I have carried a Gen 2 G27 for almost twenty years. My agency issued a G23 and the G27 was bought for back up and/or off duty carry. Never a hiccup or a bobble, reliable as sin and damned near as ugly. Easy to forgive any aesthetic shortcoming in exchange for power and reliability. Welcome to the G27 fan club.
I've been carrying a G27 as my everyday carry for years for many of the reasons you mentioned. It's never failed me and very easy to get used to handling. I also really like the larger magazines for backup.
5 years after Sootch made this video, it still rings true. 40 cal is a damned good round. My Glock 22, Gen 3 is my favorite pistola amigo. I do own a S&W Shield 9mm, but I prefer Glock over S&W. And, where Glock is concerned, I prefer Gen 3 over any other Gen. This ongoing debate between the 9 and 40 is ridiculous. It's all a matter of personal preference, and of course, shot placement.
Glock 23 and 27... own a few gen2 and gen3, never had a problem with 'em. A 23 has been my EDC since for ever. Shot IDPA, IPSC, what ever. Love the .40S&W. Never had a problem with recoil either.
Don’t quote me on this, cause I’m not 100% sure… But I do believe the 26 and 27 are same exact gun, just different caliber. All the measurements and dimensions are the same, so you can take a 27 and make it a 9mm just by changing out the barrel. But like I say…I’m not positive about that…So DO check with the manufacturer first before doing anything stupid! 😂
Still have my G27. Back up duty gun. Got it in '99. We went to the. 45 and now the 9. I've bought and sold a ton of pistols but I keep my G27. Also one of the few guns I didn't do any "upgrades" other than sights . It's like a revolver, my "dirty" gun. Great little piece.
yousef ahmed I own and carry a G27. It has a decent amount of recoil. I would recommend the G26 9mm to most people for concealed carry. For some reason I shoot 0.40cal guns well, so I stuck with 0.40cal. Best to shoot a G27 before buying one IMO.
I got my Glock 27 almost 10 years ago for my 21st birthday, with very few exceptions it goes with me everytime I leave the house!! Absolutely love that little gun.
I own different brands of firearms. But for shear simplicity, reliability, and price, you cannot beat a Glock. I've purchased multiple over the years, and all have held up extremely well. My current, yet growing collection consists of the following: 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, 26, 27, 29SF, 30SF, 36, and .22 conversion. Living in, and purchased from CA, they are all Gen 3's.
I've had one of these for a few years now, also got the 9mm conversion barrel for it. Great, reliable handgun and perfect for concealed carry. Haven't had any issues with it and I honestly love it!
I have a 27 and I got a Lone Wolf .40 to 9mm and I have had no issues with the conversion. I love my 27 I can't really see much difference in the recoil between 9mm and .40. I highly recommend you get a 27 instead of a 26 so you can shoot .40 and 9mm. I have heard that the extractor was different and it was not as reliable when you step down from .40 to 9mm but to date I have not had any issues with all kinds of different ammo in both calibers. It is the smallest pistol I can shoot well.
any difference in accuracy? Its must easier for the loved ones around us to sustain the noise from a 9mm vs 40 without ear protection. Plus at 15 yards+ it really makes a noticable difference in my opinion
OrGaNiCsOuRkUsH Good point! I shoot with ear plugs and a headset. I mostly shoot steal targets and I have not noticed any difference in accuracy. Just another thought what if you shoot it at night. It has a shorter barrel and the .40 may have more flash. I have no problem with 9mm I just like to have options. My Model 19 S&W loaded with .38 special has been my go to home defended when there is a bump in the night for many years. I view my 27 as a cc.

Big fan of glocks. I really like the glock 27,40 caliber. I need something like this as a secondary pistol. Great video, appreciate you taken the time to do this video.
Don't forget that you can use an aftermarket g33 (357 sig) barrel in it with the corresponding mags also. Been carrying my 27 for 4 years, every day and put about 400 rounds a month thru it between 40s&w and 9mm. I'm hard pressed to find a more modular, more versatile edc gun at any price. Especially for the size and weight. All around performer that I have no reservations trusting my life on!
