GLOCK G23C .40 S&W
Description: Guns Listing ID: 568101 What “23C" means — core differences from a standard G23 The G23C is essentially a Glock 23 with factory compensating/porting features: the slide and barrel have muzzle/port cuts and the barrel is ported near the muzzle. Those ports redirect some of the high-pressure gas upward (and the slide cuts allow those gases to escape) to reduce muzzle rise and perceived recoil, improving muzzle control and faster follow-up shots with the .40 S&W cartridge. Mechanically and internally it is otherwise very similar to the standard G23: same frame size, striker-fired Safe Action system, magazines, takedown method, etc. How the compensation works — practical effects Ports in the barrel bleed gas upward as the bullet exits; that upward gas flow counters muzzle flip (a downward torque on the muzzle). Slide cuts give the escaping gas somewhere to go and reduce slide mass forward slightly — combined effects reduce vertical muzzle movement and can speed follow-ups. Tradeoffs: increased muzzle blast and flash (especially in low light), louder perceived report for bystanders, and more side-blast (not ideal for a partner at your side). Compensated pistols can also be harsher on hearing/eyes if you’re not using appropriate protection. Compensation performs best with consistent, reasonably stout pressure loads; very-low-pressure loads may not generate enough gas to fully realize the effect. Typical specifications (representative) Exact figures vary by generation (Gen 3 / Gen 4 / Gen 5) and specific factory run. The G23C generally shares the G23’s footprint and magazine capacity: Caliber: .40 S&W Standard magazine capacity: 13 + 1 (factory) — same magazines as regular G23s for the same generation Barrel length (approx): ~4.0 in (compact-length; the barrel is the same length as a standard G23 but ported) Overall length / height / width: essentially the same as a standard G23 for its generation (compact footprint similar to Glock 19 family) Unloaded weight: very close to a standard G23 — ports and slide cuts change mass minimally; expect the weight to be within a few ounces of non-C models (varies by generation). Sights: factory three-dot dovetail sights (metal or polymer depending on generation); many owners swap to night or low-profile sights to avoid interference with ports or added sights optics. Accessory rail: standard Glock rail on the dust cover (same as other G23 variants). Finish / frame: typical Glock polymer frame with steel slide; slide finish depends on generation (nDLC on later models, older models blued/tenifer).
