Dude, LEARN about your firearm before sharing incorrect information with others. There is no such thing as a double action glock23. It's called striker fired. Ur just like another one of those filipino's that work at a nursing home or a hospital because it's the only easy way out in the u.s. And always give out false reports to the emergency medical service. LEARN about your gun.

@thahchad1987 : if your talking about the video descriptions info that say { Action Safe Action (constant double action mode) !! well i coped that form a website and never paid attention to the info but i will fix it !! thank you any way .

Speaking of firepower, you can get the glock 19 (9mm) and use a glock 18 magazine. The glock 18 magazine holds 33 rounds, and if you put a +2 baseplate on it then it holds 35 rounds. So the glock 19 can have 35+1 rounds of 9mm

@anarchy3155 : i do know that glock 19 take's 33 rounds, but i didnt know you can add 2 more rounds !! to be honest with you when i was looking for a gun i was saying to my self i will get the 45 ACP then i end up with 40 s&w but when i fired the +p 9mm i was like wow nothing wrong with 9mm as long as it's hollow point and +p !! thats why i got my PF9 9mm !!

[MrJo1340]

I wanted to ask how the recoil is on the 23 as opposed to the 19? I've fired the 19 & I know the 23 has the same dimensions. Can you give some input on that?

[sargon08]

@MrJo1340 I NEVER FIRED THE G19 BUT I FIRED MY KEL TEC PF9 IN 9MM AND RUGER LCR IN 38 SPC THE G23 WAS THE BEST AS FAR AS RECOIL !!

@alexzam6474 speaking english does not make you smarter !!

i speak three languages how many do you speak smartass ?? it looks like your one of the high school drop out loser's who think speaking english make him better then other's !!

if you need 17 rounds to shoot someone with, you dont deserve to carry a gun on you.

@usmc1634 The glock 23 is the duty weapon of both the FBI and the DEA because it is light, great for concealed carry and has a large amount of ammo (15 round duty mag) with the power of a .40 cal S&W, I just bought a glock 23 for an off duty weapon and as a secondary ankle weapon when Im on duty.

[1039sflem]

@sargon08 Not exactly, the G18 mag is 31 rounds and the +2 base plate takes it to 33 total. That's all you get.

[MrJwedge]

glocks are striker fired they are not double action. your description is wrong.

[usmc1634]

Just a question for anyone who is Law Enforcement or knows a LE officer... Is the Glock 23 a good choice as a duty weapon and will departments allow officers to choose the weapon they carry? Or would an officer have to stick to a standard size Glock 22?

[R7T7W77]

Thank you for the video; I'm going to purchase a 23 today. Your video helped me make up my mind.
