Glock 23 Gen3 .40 S&W Blue/Black Pistol

A: The 9mm is easier and less expensive to shoot which is a big consideration when departments are planning their budgets. I shoot more 40S&W but that is because I hate reloading 9mm ammo. The 9mm has less recoil the 40 has a more snappy recoil

A: This is strictly a LE perception created by all the LE trade ins and low prices. I don't mind as you can find LE trade ins at a steal so the more the merrier for me. Perception is a powerful thing, even when unfounded.

A: Hi Frank, It was this weeks special. They're sold out now. When items go on sale like this it's best to just jump on it. Buds uses an automatic inventory price update engine that runs every 20mins. Prices are tied directly to stock levels and will change as stock numbers change. As inventory numbers go down, prices go up and vice-versa. Usually when popular items get low in stock.

A: Frank, being on sale and being a 40S&W caliber had the price low. Since Law Enforcement is switching back primarily to 9mm, 40's are starting to flood the market and the low prices are vendors trying to sell these less popular lower demand 40 caliber pistols.

A: Yes Frank, the G23 will take the higher capacity G22 Magazines just fine.

A: The SAFE ACTION® System is a fully automatic safety system consisting of three passive, independently operating, mechanical safeties. ... The trigger safety is designed to prevent the pistol from firing if it's dropped or if the trigger is subjected to any pressure that isn't a direct firing pull. So it's just describing the safety features, it has 3, trigger safety, firing pin safety and drop safety. Hope this helps.

A: Keith, Safe Action is the actual internal safety features built into Glock Handguns. Avery informative demo/visual video here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2RDitgCaD0

A: no it does not have a full supported chamber and I would avoid +p ammo in them

A: Thomas, it does not but it can handle the Federal Premium Ammunition HST 155 grain no issue. I have fired several hundred of +P rounds in my Gen3 and no over pressure signs on the brass. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Robert, this Gen 3 Glock comes with (2) 13rd Magazines. Gen 4 and Gen 5 Glock Model 23 include (3) Magazines. Cheers and stay safe!
