I now have $570 and thinking about purchase another glock but I don't know which one to get. Well here are my 2 choices

A.  G23C
B.  G32C (ammo kinda hard to find)



I have a little concern about recoil of the 32C (.357 sig), I heard its kick more than .40SW. Is that true?

I would not get the C model.  Go with a plain 23.   The recoil is not bad enough to need a compensator , and I know I sure as hell would not want to shoot a compensated pistol close to my body in a defensive situation.

i own and shoot my 23c extensively without any problems.

Compenated (IMHO) a no-no for self-defense.  Most defensive handgun uses are at night.  The flash from the comp ports can temporarily blind you.  If the pistol is close to your body, you can get the debris as well.

Comps are for competition.

357 SIG is a sharper impulse than the .40, the overall recoil is similar.  (My .40 experience is from a buddies XD, not a Glock)  

Find a range that rents out and try them both, before you buy.

Get the G32C and pick up the G23 barrel then you will have both. If you don't like the "C" then you could sell the G32C barrel and still have a G23.

+1, Honestly, i dont think you will go wrong with any of your options, but this is the most practical.  If you get the 32c, you can have everything - a 32, 23, 32c, and 23c.  I agree with the compensated model not being the best for concealed carry, but it sure is fun to shoot.
