The GLOCK G23 V in .40 S&W appeals to buyers who want the compact G23 frame in a factory-updated V configuration. Existing GLOCK owners find the transition straightforward since manual of arms and aftermarket parts availability are near-identical to other G-series pistols in the same frame size.

The GMB Marksman Barrel and front serrations are the headline additions on the V model, and most owners consider these practical improvements rather than cosmetic ones. Trigger feel is the standard GLOCK safe-action pull, which is polarizing: some find it predictable and competition-ready out of the box, others drop in aftermarket connectors early.

The .40 S&W chambering is a point of discussion. Fans of the caliber appreciate the stopping power relative to 9mm, while others note the sharper recoil compared to 9mm-chambered equivalents in the same frame. The G23 V's 10-round capacity in this format will be limiting for those in unrestricted states who regularly carry higher-capacity options.
