are there any out there? I had one but a friend wanted it and was killed before he paid me for it.

I think that might be a good place to ask.

I don't think there's any such thing as a Gen 1 G23. Pretty sure all Gen 1's were 17's and 19's.

I think you are correct, and the 19's were a rarity.

That's correct only 17's and a few 19's in Gen 1

I have a gen one 19 c

A very rare beast - I've read that the 17 is the only 1st gen model made, but I've also read that a handful of Gen 1 19's exist.

You are thinking Gen 2 on the 23. I owned one of the first 23's to come out and they were definitely all Gen 2's. The confusion comes from most people not knowing what the Gen 1 looked like. Do a google search of the Gen 1 Glock vs the Gen 2 and pay close attention to the grip.

The big difference between a so called Gen 1 and Gen 2 is the addition of the serrations to the back strap and checkering to the front strap. Believe me that made a big difference, the grip on the Gen 1 is slick! A G23 gen 2 is still my favorite carry gun.
