GJM,
Not to derail this thread, but had a chance to shoot a box of 180 grain ball through a G5 G22 the other day and it was surprisingly soft shooting. About as soft as my G17.5 but slightly slower return to battery. Really enjoyable and I don’t enjoy 40s much.
I now understand what you mean by the G23.5 being very un-40ish.
End of the day, I got to shoot some Underwood Lehigh penetrators out of the 23 MOS. Fifteen rounds, because I was using a G22 magazine. No issues and the ammo felt very soft shooting.
I was set up at 18 yards, because of another drill we were doing. This is the first five rounds, using the circle only on the 509T X2.
Looked a bit high and right, and I switched to the dot only and shot the remaining ten rounds.
Then I shot five rounds of 165 grain Gold Dot.
Based on the three groups, I am giving it two clicks left. Interestingly, I shot a bare 4.5 PDP, meaning no light or brass back strap, with 124 +P Gold Dot to confirm zero after putting the Acro on to replace the Steiner, and it had more felt recoil than the 23 MOS with Gold Dot. I wonder if you could put a Gen 5 9mm, or a conversion barrel in, because that would be a soft shooting 9!

I cheated by throwing the Wheeler on for a second opinion, and it agreed with three.

Think we are good to go.
This thing is so pleasant to shoot, it is crowding out the 19 for EDC.

Nice. The gen 5 slides are heavier, as I understand it. Have you weighed yours?
Just a tad over three ounces heavier than a Gen 5 19 slide.

Where they need to be...

Wow, three ounces is quite a bit. What total weight? My gen 2 23s weigh in at .77 pound.
