- 23. I use a Milt Sparks Executive Companion inside-the-pants holster. This is
- reasonably comfortable and reasonably concealable in the winter months. The
- 23 is the smaller frame model; I can't imagine concealing the larger frames
- (like the 21), but many people do. In summer or indoor carrying, I carry
- a Walther PPK/S; I find the 23 too large if I'm not wearing a coat.

- #Are the barrel lengths all the same?
-
- No. The Glocks come built around two frames, regardless of the caliber. The
- 23 is an example of the smaller frame; the 21 is an example of the larger.

- #
- #How much difference in kick is there between the 40 and 45?
- #
-
- My 23 (.40 S&W) kicks more than the 21 (.45), probably because it is a smaller
- gun. It may actually be less force, but it is a sharper kick.
-
- #Does one tend to be more accurate than the other? Feed better?
-
- Not in my experience. They all are pretty accurate and eat just about anything
- you feed them.
-
- #
- #Is the .45 worth the extra $40 or so that it costs?
-
- I would get the .45 if you think you can carry it. But if you need the smaller
- model, go for the small framed .40 S&W (the 23).
-
-
- Try before you buy.
