This Gen 2 Glock 23 delivers the compact .40 S&W format with the hallmark rail-less frame of the era and Glock’s Safe Action system. The slide is marked "GLOCK 23 AUSTRIA 40 S&W," and the pistol carries Glock proof/logo stamps, "MADE IN AUSTRIA," "GLOCK, INC., SMYRNA, GA" frame marking, and a U.S. import serial plate. Matching serials on the slide, barrel, and frame add to its cohesiveness.
The 4.02-inch carbon steel barrel and Tenifer-era nitrocarburized treatment on the slide and barrel provide the durable matte black finish associated with 1990s production. Rear vertical serrations, an external extractor, and a right-side ejection port round out the classic Gen 2 slide features.
Sights are fixed and provide a straightforward sight picture. Controls include a square-button magazine release. Safety features are Glock’s trigger safety, firing pin safety, and drop safety.
This pistol accepts Glock double-stack .40 S&W magazines for the G23 pattern and comes with two Glock factory 13-round magazines. The installed aftermarket rubber grip sleeve with molded finger grooves offers a different in-hand feel while preserving the original polymer frame underneath.
