Had a Glock 27 years ago but I remember it was not pleasant to shoot. Took the one I horse traded for and shot both DPX and Win white box and found both pleasant to shoot. I was going to chrono a variety of .40 loads in my KT carbine, my Glock 22, and Glock 27, but it is raining heavily with a prediction of 2-4" today and rain all week. |

Couple friends of mine that have G27 like them but tend to have problems with malfunctions if shooting them under time pressure.
Pretty sure their grip on it doesn't stay firm enough, part of prior them is grip is probably to small plus the recoil of the 40. |

| when I shot it I wasn't focusing on the grip and it functioned just fine. |

Hoping the weather would cooperate so I could chrono a variety of .40 loads out of my two Glocks and the KT. Delay might be good though as Peter Pi is sending me some CB .40 in 135 gr and 150 gr jhp and some PoowRball.
we had 3" of rain yesterday and my wife's mother is flying to AZ in a week and I was hoping we'd get some snow before she left! |

| Evan, I found the G27 to be the softest shooting Glock in that caliber--I think it was the dual spring RSA. This was before the Gen4 guns came out . . . |

| I had a Model 27 issued to me at my last PD. When I retired I was hoping I could get it but it did not happen. The only .40 I really ever liked was that 27. |

| I've carried a Gen 1 G-27 since 1996. It gave me the flux at first, but once I got the +2 mag extensions, I can reliably hit a man sized target out to 50 yds with it. I use G-23 mags for spares. Corbon 135 gr or 150 gr.JHP were my original carry loads but I later switched to 140 gr. Corbon DPX or 155 gr. Gold Dots. I've had to replace a few parts over the years, but it has been 26 yrs that I've carried it daily. I probably have 15,000+ rds through it at this point, but it still shoots like a charm. |

| I bought a Glock 27 when it was first introduced. Have had other.40s, but this is now my only lead dispenser in this caliber; I prefer Federal 180gr HST, but other loads seem to work just fine after thousands of rounds downrange. |
