GLOCK G23 V .40 S&W 10+1 4.02″ Compact Pistol

The GLOCK G23 V .40 S&W delivers the performance of the .40 Smith & Wesson cartridge in a compact handgun platform designed to balance shootability, capacity and manageable overall dimensions.

Featuring an approximately 4.02-inch barrel, compact frame and 10-round magazine, this G23 V provides a 10+1 capacity when loaded with an additional round in the chamber.

For shooters who prefer .40 S&W but don’t necessarily want the additional size of a full-size duty pistol, the G23 V provides a versatile option for personal defense, home defense, professional applications, training and regular range use.

Compact GLOCK G23 Platform

The GLOCK 23 occupies the compact position within GLOCK’s .40 S&W handgun lineup.

Its dimensions provide a useful middle ground between larger full-size pistols and smaller subcompact handguns. The compact frame offers enough gripping surface for confident control while keeping the overall package manageable.

This versatility makes the G23 V suitable for:

• Personal and home defense
• Duty and professional applications
• Range shooting
• Firearms training
• Vehicle and emergency preparedness
• General-purpose handgun ownership
• Chambered in .40 S&W

The G23 V is chambered in .40 Smith & Wesson, a well-established defensive handgun cartridge with a long history of use among law-enforcement agencies and civilian shooters.

For shooters who prefer a larger and heavier projectile than typical 9mm loads, the .40 S&W remains an appealing defensive cartridge.

Pairing the cartridge with the compact G23 platform provides substantial defensive capability while retaining dimensions suitable for a variety of applications.

10+1 Capacity

This configuration of the GLOCK G23 V includes a 10-round magazine, providing a total 10+1 capacity when loaded with an additional round in the chamber.

The 10-round configuration is particularly useful for buyers in jurisdictions where magazine capacity is restricted.

Shooters can retain the compact dimensions and handling characteristics of the G23 while using a magazine designed around lower-capacity requirements.

Always verify current state and local firearm and magazine regulations before purchasing.

4.02-Inch Barrel

The G23 V features an approximately 4.02-inch barrel, maintaining the compact proportions associated with the G23 platform.

The roughly four-inch barrel provides a practical balance between overall handgun size and shootability, making the pistol manageable for defensive applications while providing enough size for comfortable training and range sessions.

Compact Frame and Balanced Handling

The G23 V uses a compact frame, providing enough gripping surface for controlled shooting without the additional height and bulk of a traditional full-size handgun.

This middle-ground sizing gives the G23 considerable versatility.

For shooters who find subcompact pistols too small but don’t need a larger duty-size handgun, the G23 provides a practical compromise between portability and shootability.

Fixed Sights

This GLOCK G23 V configuration features fixed sights (FS), providing a simple and familiar sight picture for defensive shooting, training and range use.

The straightforward fixed-sight arrangement complements the G23’s role as a practical general-purpose .40 S&W handgun.

GLOCK Safe Action® System

The G23 V incorporates GLOCK’s established Safe Action® System, which uses three independently operating passive mechanical safeties.

These safeties disengage sequentially when the trigger is intentionally pulled and automatically re-engage when the trigger is released.

The system provides consistent operation without requiring the shooter to manually disengage a traditional external safety lever.

Compact .40 S&W With 10-Round Capacity

The GLOCK G23 V provides shooters with the performance of .40 S&W in a handgun that remains more compact than traditional full-size duty pistols.

Its combination of a compact frame, approximately 4.02-inch barrel and 10+1 capacity creates a versatile handgun suitable for defensive, professional and recreational applications.

For shooters searching for a compact GLOCK .40 S&W with a 10-round magazine, the G23 V offers a practical combination of caliber, manageable dimensions and proven GLOCK design.
