Glock C models

[Voodoochild]

What are ya'll's thoughts on C model Glock's. Specifically the G22/23 Models (.40 Cal). Been itching to get either a 22 or 23 Gen4 model lately. Got a GSSF coupon burning a hole in my pocket.

I would not CCW one but in a longer slide version for games it makes sense. What do you want yo do with it?

Extremely loud. Don't shoot on a covered range concussion will make you think you blew up the gun. Ports made more noise than doing anything for recoil. Reduced muzzle flip and sped recovery but it wasn't worth it to me.

This was only with a G19C that I special ordered for my wife back in 2000. I won't have another one.

Both muzzle blast and reduced muzzle flip would probably be even more noticeable with the .40 or .357.

Sorry I don't have any experience with any other C models.

I'm fairly certain Glock has discontinued the C models and they didn't make any Gen4 C models.

My local store had a 22C and two 23C's, all Gen3's, when I was in there last weekend.

ETA: I have not shot any C model Glocks.

So if you find one and really want I suggest you get it.

I briefly had a G20C, but sold it due to the grip size. I noticed an interesting phenomenon: although muzzle flip was reduced, I could still feel the ache of a long range session in my hand. It was definitely loud, and I noticed extra flash while shooting indoors. I tried shooting from tight-in retention from position 3 and felt the up-blast, but I think it would have been manageable in a self-defense situation and there was no injury or debris that would prevent me from continuing to fight. If you want one, know the drawbacks and benefits, and if it fits your needs, I see no reason not to. FYI there are no gen 4 C models in the US, and I don't believe there are plans to do so.

Some brands of bullet, usually sintered copper matrix type, can fracture the ejection ports, breaking the barrels.

What Big A said. Glock discontinued their "C" models and were never put on Gen 4s.
Dealers still have "C" models so if you've always wanted one now is probably the time to go for it.

The C models actually don't make much sense for competition. In almost every scenario I can think I would maybe want a C model, a regular model with a real compensator just seems superior. One exception- I would like to build a 17LC so to speak- 17L and get a ported barrel for it, add an optic, magwell, and other small parts, and try the setup for USPSA open.

A good friend of mine has a 23C. I didn't notice much recoil reduction and it didn't improve my shooting. It was extremely loud and the gasses coming out of the top annoyed me. I would be scared to shoot it with out ear protection unless I absolutely had too. I wouldn't recommend one and if you ever need to trade/sell it you'll probably get less than a regular model.

I make it a point to have pretty much every Glock in normal calibers so of course I have the 22C and 23C Here's my overview:



In short---if you want one, get one!
