Good choice on the G23. you may need to be banned from the LGS for a little while. i know i am!!!! The G23 is a great gun. I wanted a g19 but got a 23 first. I liked it so much I went back and bought a 19 as well. They are great guns. I live in texas so I can only carry the glocks about 3 months out of the year. The rest of the year I carry my Kahrs.
