Got to go pick up my new Gen 4 G23 Glock from my FFL. It's been a while since I've held a Gen 4 compact with the finger grooves, and I forgot just great they feel in my hand.
This is a NIB special distributor version that was Cerakoted, which I wasn't crazy about, but finding a NIB Gen 4 G23 these days is getting tough, and the price was decent, so I pulled the trigger.
Had to go work a 12 hour graveyard shift tonight, so only had time to fondle it and install the new front sight.
Ironically, I stopped at the post office on my way to the FFL and the new set of Dawson sights arrived, so when I got to work, I sat in my car and installed the front sight.
I discovered that when I went to remove the factory sight, it was already loose and halfway out of the slot. Apparently, when they reassembled the pistol after the cerakote, they forgot to tighten the front sight.
Not a big deal for me, but would have sucked if someone bought it and took it to the range only to discover it was hitting all over the place.
Got the Dawson FO sight on, and will install the rear tomorrow before doing a full range evaluation and side by side shootout with my Gen 5 G23. Also have an extended slide release and Glock (-) connector to install.
