      I do recommend 23C. This way beside having all conversion options, you have a choice of ported/non-ported use. As for the caliber, 40 is better because recoil of the cheap ammo you'd train with is the same as with SD/HD ammo, unlike 9mm.

        If you are going to get a Glock go 23.

              Nah, I want people to buy guns to find out in the end that they can't find ammo.

              All Glock Fotays are MINE!!!

                G19 > G23 imo.
                9mm practice ammo looks like it's coming back around as well...

                  Well, my G20 is what I grab when I think there's a need to use it. The 19 would be more of a fun gun and eventually a CC gun. I'd also use it to train my wife and other family members to shoot.

                    9mm is boring to shoot. 23 all the way.

                      G26 or G27 for better CCW gun. Go get your Glock 9; more fotays for me!!!

                          As hard as 9mm ammo is to get right now, it's a hell of a lot easier (and cheaper!) to find than .40 in my experience. I own a G29 and think it would be a waste to buy a G23 when you can simply swap the barrel on your G20 and run .40 ammo if you like. I chose the G19 because it is very cheap to shoot, and I like how it has very little recoil. Use the G19 when you want to plink for a long range day for not too much money and use your G20 when you really want to have fun! However, I trust my life with my G19 and HST's which is why I carry it daily. Buy the Lone Wolf barrel like I did and it will be like having three guns for the price of two.

                              Get 23 and if you wanna plink all day long for even cheaper than 9mm get Advantage Arms .22 conversion.

                                G26 or G27 for better CCW gun
                                If you really have issues concealing a gun, then yes the 26 or 27 might be better. But if you have the right holster (or the help of winter clothing) then it's quite easy to conceal a G19 (or G23). For me, having the extra grip, slightly longer barrel, and more ammo capacity makes the G19 a better concealed carry gun for me.

                                I carried a G27 for a while and couldn't get used to the grip (when practicing my draw). I could have added the Pierce grips but then I just figured I might as well carry the G19 with 16 rounds!
