Description

Quick overview Model: Glock 23 Gen4 Caliber: .40 S&W Platform: Compact frame (same footprint class as Glock 19 family) Role: Compact duty/concealed carry / backup with more terminal energy than 9mm; popular with law enforcement and civilians who prefer .40 S&W in a compact package. What “Gen4” changed (key Gen4 upgrades) Generation 4 introduced several ergonomics and internals that differentiate it from earlier Glocks: Modular backstrap system — interchangeable backstraps (small/medium/large) to tune grip circumference and fit a broader range of hands. Dual recoil spring assembly — an updated recoil spring guide (two-piece assembly) aimed at reducing felt recoil and extending service life of the spring. Enlarged, reversible magazine catch — larger paddle and built to be reversible for left-handed users (allowing easier mag release for lefties). Rougher grip texture & subtle frame geometry changes — more aggressive texture (varies a bit by production run) and slightly revised grip shaping for better purchase. Other internal/finish variations — Gen4 pistols were produced across several finish and minor parts runs (Tenifer/other finishes on slides depending on year), so small visual/finish differences exist across production years.
