    Thanks. Don't worry about my getting big-headed or anything. I'll always be the goofy person I've always been.

    My first Glock was a G26 and I regret selling it. I only did so to move to a slightly larger model, the G19. Although it fits my hand much better I wish I would have kept my G26 because I could have just gotten a grip extension for it and used G19 magazines and kept the same gun. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE my G19 but I really liked the versatility of that tiny G26 with the way you could adapt it into different configurations (grip, mags, etc).

    And yes, as with others, all the above, it was influenced by Hickok45. I don’t have the option to try them before purchasing. I figure if this man gives the approval, thats good for me.

To switch from 40 to 9mm, you can get an after market conversion barrel. Going down is much easier, than going up in Caliber.

I also bought a stealthgear holster for my 32 and it carries and conceals as well as my baby glock. I even picked up a bond arms ranger 2. What a beast that triple ooo buckshot is.

    I've used a G27 as a carry gun for a few years now and I love it.
    I just picked up the Lone Wolf Conversion barrel (to 9mm) from Cheaper than Dirt and it works great. It's like getting a G26 for about $130 (barrel's around $100 and I picked up a 9mm mag). Since 9mm ammo's cheaper than .40 cal, I should actually save money in the end.
    Get the G27 & the Lone Wolf barrel and you'll have the best of both worlds!

    @hickok45 Thanks for making this great video. IMO, the .40S&W is a bit too powerful (recoil) in a subcompact package. I find the 9mm is the perfect chambering in a pistol that I can hold onto only with two fingers. I agree with everything you said about the G26. Very shootable! Love it. Got my G23 for the big 'ol .40 blast! Keep making great videos. We luv ya!

      I have to agree with you. I rented a Model 27 at a local gun range just to see how "snappy" the .40 S&W cartridge was. I was so "put off" that I bought one as soon as I'd turned the range rental in. I love this gun. I have a Gen 2 Model 19, and a Gen 3 Model 30, and I prefer the 27 to either of those. I like them all, but I like the 27 just a bit more.

    • @johnsonmcdick3002
      @johnsonmcdick3002 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      prefer 45 or 9mm - the 45 deffinitely for power. its more of a slow back push like launching a rocket. the 40 is a bit snappy unless you go with a good brand with proper recoil springs and recoil suppression / Ruger and Glock mute the snappy 40 issue. ruger does a better job. but you wont find a baby ruger in 40 :)

      @krstrid 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's not that a 40 sucks. 40 is a good round but... I think it is better in a carbine. Even Hickok can't fire that 27 nearly as fast as his 26 which for him will put out more damage per second than his 27 in the end. Also 9 is cheap to shoot. Also if you have smaller hands the 9 will just be more pleasant to shoot all around. With the right defense rounds a 9mm can get close to a fmj 45 for a very controllable platform. I also shoot 45s and prefer a heavier but steady push than a lighter yet snappier 40. All in user preference I guess. I used Hickoks videos and chose the 26.

    my philosophy is shoot smart and shoot straight :) GET SOME!

    Greg, I really have to credit you with being the man who got me off the fence about Glocks. I never really "disliked" the design and unlike so many, I always thought it was a nice-looking gun. My only issue with the gun came to light when you were talking about how many people want to be "free-thinkers" and search for a gun that's more unique to avoid being a "sheep." You were so right, and I've since found myself openly admiring the design and wanting one for myself. Thanks for the wisdom!

      For range use that may be suitable but I wouldn't recommend this for carry using just a 9mm barrel. Extractor in Glock 27/33 isn't 100% reliable with a 26 drop in barrel. Reliable enough for the range but I don't trust my life to hybrids such as that.

      You can use the 40cal mags for 9mm but I wouldn't use them for defensive purposes.....at the range yes. But also....I've noticed that if you use the 40 cal mags for 9mm you have to use them at the beginning with 9mm, meaning brand new with never having a 40 round inserted. The feed lips need to seat. If you have a 40 cal mag that has had even one round inserted I it the 9mm rounds will pop out, I've tried it.
