Editor’s Note:

The Glock 23 is a compact version and is a popular handgun for police and government agencies who prefer .40 S&W. One of the big selling points is a large capacity yet lightweight feel. This one is great if you want a compact concealed carry weapon or if you have smaller hands.

Glock 27

$539.00

“The Glock 27 is the subcompact of the .40 S&W Glock group. It’s small and lightweight, but packs a punch. With a 9+1 capacity, it’s well suited for backup gun carry or regular ‘ole concealed carry.” – Trevor Dobrygoski

final verdict

If you’re just starting out, and want a .40 S&W model, I would look at the Glock 23. The sizing is great for almost everyone, it’s easy enough to conceal, yet big enough to open carry if you’d prefer.
