Description

Product Overview

Designed for law enforcement, concealed carry permit holders, and home defenders, this model represents a significant evolution within the GLOCK platform. It bridges the gap between full-size service pistols and subcompacts, offering a balance of firepower, controllability, and concealability. The GEN4 iteration incorporates direct feedback from professionals in the field, resulting in ergonomic and functional enhancements that improve handling for a wider range of shooters. Its primary uses include personal defense, tactical applications, and as a reliable sidearm for qualified professionals. With its rugged design and trusted performance, the GLOCK 23 GEN4 is built for those who demand a no-nonsense firearm for serious scenarios.

Key Features

• Gen4 Rough Textured Frame (RTF): The scientifically designed surface texture provides a secure, non-slip grip in all conditions, ensuring positive weapon retention with or without gloves.
• Dual Recoil Spring Assembly: This internally mounted system significantly reduces felt recoil, improves shooter comfort during extended range sessions, and substantially increases the service life of the pistol’s components.
• Reversible Magazine Catch: Changeable in seconds without tools, this feature allows left- or right-handed operators to configure the pistol to their dominant hand, enhancing ergonomics and speed of reloads.
• Modular Backstrap System: Includes multiple backstrap sizes (Medium, Large, Beaver Tail) that can be easily attached to the frame, enabling a customizable grip circumference and angle to fit a variety of hand sizes.
• Optimized .40 S&W Chambering: The 102mm (approximately 4.02-inch) barrel is precision-machined for the .40 caliber, providing a solid balance of ballistic performance and manageable recoil in a compact frame.
• Robust Build & Manageable Weight: With an unloaded weight of 21.16 ounces, the pistol offers a stable shooting platform that mitigates recoil while remaining light enough for all-day carry.

Performance & Applications

The GLOCK 23 GEN4 excels in specific roles where its combination of caliber, size, and reliability is paramount. For licensed concealed carry, its compact dimensions make it easier to conceal than a full-size service pistol, while the .40 S&W round offers a proven track record for defensive stopping power. The rough textured frame ensures the pistol remains secure against the body and accessible when needed.

In a duty or home defense context, the pistol’s reliability under adverse conditions is a critical asset. The dual recoil spring system not only softens recoil but also enhances the pistol’s ability to function reliably with a wide range of ammunition, from practice rounds to high-performance defensive loads. The reversible controls make it an ideal choice for agencies or households with both right and left-handed shooters, ensuring standardized training and operation.
