Project completion?

[UC_Guy 1971]

A long while back I had picked up a gen 3 Glock 23 frame. I had been toying with the option to build a high speed, low drag, striker fired tack driver. ...LOL.

So my attempt was to use this frame with an Agency Arms trigger, aluminum magwell, extended slide stop, extended mag release, and so on.

However I ended up sticking a PSA slide assembly on it and calling it a day.

Well, no more... I'm keeping all of the frame mods. However, I tracked down a complete G23, gen 3 slide. I swapped out the front sight and have a 9mm conversion barrel as an option.

Good job!

What's appealing about the gen3 23? Asking seriously and for which cartridge other than 40s&w

You could always get a g19 gen3 then get a 23 slide and after that you still have the 9mm and all you'll need is the barrel and mag for the slide

If it works, alls good

Personally I’m not a finger grove kinda person. The G23 is a fun gun to start with at the range for me. I also kinda carry it. Personally I think .40 does a way better job than a 9 does. I know I’ll get hate for preferences of a bigger caliber but it’s what “I prefer”.

If that’s what he wants to do then let him. He’s doing what makes him happy. It’s like me saying why doesn’t he pick up a full size XDm-40.

Just because it is .40. It is one of my favorite rounds. One of my favorite guns and has the ability to shoot .40, .357 Sig (that will never happen), 9mm and .22LR. Admittedly the 9mm requires a barrel swap (sometimes mags too) and the .22LR requires an entire slide/mag swap out. Still it's a .40, so it's a win.
