Can I use a Glock 23 40cal for target practice?
I have a Glock 23 40cal that I use for target practice. It won’t hurt your bank account so it’s practical to shoot. I bought a 357 sig barrel and dropped it in. That is an expensive Hi Velocity / Performance round, but it’s like having a second gun for $105. I use it for my off duty and back up gun. Reply EddyJamessays: April 20, 2015 at 7:03 pm
