    I need a LIFE!!
    • Jun 2009

    I can't decide between

    G19 and G23...

    9mm is more cost effective than the .40, however the .40 can be converted to .357sig or 9mm with a barrel and mags.

    I have a G20 and I'm going to reload eventually, so the .40 makes sense for that.

    I guess I'm looking for a cheap/fun gun to shoot and one that I can CC easily.

      I haven't shot the 23 yet. I did put 100 rounds through a 19 the other day and I fell in love.

          Man, stuff like this kinda sucks. I've got a Beretta 96 and never shoot it because its a 40cal, and I hate buying ammo for it for some reason. Sure I could convert it to 9, but I've had the thing for almost 5 years and haven't done **** with it. How much will a conversion barrel cost you? Me? I'm a cheap bastard and stick with 9mm.
          Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
          Let my aim be true and my hand faster
          than those who would seek to destroy me.
          Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
          Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
          And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die in an empty pile of brass.

            $120 before tax and shipping from LWD.

            Turners has a G23 on sale for $539 right now... I've seen the G19 for $595 but I could probably get it a little cheaper.

                See, so right there you could get the G23, and a barrel for not too much more than the G19.

                  I love shooting my 10mm, but I think I'll likely go with the 9mm for cost of shooting.

                    Yeah, but they also have a clean used G19 for $450...

                        Yeah, any Glock I get will be a 3rd gen. I really love my G20.

                          True...if you've got one on the line...I haven't seen any used Glocks up this way in the sub $500 zone in a while though.

                            Well, I have two more days until my 30 is up. Hopefully I'll decide by then.

                              Hmm, looking at cans of ammo online suggests 9mm...

                              I think I have to go with the G19..
