First pistol in a very long time

[Guest RUGER]

Back when I was 21 I had a Llama 45 and later a Ruger single six and that has been the extent of my pistol experience.

I just picked up a Glock model 23 in 40 caliber yesterday.

Looking forward to shooting it and I will have my concealed carry class within the next month.

From most everything I have seen / heard it should be a good pistol.

I can see me wanting more carry options in the future.

Welcome to TGO....Congrats on a great pistol.... Let us know how you like it and how it shoots....

Range reports and Pics are a must!!!!!!

Memories....first handgun I had was a Llama .357 magnum...and got it at Wal-Mart of all places, my how times have changed over 20 years, huh?

Oh...and just for the record, in TN it Handgun Carry Permit, it allows to carry Open or Concealed. Look forward to hearing about the class and the day when the permit comes in.

Congrats on the new handgun....you should love it! Practice often and good luck in the class!

Congrats on the new purchase. As much as it pains me to say it, you really can't go wrong with a Glock. By god they may be ugly as sin and feel like a 2x4, but they go bang every time.

Glock 23 is a fine weapon, you made a good choice.

[RoDan]

Yep, if I had one of that size it would be a 23. Great choice.

Welcome aboard!

I've never shot a 40 cal, but many people like it. You can't have too many options, though.

Congrats on your glock 23,I bought the 27 instead...both are 40 cal. Smith&Wesson, and they were the same price but I like the smaller sub compact size of the 27,its easier to conseal IMO... and welcome to the fourms.

Welcome aboard dude. If you don't like that Glock, I will come dispose of it for you!!! Just me being a responsible adult, trying something new here.

[Will]

Perfect,this is the only gun you will need for the rest of your life and now you can use your gun fund for other things. As with any glock buy a good brand holster.

23 is a great carry gun and what i usually pack as a primary
