    I just bought a Glock 23 and love it.
    There is a company {FAC] offering extended, ported barrels for semi auntomatic pistols.
    They offer one for the Glock 23.
    Any of you have experience with this product or comments?
    As always, thanks for the help.

    most likely what you are hearing is the firing pin moving in the firing pin channel...its not under any tension when the trigger is pressed to the rear, and not reset

    there is nothing wrong with the firing pin moving in such a manner....that is actually one of the function tests on a Glock


    everytime you break down your Glock to clean, when you reassemble it...function test it...

    1. ensure gun is unloaded,

    2. pull slide to the rear and release

    3. pull the trigger, you should feel and hear the trigger and firing pin click, as the firing pin releases and moves forward

    4. keeping the trigger depressed, pull the slide to the rear and release it forward.

    5. ease off the trigger, it should move forward and click as it resets

    That checks to make sure your firing mech is working and your trigger reset is functioning properly


    hope thats helpful

    Newbie question. I have a glock 23 i got used from a friend and it rattles when i shake it. I took the mag out and still rattles. Does not rattle when it is cocked. Any thoughts?


    It's a Glock, what were you expecting?

    Yeah,

    The uncocked firing pin assembly is free to move. . .the cocked one is under spring tension and isn't.

    I don't make a habit of shaking Glocks, but I suspect that's normal for this gun.

    So long as it goes "bang" everytime, I wouldn't worry about it.