Purchased mine new in 1997. Upgraded later with the LAW-17 internal laser system, diode mounted on the face of trigger guard, trijicon and other night sights (over time), and the Apex trigger kit = best upgrade ever. It has NEVER let me down after thousands of rounds. If someone can't handle the difference in the 26 & 27, you might as well just get a .380. The added benefits in slightly more muzzle flip is wort it. I can mag dump either of the two in pretty much the same time, and in the same groupings.
I was going to trade my 27 for a 23 but couldnt let it go so I just got a 23. I like the way the 23 and 19 feel in my hand. The 26 and 27 are also great with the extended 1 rnd mag.
Ive had 7 low back operation's and I carry and love the model 27 when my back is hurting bad and I need something light.. When my back allows I have to admit I carry my true love, a Sig Sauer P320C in 357 Sig. I love sig's and collect them. Right now I have 4 sig's, but 3 are to heavy for me to carry everyday. 1911, P226 from Germany, P229 and a P320C
I love hearing unbiased information based on real life experience. I am a 2nd Amendment enthusiast, and Glock is what our local rural sheriffs carry, as well as a majority of law enforcement officers , as I understand it. Not that we have any guns, due to a boating accident, but our NRA instructor suggested the brand due to dependability, kind of like the Honda of the gun world. Thank you! Hope ya’ll still with us!
Surprised you did not mention that the Glock 27 is a jack of all trades hand gun with the vast amount of aftermarket barrel conversion kits that are available. You can feasibly run 9mm , 357 sig, 22lr and of course 40 cal. with the glock 27. Always enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!!
Psyched to see this review. I was looking into the 27, and as usual, went to your page to find your thoughts, but nothing, no reviews!! Glad to see you've finally reviewed this particular gun. I did buy the gen 4 27 a few months ago, but still glad to see your thoughts on it after the fact. Love the gun and love your page Sootch, you're a wealth of information for someone like me who is still learning about guns and concealed carry methods. Knowledge is power!.....
Great video, as usual. I have the G19, 23, and 27. The G27 (gen 2) was my first Glock purchase, and CCW. I did start using the G23 mags (with spacer) in the 27. I love them all, however typically carry the 23, due to number of rounds and stopping power.
Just recently took some round files to a G27. A trigger guard undercut makes it much more ergonomic and comfortable as does Pearce PG-2733 pinky extensions with the top lip shaved off to stop pinching. Also, a threaded G23 barrel gives 100 more fps to Underwood 200gr Hard Cast. All that, plus a 9/16-24 compensator gives faster follow-up shots against lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my! Woods carry ready!
I hate people who down the .40 or call it noob caliber....most people who down the .40 only down it because they cant shoot it or take the recoil...dont down something or call it uneffective because YOU cant handle it. I love all major calibers...and say what u want about .40 but .40 is availble in most places right now and 9mm other than 115 grain is ghost on retail shelfs.
@@darren6564 yeah but guns weren't plastic then. They were heavy so recoil wasn't really an issue. I love my .357 magnum but the recoil on the plastic .40 cal is a turn off.
When I got my CA CCW around 2012, there was a huge shortage of CA approved sub-compacts. I bought my 27 pretty much because it was the only thing I could find in stock and had to have a serial number for my pending permit. I fell in love with it and even after adding my Shields 40, I still prefer the Glock in every respect.
This gun shoots sub-sonic loads with no problem. Helps with the recoil if that's an issue. Big fan of the spring over the spring. It just seems to function better than the old style.
The G27 magazine is a marvel of physics. It looks significantly smaller than the standard G22 mag. It is the exact same height as a P365 9mm mag, with slightly more girth. The Sig is my Summer carry, but with more clothing options, I'll take a .40 any day of the week.
I shot the gen4 g26 a couple of weeks ago and immediately put a couple of single stacks up for sale to fund one. I want a 40, but the g26 i shot was amazing. I'm done experimenting with other guns.
You are wise to favor the Gen. 3's over the Gen. 4's. And yes, with todays 9mm defense loads, it's usually the best choice for CC. The Buffalo Bore loads that I carry in 9mm have the potential to deliver more energy than a lot of standard .45 acp loads.
I hear what he's saying as far as sticking to the Gen 3s. I was the same way until I came across a G29 in a Gen 4 and the price was too good to pass up. No problems with it so far, thinking they've probably got the bugs worked out by now.
