Glock 23 Gen 4

Shooting the new .40 caliber Glock 23 Gen 4. I'm firing 180 grain Federal ammo. You get a pretty good look at it in the basket.

Saw a Glock that exploded...gotta wonder about that plastic frame.

@K1200BMW1j, I've seen a few steel guns with the metal peeled back from blowing up ( Colt SAA, shotguns, etc.), but I've never seen a polymer frame blown up.

Hickok! Why is my Gen4 Glock 23 shooting to the right? I just bought it and notice the problem today. I heard from somebody that this was a common problem with Glocks. Why is this happening and what can I do to fix it?

[hickok45]

@DrScotchDrinker2, I would not listen to "somebody" too much. I've had thirty or forty Glocks over the years, I guess. I don't think I've had even one that did not shoot right on.

Hickok45, I would like to thank you for creating your channel. After watching as many of your Glock videos as I could find, I knew I had to have a Glock. Long story short, this video sold me on the Glock 23 Gen 4 and I just went out and bought one brand new and I have to say, I am thrilled with it. I recently got my concealed permit and this is my first handgun. I think it's safe to say you have created another Glock enthusiast.

Awesome!

@hickok45 A nearby Police Dept. had trouble with the Glock 21s they were using. Several blew the chambers out and from the looks of the photos I saw, the men were lucky not to lose a hand or at least a few fingers.However, my hunch is they were running souped up +P ammo.I do not know enough about the Glocks to know whether they are all +P rated or not but these were defenitely blowing out the side right about where the chamber is located.Not sure what else may cause that in a great gun

@MrDelirious awesome. thank you.

@livetooshoot12 I plan to return to the gun shop.I will be showing the man all the damaged brass!Maybe then he will give me some of his time,instead of just passing it off to the over used( limp risting) reason.

@hickok45 I just purchased my first glock.I'm not new to shooting though.My glock 23 gen4 in 40cal is having all kinds of problems.I am not bashing glocks I like the pistol.I have had alot of FTE in several types,a few FTF and the brass is being really damaged on ejection.the guy at the gun shop gave me no time really and passed it off as limp risting.I know better,I'am no pro but that is not the issue.Any tips or help on this would be great.

@JosephCee .40 is a stronger caliber than 9mm (although it's debatable how much practical difference that makes). It's a cheaper round than .45 ACP, but more expensive than 9mm. It should be fairly easy to find.

Hickok! I finally got my glock. I decided to go with the 23 (gen 4) and I love it. Thank you for all of your reviews, your intelligence, and your humor. You rock!

[IngAdames]

he can shoot!

[JosephCee]

This is a noob question, is .40 a stronger cal than 9mm? And is .40 a common, easy to find, and fairly inexpensive as 9mm?
