I have a G23. I really like it but can see why people prefer the 9mm.
I have been seriously considering getting a 9mm conversion kit for it because of the cost of ammo and the recoil. IF I were to do it all over again, I would probably go 9mm and get a G17 |

Definitely 9mm for all of the reasons
19>23 G23 has harsher snappier recoil than than g20 despite 10mm's 35-40% energy advantage And if you consider getting a 17 instead of a 19 forget that and get a 34 instead Alternatively if you'd like to buy a nice gun get a cz or a sig 
<- will never not have a g19 again

If you reload, get a 40. If you dont reload, start reloading and get the 40.
I shoot my 40's really well. When I put my 9mm and 40 on the timer shooting uspsa, my hit factors are about the same. I find that I'm a tad bit sloppier with my 9 on controlled pairs where my second shots with a 40 are more deliberate/controlled. Hydrashocks for carry, plated for traning/plinking. Again, thats if you reload. |

Agree. 17 is better than 19. |

.40 for me, but personal preference.

9mm. Preferably with +P 124g GDHP.
I still have some old .40 duty ammo - 155g at 1250 fps. Our current .40 duty load is Federal HST; 180g at 1010 fps. The former is 535 fpe, the latter is 410 fpe. .40 short and weak? Only if you suck at math. ETA - I prefer carrying 9mm, but still have a 23 and a 35. I do not feel under gunned with either. In fact, I use Double Tap Hunter in my 35 when backpacking, 200g hard cast at 1150 fps and 585 fpe. Can't do that with a 9mm. |

The answer is easy, get the M19. 9mm ammo is $9.50 per 100 on sale when purchased in bulk. It doesn't kick. It has greater capacity. The exact same size as the M23 so if you ever want a .40 your holster will fit. Buy night sights, either straight from Glock or aftermarket, it doesn't matter. The original plastic sights scream CHEAP. Quote HistoryQuoted:

9mm all the way. Cheaper ammo, nicer recoil, higher capacity.

This is arfcom the answer is always Glock 19. But I would also consider the Glock 17. Also a 26 and a few more 19's just because you will have already bought the lots of mags for one |
