About the Gun

The Glock 23 V is a compact pistol that retains the external dimensions and overall layout of previous G23 models. It features internal modifications to the slide rear plate, striker channel, and trigger housing geometry. These internal changes were introduced as part of the V-series platform in late 2025. The 23 V maintains the established compact dimensions, magazine capacity, and mechanical layout of prior G23 variants. The pistol uses a standard trigger shoe while retaining the 'Safe Action' system with its three internal safeties. The slide is prepared as a standard non-optics-ready configuration.

Analysis

The V-series designation on the 23 V reflects Glock's implementation of specific internal geometry adjustments to the slide rear plate, striker channel, and trigger housing. These changes were introduced in 2025 as part of a platform-wide update aimed at regulatory compliance and reduced compatibility with certain aftermarket components. The external profile, grip dimensions, and magazine compatibility remain unchanged from previous compact .40 S&W models. This configuration positions the 23 V as the baseline compact .40 S&W offering in the V-series lineup. It is distinct from the Gen6 platform released in 2026, which incorporates additional ergonomic updates including RTF6 texture, flat-faced trigger, extended beavertail, and the factory-integrated Optic Ready System. The 23 V uses the standard slide preparation rather than any optics-ready system.
