Glock 23 Value

[Kanewpadle]

For my purposes, the only thing it has going for it is it's .40S&W. Otherwise, it's a plastic kitchen appliance, barely worth the sum of its parts. Take what you have in everything and subtract 10%. GFB's* might give you what you paid for it.

Boy, that really helps.

I just recently did the conversion to my G23 (9mm barrel and Glock mag which must be a gen3 due to the feed lips being a bit smaller) however you can get away with your G23 mags as long as they feed ok for you. This way, you have the best of two worlds i.e. shooting 40 or 9 from the same weapon.

I bought one or the PSA Dagger uppers with barrel during one of the times they go on sale. That and with the Magpul glock mags and it's ready to go as a 9mm. The Magpul mags seem to work just fine. I like the 40 better than 9mm but 9mm is just much cheaper to shoot. The Dagger upper is sold as Glock Gen 3 type but works just fine with my Gen 2 frame.

Look it is a little worn but I would think you might get 425 because it has the laser. I'm not in the market for one but if it were mine I would keep it; those are reliable and the .40 is fun to shoot at the range.

You clearly have never carried a Glock 19X or 45 . . .

You clearly have never carried a Glock 21 Gen 3

I have shot them all, I'm just partial to the G23.

Being a .40 I am thinking $300. My LGS gets .40 Police Trade-Ins all the time. Short & Weak is just that too.

If .40 S&W is "Short & Weak" then what is 9mm Parabellum and more importantly, what do you carry?

I’d hang onto it if I were you. I’ve been picking up tons of .40 handguns lately as I can get them for next to nothing. One of which was a San Diego County Sheriff Gen 4 Glock 22 for $259.

I ended up picking up a 9mm barrel for it for ~$40 and now swap back and forth. It’s my one and only Glock but has been perfect my my needs.

Not being rude, just honest...it applies to me as well, as I've got one sitting only one room away from where I'm typing.

$300 is tops, only if someone is looking for a laser grip. For me, without the laser, I'd pause a bit before handing over $250 for a gun to leave in the cabin maybe.

What I'd do instead is, keep it and maybe buy a .357sig barrel for it - that's all you need for a gun that shoots a boutique but very high performing round. Use the .40 tube to practice with and carry it with .357sig.

You won't get a fair bit of coin for it, so you might as well enjoy it.

Or make it the gun you store with 1000 rounds of ammo, sealed in dry vapor bags in a watertight container... about six feet underground, somewhere that you'll remember where you buried it again if needed.

...I'd pause a bit before handing over $250 ...

Wow, that would b e a steal. For someone needing a carry gun or just a house gun you couldn't go wrong if you can get a good Glock 23 for $250. I don't need another one but I've alsays been pleased with mine. I've had it since right after the Gen 2 Glock 23 came out and never a failure of any kind.

It's at the very least worth $300, and that's only because of the police trade-in market that it's in competition. L.E. got them almost free and then they get sold cheap for an easy profit for them. Other than that, they're selling on Gunbroker and other websites used for as much as $450 depending on the condition and if it comes with all the mags, case, and paperwork.

For clarification, are they actually selling at that money, or is that the Buy It Now number?

FWIW, I don’t see many used Glocks priced under $450.

Guess I'm not a 'dedicated follower of fashion', because I'm not paying that much for a run-of-the-mill polymer pistol when I can buy a Canik or CZ for the same or less new.

PSA has a sale on their Dagger complete slide with barrel for $170 if you like where they put the optic cut. Makes your G23 also a G19.