I carry the Glock 27 Gen 3 in a High Ride Custom Made Holster by Rusty Sherrick for my 27, the bottom of the holster rides even with the bottom edge of my gun belt and it stays totally out of sight, and its made from Horse Hide which is thinner than Cow Hide, been carrying it for 5 years now and its still like new, damn nice work Rusty. I have also put my Glock 23 Gen 4 barrel in my Glock 27 for that extra FPS and a little more punch from the 180gr Gold Dots and It all functions great together....Sweet Little Package.
The first gun is the one I carry everyday. I love Glock and always have. I feel they've got the concealed carry market in the bag. Theres nothing that compares as far as daily carrying goes, IMO..
Did you know that over 60% of vanilla flavoring comes from the ass of a beaver? Special glands in the lining of the rec room. Then you have real actual vanilla bean. Very rare but expensive and tasty. There are levels of vanilla. So your statement is silly
A excellent video on the Glock 27 most police use it for a backup gun with a Glock 22,or Glock 23 if you could find one buy it they are hard to find 💯 👍
I have a very old Glock 27 has 40 S&W on the slide and barrel don't know if it's a one of a kind or what every other I've seen has just .40 on slide and barrel.
I was tired of lugging around a Beretta 92FS, got a Gen 4 Glock 27. Definitely enjoy shooting the Beretta more but the G27 is waaaaay easier and more comfortable to conceal carry.
I love all glock owners but I can not emphasize the pure joy and smile you will have when you fire a Glock 20 with STEEL CASINGS, HARDEND LEAD the damage is unbelievable from a handgun with the ease and reliability of a Glock
I have been carrying the G27 Gen 3 for about 3 years now with the +2 mag extension and the 15 round back up mag. I smoothed the trigger and find that it's very shoot-able with the original disconnect (3lb felt to light). I picked up a G22 Gen 4 not long ago (500 rounds), so far so good and the trigger feels much better right out the box than my 27 did. As others have said get the after market conversation barrel and mags and you have a 9mm for about $150-200 more.
Gen 3 G27, my favorite Glock. Love to pull that out of my pocket and nail a steel plate at 50 yards. Love to watch the look on people’s faces when I do. Good weapon.
Train Wreck I just picked up the same and love the possibilities with it but I’ll probably just keep it .40 as I have enough 9s and 357s. I’m happy it also accepts big magazines.
The black finish is good ol' parkerizing. The sufrace hardening (formerly tenifer) does not make steel black, it gives the steel dull gray color you can see on glocks with the black finish sandblasted off.
I love mine, thanks for your review scootch00. I basically have a G26 with my Lone Wolf drop in bbl. I will say that if anyone else has been thinking of getting one, keep in mine that it may very well need some fitting. Mine did and after smoothing out and slightly removing microns of material off here and there, my 9mm lone wolf bbl runs perfectly without a single hiccup. But i definitely will need some fitting.
I love my little 'pocket cannon'... Gen 3 G27! It is my EDC. It definitely is a bit snappy and has a bit of a twist to it with the recoil but I have no problems with it at all. Great review as always Sootch, thanks man. Stay safe God Bless ✌️🇺🇲
@@CA2ATrucker I put a stainless steel guide rod with a 20lb spring in my Glock22 gen 3 & now it feels like 9mm +P. I tried a 22lb spring at first but it ended up being too heavy, that's like for 357Sig or 10mm.
@@PerceptionVsReality333 I put the tungsten guide rod spring assembly that is 1 pound heavier in my 27. It seems to medigate the recoil a bit but gotta pay attention to what kind of ammo I 'feed' it... I've had a few failures to feed with heavier and less power projectiles. My carry ammo, Winchester Ranger LE T Series 185G, do just fine so that's ok with me. Stay safe God Bless ✌️🇺🇲
Thanks for the great info. Compared the gen 3 and gen 4, but went with gen 4, because of the comfort. I have small hands, so gen 4 with no back strap fits my hand better. Costs more, but don't skimp on your everyday concealed carry.
Happy belated, and many returns! I don't have a .40 yet, oddly enough. I keep accumulating brass for it, and I have a "this full" line that will prompt the purchase of dies, projectiles, and of course... a gun. Almost certainly a Glock. Thanks for another great vid!
