Question
Doug: can use 40 sw ammo in my glock 23 or do I have to use 40 acp. Is there a difference?

Answer
Mike,
There is only one type of .40 ammo for your Glock 23. It is .40 caliber S&W. I know it might seem a little confusing, but sometimes a type of ammunition takes its name from the manufacturer that introduced the cartridge.
In the case of .40 caliber S&W it was Smith & Wesson. There are other examples like .357 SIG, .45 GAP, .45 ACP, etc.
By the way, there is no .40 cal ACP.
Hope this helps...
