CW9 vs. G19 ?

[Inebriated]

They wear noticeably quicker in .40, as well.

Biggest difference besides the width/capacity is my personal experinece with the quality between the two. Kahrs (2) have been a disaster and Glocks (3) have been boring in a good way.

I was kinda wondering that too. They're the same gun, with the caveat that the Glock frame was originally designed for 9mm and then later adapted to .40S&W.

Its not like they're known to be unreliable in .40S&W or anything, but they're certainly not MORE reliable in .40S&W.

I'm referring specifically to the early Gen 4 19's that used the same spring as the G23, and had feed issues with light ammo. Even the re-worked spring has some issues depending on who you ask. No one has brought any feed issues up regarding the G23 in any generation that I can find. Hickok45 (of YouTube fame) had 3 FTF's in the latest Gen4 G19 in 300 or so rounds. This was a test of a NIB Gen4 G19 with the latest upgraded spring, with numerous ammo types in the gun. All FTF's were with cheap federal 115gr FMJ. I am sure the latest G19's will be utterly reliable with hotter carry ammo, but still, I want 100% confidence and I have that in the G23. He has several G23's and finds them utterly reliable. As for wearing early compared to the G19, I believe he claims his Gen 2 G23 has 75,000+ through it, but I may be mistaken. I doubt the good Lord above has yet made a man with the physical and financial means to wear one out.
