You might remember my post from last week about my new Gen 4 Glock 27. This was my first Gen4 and I quickly grew to like it much more than I thought I would.
With that said, I decided yesterday to stop by Glockmeister and pick up a new Glock 23 Gen4 to go with it. I like buying my Glocks from Glockmeister for a couple of reasons. First, they are the cheapest local shop on their Gen4 prices; and second, because I can have the gun upgraded with night sights before I even leave the store. So I stopped in, picked out the gun, had them throw some Meprolight's, a smooth trigger, and a 3.5lb connector on it and I was on my way in less than 30 min.
Went out by lake pleasant to go dirt bike riding yesterday afternoon with a friend and brought the new G23 along as well. Got out to a very remote area and put 100 rounds through the gun, fresh out of the box. No issues, of course. The gun feels good. Recoil feels less than the Gen 3 I used to have. I'll be taking it to the range more this week to get a better feel for it. Overall, I really like the gun and Gen 4 series as well.
To go along with the gun, I found a Galco KingTuk holster. I didn't realize Galco was making these. They are basically a clone of the Crossbreed SuperTuck or the Comp-Tac MTAC holsters. The quality seems very good. It's two layers of leather - saddle quality leather on the back and soft black napa leather on the front. Metal belt clips that are depth adjustable and a thin molded kydex shell are present on the outside. I haven't actually gone out in public to carry this yet, but so far it seems pretty nice around the house. I also like that I can use the holster with my G27 as well. The Galco is cut similar to the SuperTuck with their 'combat cut.' The Galco was $50 and available right now vs. a similar SuperTuck set up running around $90 with a 4-6 week wait.
I'll try to get some good pics taken shortly and update this thread with them. For now, here's an image of the holster with a Gen 3 Glock that I found online:
