Review Summary: Glock-27
One Fine Handgun
Reviewed By on Mar 7 2003
Manufacturer: Glock
The good qualities: Absolute reliability. easy to field strip and even completely disassemble, great ergonomics (for medium or small hands) and excellent acccuracy for such a short barrel.
The bad qualities: The only complaint I have ever had about the 27 is getting the 9th round into the magizine. The last round is takes alot of thumb pressure to insert into the magazine and even requires quite a bit of push to insert the magazine into the pistal when it's fully loaded. I have installed the Pearce Plus One butt plate on several of my mags and that has made the inserting 9 rounds much easier but getting 10 rounds is still very difficult.
In a NutShell: I have never found a gun of this size that has all the features of the full-size, including accuracy and reliability and is so easily concealable. If you have been trying to decide wheather to buy...just do it. You with not be disappointed.

Review Detail:
I already own a Glock 17, 19, and 23 so I knew I was probably going to like the 27. Since the 27 was a compact, I intended to use it for concealed carry and figured accuracy would be OK at best because of the short barrel. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could just about shoot the 27 as well as my 23 which is also a 40 cal. With the stock magazine butt plate, you can only get your middle and ring finger around the frame so your pinky rides under the butt plate. This makes the recoil flip a little more pronounced but still very managable especially if you are already used the the recoil of the 40. I did make several changes the the gun as I do all my Glocks. The first was to install the factory 3.5 connector although some beleave this makes the trigger too light for conceale
