They are different sizes.  The 22 is a fullsize model and the 23 is a compact model.  I chose the 23 because of its concealability.  This is my daily carry gun so I have to be comfortable with it.  It is a good size for me to carry and it isn't too small so I actually feel like I can hold onto it.  13+1 is a good amount of ammo as well.  They are both great guns but the 22 is too big for me to conceal comfortably IWB.

I wouldn't say that the 23 is a compact model, but it is a bit smaller.

I got the 23 because I was looking for a new handgun to start carrying that had a lot of accessories made for it and was easy to find replacement parts for. I decided to get the 23 over the 22 because the 22 just didn't fit my hand properly.  I didn't have that problem with the 23. It was comfortable for me to shoot and I was prety accurate with it as well.

Shoot both and decide which one is best for you.

the 23 is listed as glock's compact 40

i got the 23 cause it fits me perfectly


handle them and see which one fits you best

and after you have decided and bought one go back and buy the other

I like the glock 23 because of the size,  it is my daily gun and conceals well and shoots great.

The 23 is easier to carry and can shoot about as well as the 22, and take the longer mags as well.

I got a Glock 23 for the reasons stated above.   You won't be dissapointed.

I have both, I used to carry the 23 because it was compact,
but I never got used to the short grip, as I have large hands,
so I got a 22 and it was a perfect fit for me.
It was also just as concealable as the 23.
I"m 6' and 165 lbs and there were no concealment problems
with the 22.
I carry the 22 all the time now
You should go to a range and rent both and decide which one
feels and shoots better for you.
