Glock 23 in Canada?
- Thread starter boxcoach
- Start date
I'm pretty sure there are plenty in Canada.
I have had several G23s, both the Gen 2, and Gen 3, and a few more G27s.
With the original shorter barrels, these were POLICE ISSUE for some departments. When dept needs changed, these were traded in or sold as surplus . When I bought my police trade in G23s and g27s, I rebarreled and reregistered all of them to make them easier to resell.
The G23 balances the best of all the Glocks for me,
however,
because in Canada it is near impossible to get a .22 LR AA conversion kit for the G23/G27 size frame,
I sold all my G23's and I now shoot a G22 set up in .357 SIG, 9 MM, .40 S&W, AND 22 LR.
YPMMV,
but this works best for me.

Yes they were available before the current prohib nonsense became law. - dan
Yes, Graeco, I'd rather avoid modifications, and I don't really like the idea of having the barrel protrude from the slide. I'd rather buy a model 22, if I wanted a restricted model. I believe those of us who have a 12-6 PAL have an obligation to put a stop to converting prohibs to restricted.

New one on Sporteque site is quite a bit more expensive, did you find used one at that price... because it seems to be gone?

Boxcoach, you and I agree. I personally hate seeing perfectly good 12.6 guns turned into restricted guns. It does NOT help with resale value and it further reduces the pool of cool guns in the country. There are plenty of us 12.6 licensed people out there who happily buy 12.6 guns when they come up for sale.
