lol that picture is awesome. I am sure she wont mind.
Okay now a range report. The first target was the first mag though the gun. I shot low left on that target. The next 30 or so rounds it was even worse. The groups was always in the same place but was low left. I had to cover my target with the sight instead of the the normal 6 o'clock aim. I was pretty sure it was me because the recoil was pretty healthy for me even though it is only 9mm.
Now the second target was toward the end of shooting and I remembered someone or somewhere I watched a video where the person was using thier middle finger for the trigger and thier pointing finger pointing down range at the target. That allowed me to get my little finger on the grip and really control the G26 more and my shooting got alot better and more accurate. All shots was from only 7 yards and I did not try anything farther on this trip because I was trying to get used to the gun. The gun functioned flawless.
Now for a question. Is it bad to shoot with your middle finger as the trigger finger? I was hoping not to get finger extensions, but will if this is a bad practice. I think it is very important to keep control of this little baby and it will perform very good shooting if you are capable. Jim
Pearce Grip Extensions
Here is an almost necessary item for your G26 "Pearce Grip Extensions"
PEARCE GRIP : SEMI AUTO GRIP EXTENSION - World's Largest Supplier of Firearm Accessories, Gun Parts and Gunsmithing Tools
Every compact magazine that I have has either a Glock factory +2 extension or one of these Pearce +1 extensions.
You will see some people call these Pearce extensions a +2, they are not. Only +1 (or adding an extra round in the magazine) in .40SW is all that I've found.
But in 9mm for the Pearce, I have not tried this. You may be able to squeeze in 2 extra rounds. I will have to try one myself. Also, do not forget about the 33 round 9mm "Happy Sticks"

I dought this will ever happen!!!! 
I went to the range today and all I can say is wow! You know when you get something new you want to sleep with it beside you. Well mine is waiting for me and I hope the Wife does not mind. LOL!!!! Jim
I don't get the point of the extensions... that is why I sold my 27 and got a 23.
If you are going to extend it, they why not just get the bigger gun?
Plus, the space between the extension and magwell can bite the crap out of your fingers.

I beg to differ sir, the Pearce & Glock factory magazine extensions work great. I do keep one of the 9 round magazines w/o an extension for using in the gun to keep from printing when using an ankle holster.
I've shot many, many K down the range and the only time a Glock magazine bit my fingers was when shooting a G27 using a 15 round G22 magazine with no extension on the magazine.

I've also never gotten bitten from a finger extension, now I have from the grip extension when using a Glock 19 mag in the G26. With the finger extension it gives you just enough room for your pinky to help control the gun but is still a much shorter grip than the G19. It makes it a little easier to CC that way.
I showed the blisters on my pinky to a few people at dinner after the last ACT Self-defense class, probably put 150 rounds through the G27 that day.
Was from the Pierce finger extensions.
"Much shorter grip"... not really
only real advantage come if you DON'T use it.
That little gap you can see in this picture is what bit me, came from the side, not the front.
Your hands are most likely a different size than mine, mine just happen to rest right on that gap.

The Question from me is: Have you ever seen someone shoot with thier middle finger for the trigger finger and is this a bad practice? I know I either read this or seen it in a magazine or on a video or something. Is the extension a have to or should I shoot the same way I was having success? Jim
I read/saw somewhere that this practice is frowned upon because often you can move your index finger independent from the other fingers, but if you use your middle finger, your index may push against the gun, bringing it out of line.
You should post this in the shooting tactics forum.
Mag Fit?
Congrats on a great buy acquisition. Curious about the fit of the mag against the bottom of the butt. Does it fit snug or does it leave a gap that pinches the pinky?
Mine has such a gap. When I use the Pierce pinky extender it pinches big time. Can't figure if it is a problem with the mag (too long) or with the weapon itself.
Here is a pic. Hopefully tomorrow pics of a couple of targets with some good shots. Jim

Meant shorter in the sense that is like a "bobtail", since it is the back of the grip that prints when conceal carrying it. If you notice in your pic the back of the mags. Looks to be about a 1/2 inch shorter, hence the much shorter/better conceal ability comment.
hmmm, the front of the grip pointing backwards is what I notice when printing... if carried on my right side. The back of the grip is pointing more upwards.
Like this:
Well I figured I'd chime in here cause I bought your G27
I like the ability to go smaller if I'd like. If I want to take the extension off and keep it more compact, I can. If I want the bigger grip, I can do that. I like options. Plus I just idolize the G27 and have always wanted one, since my dad got one 10ish years ago.
