing really doesn't get any love. I don't even keep it near my other guns 😭 not because it's a 22 but because it's probably the crapiest 22 on the market. Hell arguably it could be in the hi point family idk 🤷 that's just how bad it is 😩😭😭😭
@@2ANinja it's a Mossberg 715 (I think that's the name) and it's a 16inch but when I tell you it's a big piece of plastic I actually mean it 😭 it's got a fake charging handle fake forward assist and you can't even take the grip off or anything. It's got screws holding it together and when you take it apart to clean it it splits in half. And I don't mean upper and lower, I mean like stand it up straight and split 🪓 the gun in half lmmfao 😭😭 I'm dying over here just explaining it 💀💀
Will the glock 19 barrel work in the 23? I do have a glock 19 and the 23c I put the 19 barrel in the 23c didn't try to shoot it but it fix perfectly will it work tho.
The outside diameter of a factory glock 19 barrel is too small. They 9mm conversion barrels for the 23 that have a thicker outside diameter. I probably wouldn’t try a factory g19 barrel in a 23
I disagree with this. Personally the grip on the 19 and 23 is to small for me. It's uncomfortable to shoot unless there is a magwell. For me the 17 frame is the way to go. I do like the 45 but if im already full size frame mine as well rock the longer slide. Im also 6'4" 215 lbs so concealing full size is fine for me.
One thing you can also do with the small 19/23 grip is to get a full size mag plus x-grip to fill that little gap/groove so by doing that now you can get the best of 2 worlds in 1 gun
This Glock also has communism, or sorry, "state compliant" mags, so you can have the 23 if you have bigger hands instead of needing to get a mag extension so your pinkie doesn't overhang. Also the 23 barrel fits in the 27 from what I saw on another video.
Me hubiera gustado tener una Glock 31. Un cañón de .40 SW modelo 22. Y un cañón y cargador de 17. Creo que la uña mas dura es la de las .357 SIG. Por eso luego tendría .40 y 9 m.m. No pude hacer eso porque en argentina hay poca variedad de .357, y es mucho mas cara, que las otras aquí mencionadas. Si Magtech hubiera fabricado .357 SIG, lo hubiera logrado. Igual hay 3 duos muy agradables si se trabaja en las calles que son 19/26, 23/27 y 21/30S. Nunca jamas te dejaran a pie. Porque 2 armas...!? Porque mi ángel de la guarda merece defenderse tambien...😂✌️😉
Sheeeeesh dope ass video fasho. Man I wish I would have got a 23 instead of the 19 just for the simple swap of the barrel and you have a 19 but it’s koo 👏👏🤙🤙🥶🥶
The Glock 19 and 23 are the perfect size. Not too big and not too small
I personally think the glock 19 is to small, the grip is to short for me so its very uncomfortable to shoot.

it's fine, different strokes for different folks ITS YOUR WEAPON💯

Great video! I never thought about having the option to switch between calibers with the 23
Yes sir! I was actually thinking about getting a 23 for my next Glock. 💪🏽
Cant go wrong there
I love both of my Gen 5 G19 & G23. They’re both perfect. You can’t go wrong with either one. The Gen 5 .40s are such smoother shooters, too.
No one is mentioning how well and how he responsibly handles these firearms. Well done!

I used to think this too but I don’t trust a conversion barrel to carry with my life. What conversion barrel has been the most reliable and tried ?

Glock 23 can be a glock 19 so its basically a 2 in 1

Can you use the Xgrip on the standard 23mags
I used to use the glock 23 mags in my g27 with the x grip. You could also get x grips for the g22 mags to go into a g23
Who would want to make a g23 a 9mil literally don’t make sense
To save money on ammo or be able to shoot more than 1 caliber out of the same gun
Very interchangeable... 3 guns for the price of one
Yes sir!
Can you convert the Glock 19 to 40. Cal?
No because the diameter of the g19 barrel hole in the slide isnt big enough to fit a .40 cal barrel
No, u can make it shoot smaller but can’t make it shoot bigger.

G45 with a threaded barrel gives you G17 ballistics with a little bit lighter weight.
