Glock 23

[ScaryWoody]

I have an opportunity to purchase a lightly used glock 23 for $405 out the door. The pistol is $365 plus shipping and transfer. Would this be a good price?

Your input is appreciated. I am not very familiar with Glocks Thanks!

For slightly over $400, yea I'd do it. I bought a new G23 from Academy for $538 with tax. This was my first handgun (and is my carry piece), If I did it over again I would buy used. At the gunshow here in Austin sometimes a vendor will sell them for under $450 new. Look it over if it looks OK, good barrel, lockup, etc, then buy it. Hell, it's a Glock a person has to TRY to tear one up. Might replace the recoil spring when you get it, their usually cheap insurance.

I bought my G23 in the early 90s and have never regretted it. Over 16,000 rounds without one malfunction. The price sounds more than reasonable.

3rd Generation? Yeah, I think that would be pretty good assuming pristine condition. Refurbs (when they surface run around $400 - at least around here). New in my area is $490 - put it roughly $515 out the door with taxes and so forth. Nothing wrong with used Glocks. Have a G19 I bought used and has never given me grief. Two other Glocks that I have (17 & 22) are factory refurbs, also excellent.

Like longhorngunman my first handgun and current carry gun is a Glock 23. I bought it new for about $500 (this was three year ago) and have been nothing but pleased since. In my opinion it's a great combination of size and power. For $400, I'd jump on it.

Buy it before someone else does! Used Glocks in my area will go for $450 and they don't last long at that price. Plus, you are getting one of the most in-demand Glocks out there.

The Glock is a 2nd Generation. No finger grooves (don't care for them) and no light rail (don't use a light). It would be used primarily for concealed carry.

Buy the dang thing already! It's a Glock, if you generally like the function of a Glock, safety(or lack of, depending on who you ask), looks(again, or lack thereof) , and like the.40 cartridge then you have found a good deal. Gotta practice with it though, the .40 in the compact frame sure likes to jump on me during rapid fire. My fullsize G21 though is like, well, buuutttta. Just remember when you get this close and then back out it will nag you for weeks. I turned down a mint S&W 29 .44mag for $300 a month ago. Now I just tell myself damn, shoulda, woulda, coulda.

I did purchase the pistol. It has just arrived. The pictures didn't do it justice. The pistol has no scratches. It looks as if it had fired maybe a box or two of ammo. It is in excellent condition. The dealer kept asking me, "and you paid what for it?" No regrets! Next post will be a range report.

Excellent purchase.