Currently watching this while cleaning my new(to me) glock 27, I normally carry a glock 17 and wanted to add a 19 for a smaller carry but they only had the gen 5 and i really prefer a gen 3 and ended up getting the 27
The *only* problem i have with the Glock 27 Gen 4, is that i carry it in an IWB holster. The sandpaper like texture of the grip scrapes my side somewhat. It is not bad enough for me not to carry it, but it is an annoyance. The Gen 3 is smoother, without sacrificing too much grip. The plus side to the Gen 4 though, is that i installed the beaver tail backstrap, and that really helps with the snapyness of the .40 cal round, and prevents slide bite on my big hands.
Been shooting Glock 25 years. Alot of other names are great, and might fit the hand better, but Glock has saved my life, and i have no doubt if i pull the trigger, it has to bang, Glock has never let me second guess, ever.
Glocks are a Brick that never fails and goes Bang,...... Model 27 Gen 4 owner. Spare mag is a 22 shot mag . If I need more than 32 rounds I am in a war zone and need my AR....
Just like knives, or clubs, or cars, or drugs, or bath tubs, or muslmis, or a lot of things. When It comes to protecting myself & my family, I'll take the Glock over any of those.
My carry concealed choice. Light, compact and powerful. Kicks like a mule though. My Glock 21 .45 doesn't kick as hard but its twice the size and weight. Got mag extensions for my fat hands, and I love this gun.
The trigger on a gen3 is also different from a gen4. It has an extra slot so the slide release fits tighter. If you use an extended slide release on a gen3, you'll notice some lateral movement. With the gen4 trigger they eliminated that.
I have a 26, my dad bought a 27, but neither of us liked the recoil in that small a package so he traded for a 26, Funny thing is, he has a Shield in .40 that is a delight a shoot.
I past both times I did my qualifier in NJ of all places. First time around I scored 88 out of 100, second time I scored 94 out of 100. Did it with the 40 cal, not the 9mm conversion barrel like most. Just lock one elbow out and shoot slow, less snappy this way.
Excellent as usual...just one picky comment; I think the Glock has just the amount of "quality" it needs, no more, no less. Quality is subjective, for a sheer service pistol, including the cost/ benefit basis, you just can't beat it. If you check on Glock's that have been used very hard, like rental guns, or military pistols, they hold up really, really well, tough as nails. The magazines too. Most pistols traded in by agencies are due to "shelf life" protocols and not serviceability issues.
happy birthday Sootch I love your videos. Just bought a model 27 myself as my home defense weapon. one can always turn a model 27 into a 9mm with a lone wolf or other drop in barrel and the appropriate magazines
Glock 26 and 27 are a good fit, Ilike the Glock 19 too in 10mm the full size just blocky grip, I go to my Springfield Elite 10mm it's what I carry now a days with extra cloths in the winter, Fall, Spring , Sig, HK, F&N X45,
Had my Gen 3 GLock 27 now for 9 years. it was made in 1997 and still running strong. Replaced the recoil spring 1 time. Great handgun and I am a big fan of the 40S&W!
I have owned a Glock 19, I loved it. I also owned a Glock 23 for a while, but no matter what it would spit shells into my face even if I gripped it like I was trying to murder it. I could hardly tell a difference in the recoil with those guns, I now carry a 26. What is the 27's recoil like in comparison to the 23?
I got my Glock 27 almost 10 years ago for my 21st birthday, with very few exceptions it goes with me everytime I leave the house!! Absolutely love that little gun.

I love Glocks..but u got me beat..I just feel I can only keep three Glocks..ittl be a waste of guns and expensive putting ammo in all of them
@@deantecunningham1241 I finally thin my collection down to three. It was fun shooting them though. I now have the 19,22 and 21
@@AAM2011 yeah the 26 and 19 and maybe the 27 will be my choice..I ain't got that one yey
When I got my CA CCW around 2012, there was a huge shortage of CA approved sub-compacts. I bought my 27 pretty much because it was the only thing I could find in stock and had to have a serial number for my pending permit. I fell in love with it and even after adding my Shields 40, I still prefer the Glock in every respect.
