Chopped Glock 23

[CJJohn]

I had my Glock 23 cut to accept 27 magazines for a little better concealement, then I did some work to the grip and the stippling. This is the most natural aiming Glock I have ever held and fits my hand like a glove. I welcome all comments.

Interesting..

More power to you for doing your own thing but why not just get a 27 and leave your 23 unmolested? The extra barrel length of the 23 versus the 27 isn't enough IMO to justify chopping a perfectly good 23.

[CJJohn]

I already had the 23, and to be honest I hate the way the 27 grip feels. Quirky, I know, but this feels / fits WAY better than any 27 I have ever held. PLus, I have only sold one gun in my entire life, this is a keeper, and to ME, much more so now. The advantages I have with this as well are front rail, granted not used much, but it is used, as well as a longer sight radius.

Let's start with the with all the negatives people will say:

• You lose 5 rounds (Not so much in Cali)

• Do you even have a CCW or Credentials for carry?

• Why?

• Looks stupid

• Who cares, it's a Glock.

• Etc

• Etc

But seriously, great job. I like these cut down 19/23 Glocks. You get the longer sight radius, less felt recoil and more inherent mechanical reliability than a true subcompact.

It's a win, win. But like always, haters gonna hate

I'm going to do it to my G22

O.o

This about sums it up. And for your list:
lost one round
Yes
Because I like it
So do some hammers
Yep etc.....

I agree 100%. For ME it's a win win.........

I've been looking at a 20 for a while, now I'm thinking a 20 cut ot a 29 grip length may be in order.

Very cool. It's like a Glock CCO.

[MA2]

get rid of the finger grooves too.

[AK all day]

Wow, that's really innovative. Simple yet I have never heard of anyone doing it. Good job.

[CJJohn]

Ilvsmog, it's growing on me for sure.
Berge at Ole Boy did the cutting, then I did the grip shaping and stippling. This thing is so easy to carry.

[CJJohn]

I'm thinking about the finger grooves, the thing is I kind of like them, they fit me well, I think I'll do the stippling in between them though to eliminate the cheese grater effect. I am planning on rounding off the trigger guard as well as undercutting it some. I have an extended slide release on order as well as a plus one pinky extension. I'll post up some better pictures once it's all done.

Haters gonna hate, who cares as long as your happy! Thanks for sharing!

Custom guns are so cool!!! You have a unique gun that you modified to your specifications. I like the shorter grip with added controllability of the longer 23 slide. I have a G23 and G27, I used to hate transitioning to the 27 due to it's much sharper recoil. I never customized any of them except for replacing sights and smoothing out the trigger. It's funny for I like carrying the 27 due to the less height in which the butt of the 23 usually prints when carried.
