3rd Generation Glock 27:
I could sum it up with “It’s a Glock” but that’s too easy.
Looks/feel:
It looks great as all Glocks do. It is natually intimidating and businesslike. The Tennifer slide compliments the polymer frame perfectly.
The feel with the standard 9 rd mag does leave a little to be desired. With the pinky extension your fingers are comfortable but in my hands the heel still comes up short. Fortunately, you can use the longer 23 mags with easily obtained spacers to round them out. I prefer to use the 23 mags giving me the greater comfort of grip plus the 13 rd capacity. Holding a subcompact side-by-side with its compact or full size counterpart produces an interesting surprise. The butt of the compact with the magazine spacer is actually more curved and more ergonomic than the longer guns design. (see attachments)
In its compact form the gun is quite concealable and with extended magazines for extra firepower it is more than adequate for home defense.
At the range:
What can I say? Out of the box the Glock 27 shoots every round perfectly. I now have several hundred rounds of 40S&W and even more 9MM's through this gun and it has never failed in ANY way. Felt recoil is comfortable and accuracy is excellent.
The real magic of the Glock 27 lies in its versatility. The Glock 27 comes in 40 S&W but with a simple barrel change it can also be a .357 Sig. With a change of barrel and magazine it can shoot 9MM as well. From one platform you get 3 distinct guns. The Lonewolf barrels are available from Cheaper than Dirt for $99.97, plus S&H. With the variety of options available for this gun you will have a hard time settling on one. I know I did.