This gun shoots sub-sonic loads with no problem. Helps with the recoil if that's an issue. Big fan of the spring over the spring. It just seems to function better than the old style.
Happy Birthweek Sootch00, we are truly thankful for patriots like you!
I have no problems with my G26 gen 3.Fantastic running firearm.Shot the Gen 27 and it handled just fine as well.I just prefer the 9mm overall.
The G27 magazine is a marvel of physics. It looks significantly smaller than the standard G22 mag. It is the exact same height as a P365 9mm mag, with slightly more girth. The Sig is my Summer carry, but with more clothing options, I'll take a .40 any day of the week.
I shot the gen4 g26 a couple of weeks ago and immediately put a couple of single stacks up for sale to fund one. I want a 40, but the g26 i shot was amazing. I'm done experimenting with other guns.
Love my Glock 27 for all of the reasons that you hit on. Also love seeing "USA" on the slide as it is made in Georgia.
You can get a 9 mm conversion barrel and have 2 guns for an extra $100 that’s the way to go…💯
Excellent review. I like that I can easily turn the 27 into a 26 with a simple barrel and mag change 🔫👍
Been carrying the G27 for a while now and prefer it over my Shield 9mm and even my Glock19! Will see how it feels once it turns warmer.
You are wise to favor the Gen. 3's over the Gen. 4's.
And yes, with todays 9mm defense loads, it's usually the best choice for CC.
The Buffalo Bore loads that I carry in 9mm have the potential to deliver more energy than a lot of standard .45 acp loads.
I hear what he's saying as far as sticking to the Gen 3s. I was the same way until I came across a G29 in a Gen 4 and the price was too good to pass up. No problems with it so far, thinking they've probably got the bugs worked out by now.
Excellent info. I have a Model 22 and 27. I didn't realize you can use the extended clips in the baby Glock.
I carry the Glock 27 Gen 3 in a High Ride Custom Made Holster by Rusty Sherrick for my 27, the bottom of the holster rides even with the bottom edge of my gun belt and it stays totally out of sight, and its made from Horse Hide which is thinner than Cow Hide, been carrying it for 5 years now and its still like new, damn nice work Rusty. I have also put my Glock 23 Gen 4 barrel in my Glock 27 for that extra FPS and a little more punch from the 180gr Gold Dots and It all functions great together....Sweet Little Package.
The first gun is the one I carry everyday. I love Glock and always have. I feel they've got the concealed carry market in the bag. Theres nothing that compares as far as daily carrying goes, IMO..
Reviewing a glock is like explaining what vanilla tastes like.
Did you know that over 60% of vanilla flavoring comes from the ass of a beaver? Special glands in the lining of the rec room. Then you have real actual vanilla bean. Very rare but expensive and tasty. There are levels of vanilla. So your statement is silly
I bought the magazine extender. Helped tremendously with control, plus added an additional round.
Whoever clicked thumbs down on this video must be a hater. This is one of the most educational videos out there. Thumbs up!
A excellent video on the Glock 27 most police use it for a backup gun with a Glock 22,or Glock 23 if you could find one buy it they are hard to find 💯 👍
I have a very old Glock 27 has 40 S&W on the slide and barrel don't know if it's a one of a kind or what every other I've seen has just .40 on slide and barrel.
I bought my wife a Glock 27 for our first anniversary. Still have it and carry it 13 years later. Great little pocket rocket. Packs a wallop
I was tired of lugging around a Beretta 92FS, got a Gen 4 Glock 27. Definitely enjoy shooting the Beretta more but the G27 is waaaaay easier and more comfortable to conceal carry.
Gotta love that snappiness in the recoil 😎. Screw 9mm
I already have the 23 now I have to get the 27 to add to my collection...
I love all glock owners but I can not emphasize the pure joy and smile you will have when you fire a Glock 20 with STEEL CASINGS, HARDEND LEAD the damage is unbelievable from a handgun with the ease and reliability of a Glock
I have been carrying the G27 Gen 3 for about 3 years now with the +2 mag extension and the 15 round back up mag. I smoothed the trigger and find that it's very shoot-able with the original disconnect (3lb felt to light). I picked up a G22 Gen 4 not long ago (500 rounds), so far so good and the trigger feels much better right out the box than my 27 did. As others have said get the after market conversation barrel and mags and you have a 9mm for about $150-200 more.
