| Getting close to getting the new G23 RTF. Handled one the other day and I was impressed. This is my CCW and I will be selling my current Gen 3 G23 to get the new RTF. |

If you have a 3rd gen G23 already for carry, I strongly recommend that you go to the gunshop and have them let you put the G23RTF2 in your carry holster and walk around with it a bit.
I wanted a G19RTF2 big time until I got to handle one. The grip texturing is pretty sharp. Without an undershirt I think the texturing could get a little abrasive on your skin. I wear a wife beater and the texturing kind of wanted to grab the undershirt as I moved around. Make sure you are confident with your decision before you send your 3rd gen G23 packing. |

That is the reason I never got one of the RTF2's. I like the texture I like how it feels in my hand but I do not like how it feels IWB or in a holster near my cloths/skin. |

I have the G17 RTF and G23..I really like the RTF feeling on my hand, but probably not want it as CCW..I was looking at the G23RTF too...but considering the original now. That just me..reconsider your thinking before sending your g23 packing to someone hand..

The texture has a very aggresive feel. It will definately grab clothing or skin. |

I like the RTF as well, and would be willing to knock the texture down a bit for carry. |

I like the RTF as well, and would be willing to knock the texture down a bit for carry. That would work. I have a 19 RTF2 and the more I handle it, the more the texture is wearing down a little. It is not nearly as "spikey" compared to new. If you want one, I would get it. Glock is going to discontinue them once the Gen4 comes out. |
