Long story short, I have the opportunity to select a new duty pistol. I could select either a gen 4 Glock 22 or gen4 Glock 23 with Glock factory night sights. The gun will be carried with a weapon mounted light in a Safariland 6360. I will carry the gun on patrol.
Smart self knows I should go with the 22. There's an increase in magazine capacity and an increase in shoot ability due to the longer sight radius and greater slide mass. I'm curious what the advantage is to the Glock 23. I carry/train off duty with Glock 19's exclusively and it's tempting to get a gun that handles like what I'm used to. I also prefer how the compact frame fits in my hand.
Anyone carry a Glock 23 over a 22? Why?
