I carry a Glock for PD and shoot a Glock in competition. I am not a fan of the C models. First, I really do not think it makes that much difference in muzzle rise at all. So for what I see as limited benefit, you get:
1. A really loud gun that
2. Blinds you in low light much more than a regular barrel and that
3. blackens any white or FO front sight you might want and that
4. blows the toxic crap from the firing process up into your face instead of down range
Use the extra $ for ammo and range time instead. More practice will make you a better shooter than a barrel with holes in it. Since most folks refuse to practice and insist on buying equipment, ifyou must spend the $ on stuff get either a better holster or a few extra mags.
Oh, and your Glock, whichever one you get, will come from the factory with all the hop-up parts it needs. I have bought different triggers and all kind of different stuff over the years in an effort to improve my Glock. At times, I have achieved a lighter trigger pull that I could feel. Lock time might have been better, too, at least that's what the ads said. And my barrel may have been capable of better accuracy.
But when I really noticed the $500 of aftermarket sh!t in the gun was when it broke and I got DNFs on stages.
The stock stuff may not cost as much, but it does work.

QuoteSome months back they gave us all new mags as the ones that were originally issued had MAJOR feed problems with hollow point ammo. They work fine with FMJ but barely feed HP at all.
My two Glocks act exactly like this. Bought them both around the same time, 1999, but have different mags. The 10 round version from the assault ban era and some pre-ban mags. Even put Wolf springs in the pre-ban ones.
Been meaning to have a gun smith look at them, but for now I just load them with FMJ rounds which feed fine.
It's the lip of the mag that causes the malfunction. I think the springs are a bit differen't too. Not sure about the Pre/Post ban as ALL the ones I have are 15 rounders marked "Restricted LE/Govt Only." I'm sure a knowledgeable local gunsmith can get you the right mags.
I will be home on the 10th somewhere between then and me having to go back to work we are doing the following.
Jeff, Jason, Douva and myself: Range all day for some skeet and target practice. Kim teaches Alicia, Whit, and (one of Douvas many) some artistic dance moves while were at the range. After a long day of shooting we will arrive home for beverages and a show.
It sounds like such a good plan but i know they wouldn't let us go to the range without them
Not only will you look better, feel better, and fuck better; you'll have significantly increased your life expectancy. --Douva

You could always buy a "C" model and order an extra "non-C" barrel.
I own a G23C and I love it. It does make the front sight a little dirty but nothing that can't be fixed with a quick wipe of a cloth (like your shirt). I don't think they're THAT much louder than "non-C" models. But I do think the "C" model has quite a bit less muzzle flip. As far as the blinding yourself in low light situations. That's been a controversy for a long time now. I don't think it makes a difference.
Another thing you'll hear about the "C" models is the potential for burning yourself if shot with your arm retracted and close to your side. Whatever.
I'm sure most people would suggest...borrow or rent a "C" model and shoot it and see what YOU think.
I personally love my G23C!

Many times.
No need to go that far. A good DA/SA with a decocking lever is what I like for "normal" concealed carry. I have a Ruger P 94 DC that I like and I carried the Sig 229 professionally for 2 years. Very good guns. Kinda HOG LEGS but they both shoot nicely, handle fairly easily if they fit your hands, and are as safe as any weapon can be and still be useful.
