The GLOCK 23’s design centers on the .40 S&W cartridge, which delivers greater terminal ballistic energy than 9mm in a similar sized platform. Its locked-breech, short-recoil operation ensures reliable cycling with various ammunition pressures. The fixed barrel and low bore axis contribute to manageable recoil, making it a proven choice for law enforcement and qualified civilian carriers.
