    There does exist the possibility of 45 GAP, instead of 45 ACP, but I wouldn't go there. You would need to change the whole upper end, and I don't think the 23's frame is reinforced like the GAP frames, although, they are not apparently reinforced enough. I am thinking that the 45 GAP is going to be an orphin in the near future.

    It would be cheaper and safer to buy the Glock 30.
    If you want a 45 compact, sell the G23 and take that money and whatever money you have that you planned on spending to convert the G23 to a 45 and you can buy the G30 and have money left over.

    Thanks for the input. I guess I will have to buy a glock 30 now.

    Not in any way that makes engineering or economical sense.

    IE "no".

    If you want a .45ACP Glock you'll have to buy one.

    If you want a service type gun that can easily convert between .40SW and .45ACP take a look at the Tanfoglio (EAA) Witness, which will also let you go to .22LR, 9mm luger, .38 super, and 10mm.

    Or a Glock 36....fewer rds. but may fit your hand better. Try them both and get the one that fits you.

    Whats wrong with your Glock 23? Do you think if you have to use it, the 40 caliber bullets will not be effective?? Why do you think you need a 45? The Glock 23 is the perfect size carry and concealment pistol, with 14 rounds of 40 caliber ammo, you will be ready for just about any situation, except for a zombie attack.

    Agreed with CS8162. What is your goal with the conversion?
    You have a good gun why mod it...
    If you could!