I really like your review style. You keep it interesting and simple. Outstanding job. Thank you!
Gen 3 G27, my favorite Glock. Love to pull that out of my pocket and nail a steel plate at 50 yards. Love to watch the look on people’s faces when I do. Good weapon.
Train Wreck I just picked up the same and love the possibilities with it but I’ll probably just keep it .40 as I have enough 9s and 357s. I’m happy it also accepts big magazines.
The black finish is good ol' parkerizing. The sufrace hardening (formerly tenifer) does not make steel black, it gives the steel dull gray color you can see on glocks with the black finish sandblasted off.
I love mine, thanks for your review scootch00. I basically have a G26 with my Lone Wolf drop in bbl. I will say that if anyone else has been thinking of getting one, keep in mine that it may very well need some fitting. Mine did and after smoothing out and slightly removing microns of material off here and there, my 9mm lone wolf bbl runs perfectly without a single hiccup. But i definitely will need some fitting.
The primary safety rule of Glocks (all guns really) is keep your booger hook off the bang switch, until you are ready to shoot.
I love my little 'pocket cannon'... Gen 3 G27! It is my EDC. It definitely is a bit snappy and has a bit of a twist to it with the recoil but I have no problems with it at all. Great review as always Sootch, thanks man.
Stay safe God Bless ✌️🇺🇲
Better than no gun, but g26 is much essier to place shots faster
@@LostintheHate with the upgraded tungsten guide rod spring assembly from the Glock Store does a lot on my 27.
@@CA2ATrucker
I put a stainless steel guide rod with a 20lb spring in my Glock22 gen 3 & now it feels like 9mm +P. I tried a 22lb spring at first but it ended up being too heavy, that's like for 357Sig or 10mm.
@@PerceptionVsReality333 I put the tungsten guide rod spring assembly that is 1 pound heavier in my 27. It seems to medigate the recoil a bit but gotta pay attention to what kind of ammo I 'feed' it... I've had a few failures to feed with heavier and less power projectiles. My carry ammo, Winchester Ranger LE T Series 185G, do just fine so that's ok with me.
Stay safe God Bless ✌️🇺🇲
Mine has failed me once, the original guide spring retainer broke. Luckily I was target shooting.
The glock 27. I have one, and i love my baby glock. Its like a little bull dog
Hey, Ryan hi you doing there, hey man I'm trying to
Hey, Ryan hi you doing their man, I was wondering can u help me find a mini-Glock 27 for sale but I'm trying not to pay that whopping 500$
sootch +1 for reminding us folks about the safety check of a firearm… always
Thanks for the great info. Compared the gen 3 and gen 4, but went with gen 4, because of the comfort. I have small hands, so gen 4 with no back strap fits my hand better. Costs more, but don't skimp on your everyday concealed carry.
Happy belated, and many returns! I don't have a .40 yet, oddly enough. I keep accumulating brass for it, and I have a "this full" line that will prompt the purchase of dies, projectiles, and of course... a gun. Almost certainly a Glock. Thanks for another great vid!
G23 & G27 + 2/15 rounders...
Every time I leave the house, (one on body & one off body carry), depends on what l'm wearing...🖤😎
Currently watching this while cleaning my new(to me) glock 27, I normally carry a glock 17 and wanted to add a 19 for a smaller carry but they only had the gen 5 and i really prefer a gen 3 and ended up getting the 27
The *only* problem i have with the Glock 27 Gen 4, is that i carry it in an IWB holster. The sandpaper like texture of the grip scrapes my side somewhat. It is not bad enough for me not to carry it, but it is an annoyance. The Gen 3 is smoother, without sacrificing too much grip. The plus side to the Gen 4 though, is that i installed the beaver tail backstrap, and that really helps with the snapyness of the .40 cal round, and prevents slide bite on my big hands.
Been shooting Glock 25 years. Alot of other names are great, and might fit the hand better, but Glock has saved my life, and i have no doubt if i pull the trigger, it has to bang, Glock has never let me second guess, ever.
Glocks are a Brick that never fails and goes Bang,...... Model 27 Gen 4 owner. Spare mag is a 22 shot mag . If I need more than 32 rounds I am in a war zone and need my AR....
