The 23 is a stellar pistol...

[@RidersRange]

I agree. Thanks for watching.

[@steemerxaxon1643]

One of the BEST Pistols ever MADE!!!!! (( A MAN'S GUN))

Glock is a Glock is a Glock

Some say that "once you go Glock, you never go Bock [back?]). Thanks for watching.

[@tigerman3]

I've started carrying the Glock 27 lately due to some back issues. (Man, is finding .40 ammo and accessories hard after the cough-cough!) Might look at getting the 23 again after selling my Gen 3 many years ago. Thanks for getting it out and stoking the fire to get one again...😂 😉

[@RidersRange]

.40S&W ammo is available, though a little more expensive than 9mm. I like .40, though it seems to get a bad rap. Thanks for watching.

[@irafowlerjr.7492]

Really enjoyed, really like the Glock 23, thanks

[@RidersRange]

Thank you for watching.

Great video, keep recovering strong!

[@RidersRange]

Thanks for watching.

[@lessage760]

Love the fourty

[@Pmedic605]

You need a Glock 32 - a Glock 19 with a lot more punch!

[@RidersRange]

Probably true, though I'd have to get another reloading toolhead and dies for the .357Sig - and I don't like reloading bottleneck cartridges. Thanks for watching.

[@johndilday1846]

The .40is a great and effective cartridge. It is a higher pressure round, and needs a heavier gun than the 9mm to avoid beating itself and the shooter mercilessly. I agree on shooting preferences, I like shooting .45 more than .40 in most guns. I don’t mind it in my High Power as it’s a heavier gun designed for .40. I am tempted to get a new Glock 22 in the 5th generation as it’s a heavier gun and I have heard that the extra weight tames the recoil and lets the gun live longer due it not beating itself apart.

[@RidersRange]

Thanks for watching and adding your thoughts.

[@3wheelmannc860]

G5 MOS 23 is my fav. Still like the G5 19 MOS as well.

[@RidersRange]

Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@RowdyElGuapo]

Federal 165 is pretty close to week 10mm. .40 can hold its own depending on the load.

[@steemerxaxon1643]

Yeah... Alot of people don't like the Finger Grooves ... But they Favor the Gen 3's ALOT...!! when the Gen 4 has TWICE as good of a Grip...

[@RidersRange]

Yup. But different strokes for different folks. Thanks for watching.

[@Broken_Arrow58]

It's okay if you miss once in a while especially since you're not shooting with your dominant hand. Trigger looked too flat to be stock.

[@RidersRange]

Shhhhh.....I didn't mention it was an aftermarket trigger. I wouldn't want the Y-Tube nannies upset. 😎

[@Alienwhiskey]

💪🏻

[@RidersRange]

Thanks for watching.

[@dannydoughboy120]

You keep shooting that sir, your good shoulder gonna be needing surgery...😁

[@RidersRange]

Nahhh.....40 isn't THAT bad. Thanks for watching.

I have seen dry fire laser systems for practice. Do not know much about them. What would you recommend for a glock. Have you done any videos on such systems

[@RidersRange]

It all depends on whether you want just a laser system (G-Sight ELMS runs about $60), just a simulated trigger reset system (Glock E-Trainer about $25 ), or a full reset and laser system (≈ $500 at the Glock store). I did a video on the original G-Sight ELMS a while ago and I use it regularly. It's a simple drop-in device that works in any pistol, not just a Glock, though it doesn't reset the trigger. I haven't used any of the simulated trigger reset systems, so I can't comment on their effectiveness as a realistic training device.

👍👍

[@RidersRange]

Thanks once again for watching.

[@ginamasson4011]

What kind of ear protection are you wearing in this video?

[@RidersRange]

My go-to hearing protection is MSA Sordin Supreme Pro X with gel ear seals.

[@highxj]

I get so tired of all the commentary I see about how "Stupid and worthless" the 40 is. Please.....

[@RidersRange]

The .40S&W cartridge is still a viable defense round, but there are a lot of haters. Thanks for watching.

[@AndyCigars]

Rider, you are a great marksman. 👍🏻

[@RidersRange]

Once again, thanks for watching.
