I first started watching your videos when I was about 16 years old, when my dad purchased my first gun and I just recently turned 21 and plan on getting a pistol permit. Finally!! I have to say you're the one who has sold me on the Glock 23. I want it to be my first handgun. But what I was trying to say was I was deeply saddened to hear about your account going down twice in the matter of two days and I thought that the second time you were done for sure. I'm beyond thankful that you are back and still kicking because you've honestly taught me so much about firearms. You've taught me about gun culture and the importance of the second amendment. This is my thanks to you hickock, thank you for doing what you do and inspiring me to be a gun owner. Thank you to you and your son John for putting out such quality, educational videos that are not short of humor as well. I owe it to you and could probably thank you a million times more. Take care. -sincerely A pro-gun New Yorker.

@GunsHarleysUSA 8 жыл бұрын

I hear that term, "Short & Weak" a lot when guys talk about the .40 S&W and most of the time its guys who love the 9mm, so if they think the .40 S&W is Short & Weak then that would make the 9mm Puny & Frail' or Fatigued & Delicate' or Physically Unable'.....

@ManiacalMill 8 жыл бұрын

While I do hear it from all sorts of different caliber fans, the term originated from 10mm fans. The .40 S&W is literally a shorter and weaker 10mm (10mm is an older cartridge than the .40). With that said, .380, 9mm, .38 special, .357 magnum, and .357 Sig all use the same bullets (or at least can). A .380 casing is right around half the length of a .357 magnum's, so there's obviously an incredibly significant difference in the powder load.

I had an FNX40 for a half dozen years and liked its features but it never shot tbe way I thought it should. It always shot too low for me and others who shot it. FN basically blew me off when I called the about it. After watching yours and others videos and doing some more research I recently traded the FNX40 for a Gen 4 Glock 23 and after taking it to the range I am very pleased with my decision. It performs exactly as you said and was accurate right out of the box. I'm left handed and switched the magazine release to the opposite side without a problem. Probably my 70 year old eyes but I hit pretty consistently a bit to the right so I'm going to drift the rear sight a fraction to the left and I should be close to dead on for me. Thanks for your entertaining and informative videos.

Really enjoy your videos. 90% of my shooting is done with reloads, so I've stayed away from Glock pistols. Two weeks ago I purchased my first Glock, a 42. While at my FFL, I looked and handled a 23 Gen 4. It felt a lot better than the earlier models. I had them hold it for me. Picked it up yesterday, brought it home, already ran 2 boxes factory and 1 box of my reloads. No problems with the cases on my reloads. Shot accurately, recoil really light, fast back on target. Thanks for the Great reviews and demonstrations with handguns. They really help when making decisions on possible purchases.

Doug Smith Strongly disagree. The .40 is better in every way. Actually, the 10mm is more versatile than both, but the .40 can fit in 9mm frames. The .45 ACP is an inefficient, low pressure round that was only relevant in pre-Nato combat where ball was the only choice.

@xring1000, The only ammo I've had issues with was about three rounds 9mm 115 grain, and then only stuff that is FMJ and on the low end powerwise to begin with. I have the 04 spring in my G19 Gen 4. The 03 spring was stiffer, from what I've heard. Some people had more problems with that one.

Great as usual, I love my G23 Gen4. I have the Lonewolf 9mm conversion barrel and it's been flawless. God bless.

I have a g17 gen 4 as my IPSC gun. It`s won the BC Provincials and has about 30`000 rounds through it and have had 0 failures and still looks like new.

As a police officer here in the Cincinnati, Ohio area I just want to say I love all the videos. You are a sure shot and no one should ever make the decision to get in a shoutout with you. I would love to shoot with you when we are down that way !

@fujimi715 6 жыл бұрын

Agreed. I carried the G23 on duty when I was LEO and when I was working security. Carried the G27 off duty and still carry that as EDC

@arriscado75, Nope, Glocks are a bit like a hammer, wrench, or shovel. They are just extremely functional.

@danpetreikis, Hey, I got through the same indecision. It usually comes down to whether I'm going to be sitting a lot, whether it's in the car or elsewhere. The G27 wins there by just a little bit. They are a great pair, just like the G19 and G26.

Great video! I love the intro. I really like the .40 cal round (I have an XD40) and I love my Glock 19. I think you just talked me into making the G23 Gen 4 my next pistol purchase!

@paulsdino 12 жыл бұрын

Great video .One great characteristic of the gen 4 23 is the dual recoil springs. It really helps with recoil and makes for a 40 cal pistol that is surprisingly easy to control and fun too.

Phenomenal shooting in this video Mr Hickok! I finally put money down on a 23. It had become one of those pistols that I just had to own to accompany the G27. Both Gen 3 since this is Cali and limited to 10 in the mag, if I ever move to a free state I'm going crazy buying standard capacity magazines for my favorite guns.

Continued: 2) having used them professionally and the only one with such a broad knowledge of the guns you use and review and the 'best' Ammo to use for any particular situation. The Ammo is as important as the choice of an appropriate gun, and it is nice that you can say what you feel as you are not linked to any manufacturer that I know of. I watched a video of yours a week ago you talked of how bad some manufacturers Ammo is, compared to other makes for the same size and type of Ammo. Brill!

I was always stuck on the 45 cal until recently. I am very impressed with my 40 cal very good round, it's fast and powerful.

@hooked911 12 жыл бұрын

One of the best guns ever. Good power to size ratio and reliable. If I had to pick any handgun to be on my side for most situations, it would be the 'ole 23 gen 2. Purchased used and has well over 600 rounds from me alone and had one issue with a weak round. The slide didnt fully "lock" after firing a round. Not an excuse, but it was very dirty. I hit the back of the slide with the palm of my other hand and never missed a beat.

I bought my G23 G4, and filled the marketing questionnaire that came with the purchase. The form that listed the sources/personalities that inspired me to buy the G23 didn't have the one that 'really' did so, so I wrote in "Hickok 45" on the bottom before mailing it in. Semper Fi!

Thanks for taking the time to shoot(pun intended), edit and post the videos. I appreciate it. I picked up a Model 23 yesterday at my local shop. Had the opportunity to fire one over the weekend and out of all the models I tried, this was the one that I liked the best (the sub-compacts were just too short in the grip)
