Picked up a G23 today!

[Toole]

I am excited to get it to the range!!! I have shot a buddy's G23 and G22 and liked them both but considering this will also be my carry weapon I figured the G23 would be a better choice due to size. I'll get pics when I get home!

Also, thanks Paul for such an easy tranaction.

Congrats, I love mine!

I'm trying to decide if I'm going with a G23 or a G27 with the extra finger mag bottom. I've got big hands, so I'm not sure if the extra concealment is worth it.

I looked at the G23 and the G22. The G23 just felt too "crowded" for me so I went with the G22. For only 1/2" larger the G22 is not that much harder to conceal.

 

[Toole]

Ehh, the G23 fits in my hands just fine and is very comfortable to hold

Congrats!

Now PLEASE find a holster more suitable for carrying a $500 weapon. You will like it MUCH better.

I second that notion.

Comp-Tac makes a great line of Inside and outside the waistband holsters. And for Glocks they usually arrive in 4-5 days from when ordered.

Agreed. I ordered mine on a Thursday, and I had it a week later.

Yea, i tried on purdys tonight and it was great. Now i need to wait for the subcompact sig 250 and then get one

That's just the universal holster I have. I'll be ordering a Blackhawk Serpa soon I think

 

[esrice]

Have you done any reading on the Serpa line?

Manipulating your trigger finger to do ANYTHING other than pull that trigger isn't the best idea. Keep that in mind.

I strongly urge you to read through some of the other holster posts before you make that decision. Blackhawk Serpas are the only holsters NOT permitted for use at any of the Tactical Response classes. I've been told they've improved the design somewhat, but they still have one fundamental problem: they require your trigger finger to do ANYthing but stay lined up on the slide above the trigger guard. Too much room for error in a stressful situation if you're having to push in a button near the trigger with your trigger finger to release your gun from its holster.

I have a Raven holster, and I'm sure some of the other guys could reiterate their recommendations, but there are several other threads on holsters on this site.

Geez I type slow. :P

Are you wanting IWB or OWB. Is your main goal to be concealed or open?