It's small.
It's simple.
It's light.
It's beautiful.
What else ?
Reliable, accurate, affordable, customizable.
It's deadly
Just like knives, or clubs, or cars, or drugs, or bath tubs, or muslmis, or a lot of things. When It comes to protecting myself & my family, I'll take the Glock over any of those.
My carry concealed choice. Light, compact and powerful. Kicks like a mule though. My Glock 21 .45 doesn't kick as hard but its twice the size and weight. Got mag extensions for my fat hands, and I love this gun.
My second carry Glock is my 19. Cheaper to shoot and just as reliable. Also, my 19 has higher capacity mags.
No problem with my Gen4 Glock 19. Got a new Gen3 Glock 26 for Christmas from my wife. So far so good, 200 rounds through it with no malfunctions.
Being a lefty I always go with the Gen 4.
The trigger on a gen3 is also different from a gen4. It has an extra slot so the slide release fits tighter. If you use an extended slide release on a gen3, you'll notice some lateral movement. With the gen4 trigger they eliminated that.
Great review, thanks for yet another awesome video! I am glad to see the thumb is healing up nicely from the BlackHeart knife review.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sootch !!!!!!
Thanks~
I have one, bought it new Sept. 30, 2011. Excellent for CCW.
I'm a 9mm guy all the way. Here recently been carrying a gen3 g27 and I'm liking the 40 cal. I dont mind the recoil, I'm very accurate with the gun.
Thank you for your review. I just finished the second half of it. Appears very accurate from your field demonstration.
thanks Sootch. our daughter is new in LE has a 22 and soon to have a 27 for back up..
I have a 26, my dad bought a 27, but neither of us liked the recoil in that small a package so he traded for a 26,
Funny thing is, he has a Shield in .40 that is a delight a shoot.
I past both times I did my qualifier in NJ of all places. First time around I scored 88 out of 100, second time I scored 94 out of 100. Did it with the 40 cal, not the 9mm conversion barrel like most. Just lock one elbow out and shoot slow, less snappy this way.
Shooting 9mm+p makes your 9mm snappy, just like .40
Excellent as usual...just one picky comment; I think the Glock has just the amount of "quality" it needs, no more, no less. Quality is subjective, for a sheer service pistol, including the cost/ benefit basis, you just can't beat it. If you check on Glock's that have been used very hard, like rental guns, or military pistols, they hold up really, really well, tough as nails. The magazines too. Most pistols traded in by agencies are due to "shelf life" protocols and not serviceability issues.
Great review! Best work I've seen. Thx you much
happy birthday Sootch I love your videos. Just bought a model 27 myself as my home defense weapon. one can always turn a model 27 into a 9mm with a lone wolf or other drop in barrel and the appropriate magazines
You can also get a conversion barrel and turn the g27 into a 9mm
Just bought a Cross Breed Supertuck. Wow! It makes concealing a wonderful thing.
I have a Glock model27 and love it very accurate and dependable
I use the 13 round magazine with a X Grip. Fits perfectly in your hand
Glock 26 and 27 are a good fit, Ilike the Glock 19 too in 10mm the full size just blocky grip, I go to my Springfield Elite 10mm it's what I carry now a days with extra cloths in the winter, Fall, Spring , Sig, HK, F&N X45,
Had my Gen 3 GLock 27 now for 9 years. it was made in 1997 and still running strong. Replaced the recoil spring 1 time. Great handgun and I am a big fan of the 40S&W!
I have owned a Glock 19, I loved it.
I also owned a Glock 23 for a while, but no matter what it would spit shells into my face even if I gripped it like I was trying to murder it. I could hardly tell a difference in the recoil with those guns, I now carry a 26.
What is the 27's recoil like in comparison to the 23?
My favorite CCW G27 GEN4 and all around best pistol tied with my G20 GEN4 Super .40
Nice subcompact, just purchased. Your video was the closer! Thanks for the information
Happy birthday old man! :-)
I got my Glock 27 almost 10 years ago for my 21st birthday, with very few exceptions it goes with me everytime I leave the house!! Absolutely love that little gun.
glocks are reliable but they charge too much for what you get. they could at least put steel sights on them.
