The fact that it functions just like an AR is a bonus.
Looking forward to shooting them both soon!!
I'll probably keep the G23. I don't even know what gen it is. I bought it in 1997. I'll probably make that my bedroom PDW. I keep a decent amount of ammo for each caliber i have, so with PD being it's only duty, i'll only need a box or two of rounds.

I don't even own a .22 at the moment (much to my chagrin). I used to have a Ruger 10/22 but I sold it to fund something else.
And regarding the Glock - If you snap a picture of it I'll be able to tell you what generation it is.
If it is rail-less and lacks finger grooves on the grip of the frame it is most likely a Gen2.

Yeah I handled the HK 416 .22 and wasn't very impressed by it (sadly). Go for the S&W for sure.

The Hi-Power feels so smooth and like something that will last forever where the polymer gun (Glocks included) feel like disposable toys in comparison.
Make no mistake, I like my polymer guns, and have no doubt that they are at least as accurate and reliable as Hi-Power or a good 1911 (which is a similar design for those who are new to hand guns), but the contrast in feel when you take them down and manipulate them is striking.
I also know that they are antiquated and blah blah blah, but it is hard to fault the looks and function of a high quality revolver.
I encourage anyone to get their hands on a good steel gun, 1911 or wheel gun, if you have the chance. They feel so solid.

I want this so badly:
