G17 is best Glock made and the G22 is same size as G17. If you are going OWB G22 is obvious choice the G23 is just easier to conceal. The added weight will help with the slightly snappier recoil of the 10mm Kurz so I would choose the G22.

For a duty weapon OWB, definitely the G22. And, that comes from someone who has two G23s, but one is CC and the other has been converted to 9mm can host.

Go with the 22 since it is a duty gun.
Also makes it easier on courses of fire to have the same ammo capacity as the rest of the guys on the line. |

G22. Not even a question and I have carried a 23 for 17 years off duty.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I have XXL hands and 2 decades of experience with handguns, so recoil to me is negligible. I've owned a 17, 19, 21, and 23 and haven't noticed any extreme difference between them recoil wise. My greatest concern is comfort while driving. Full framed pistols tend to jab me right in the pelvic bone, whereas the 19 which I've carried on duty in the past has been fairly comfortable. I was leaning toward the 22, and I think that's what I'll end up choosing. The issued holster is a Safariland ALS/SLS standard ride, and in the past I've use the ALS/SLS mid-ride with the Glock 19. Guess I'll just suck it up and go with the full sized frame.  I think once you adjust to the size (which is really not much bigger) it will not be a concern. I hear you on big hands they soak up recoil. It is funny when I shoot with some of my Trump handed friends who pick up my G21 and complain it is huge and it feels right at home in my hands.

I also had the option of picking between the 23 and 22 at my agency. Personally I would pick whichever is most comfortable in your hand. Personally I chose the G23 since it's a perfect for my hands.
I also like that it's smaller which helps with space with all the other random gizmo's and gadgets they constantly issue us to attach to our duty belts and make mandatory to carry as if there is unlimited space. Pepper spray, baton, gloves, flashlight, first aid kit, handcuffs, tourniquet, rubber gloves, recorder, the taser we CAN'T EVEN USE ANYMORE due to that new legislation. Yet still carry it because the agency paid out the butt for them. And it's the size of an x frame s&w.....etc etc |

I have both. Both shoot about the same to me. Slight more "felt recoil" in the 23, but just minor.
But where I see the difference, is in carry. The 22 (Yes, the 22) carries slightly more comfortable for me in the same holster. A Comp-Tac MTAC, but I carry a S&W 1911ES either way. Glocks only when I am in a boat out on the ocean. |

I have big meaty hands. Big enough that the mags on the 19/23 tend to bite me during reloads. So 17/22 for me (21 issued actually)

Which one fits your hand better? Do you intend to carry it off-duty? How you answer those two question should help you decide.

My 23 was my first carry gun starting almost 8 years ago. Just picked up a 22 the other week, and I will likely be carrying that more often when I'm not at work. I used to care if I printed at all, but got over that quick. The size isn't much larger going up to the 22, and my off work attire allows me to conceal easier than what I wear at work.
I've been carrying the 22 in a Crossbreed IWB holster, no issues. If capacity is an issue, I'd say get the 23, with 23 mags with a +2 extension. That's how I carry my 27 frequently. |
