Glock 27

[Kutnupe14]

All the girls at my PD carry G27s, off-duty/backup, as well as most other officers. The recoil is snappy, but manageable. I use 22 mags as spares.

G27 has been my EDC for a few years now and I love it. Great gun and a nice shooter. Everyone is different though so best bet is try to shoot one first to see how you like it. I enjoy shooting mine,but i have also had people hand it back to me after one or two shots at the range and say it was too snappy.

I bought mine a little over a year ago with the preconceived notion that it would be "snappy" (after reading all the horror stories of so many wrists being broken and fingers being lost from the diabolically charged recoil of the round in such a small gun ...and then the gun KaBooms on you on your first range session). So, yeah, I was prepared ...

Seriously, it's entirely manageable, it stays in your hand, and accurate double-taps are entirely possible (for all you "well I use a different caliber so I can get back on target fast!"). I think one of the biggest things that convinced me was seeing a kid (under the supervision of their father) run a course of fire using a G27 ...and doing quite well at it.

If you like the size of the 27, and you like the .40 caliber round ...how can you go wrong? What's more, if you decide that you don't really like it, the resale is fairly quick and easy.

If you like the .40, there's no problem with it. The only complaint is the recoil. Otherwise, I'd recommend the 26 or the 30. I've never liked the inbetween round that is the .40.

I have all three. Does that make me a Glock person-who-sells-my-body-for-pay?

That just means you have "options" when it comes to carrying. Just try not to mix mags when you get your spare. They sometimes look the same

Unfortunately I already did that.

This was exactly my fear when purchasing my Glocks, and exactly the reason that I own only two models of the same caliber.

 

[Excalibur]

Well at least it was an accident. A buddy of mine's cousin put a .380 in his 9mm gun and the brass ended up being stuck and couldn't eject. He had to get a tool and poke through the barrel to get it out.

For how it "prints" and carry, Id rather have the 23. I have a 26and a 23, and I honestly carry my 23 more, unless its super light attire.
