- This is a tabletop review of the GLOCK 27 SUBCOMPACT .40 S&W. In this video we will discuss the history and development of the firearm, and provide side by side comparison with other popular models to establish scale and help visualize what it would be like carry this based on familiar platforms. We will outline all of the features, and how these features may or may not be important to you based on your personal needs. Range performance will also be discussed along with different tested methods of carry and how comfortable it is to carry on a regular basis. Last, we will provide an overall opinion of how this firearm stacks up for concealed carry purposes. Thanks for watching!
I had my 27 since I retired 15 years ago. Outstanding weapon.
I have a GEN 3 27. Still one of my favorite firearms. Very capable concealed carry gun, powerful little bulldog. 🙂
I have owned my 27 for 15 years now
My go to ( and Im a revolver guy)
40 S&W is absolutely a great round
In my opinion the .40 S&W is an excellent caliber and it's my first choice/go to since 1994. I carry the .40 most often as my EDC. I have nothing against 9mm and own a few, but I refuse to ride the popularity train to fit in.
I am still a fan of .40, which works out well for me because I can pick them up for less than before since many people have dumped .40 for 9mm. Win-win.
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel exactly!
@@RoadKing-ky2bs What confuses me the most is how the 9 fan boys will literally disregard the specs to support their narratives of the 40 being "useless". They regurgitate the same bs, "fbi switched from 40 back to 9 so that should tell you something" like what?? Lol their is still lawmen who carry the 40.
@@illini3093 you nailed it and it's my same argument about the 9mm fanboys. I have nothing against the 9mm and own a few, but .40 is my go to round and in my opinion better than the 9mm. I just get so tired of the bandwagoners

I love my G27. It carries well and provides more punch than my 9mm Sig P365. I bought a conversion barrel for both my G27 and G23 some time back so that I could shoot 9mm as a cheaper ammo that's even more pleasant at the range. At some point I'll also purchase a 357 Sig barrels for each because I enjoy shooting that caliber too. There are also 22LR conversions that can be had and eventually I'll acquire one of those as well for inexpensive training and plinking.
I live in WI, so winter is very cold. Cold means more layers of clothing and this means assuring bullet performance through these layers becomes very important. The G27 is a great winter carry gun in cold climates. When it warms up the Sig P365 gets carried more often and when it gets really hot a Ruger LCPII carries very well. I also have even smaller handguns when needed.
In summery the G27 is a versatile pistol that carries like a somewhat larger pocket pistol and for me shoots like a midsize gun. It's accurate, hard hitting and can be converted from 40 to 357 Sig, 9mm and 22LR.
When I got my CCW in California around 2012, there was a huge shortage of sub-compacts. The Glock 27 was the only one I could find in stock, so I held my nose and bought it. After shooting it and qualifying with it, I started to fall in love with it. Over the years and owning other carry weapons, I keep going back to my first love. People who don't like Glocks are usually those who haven't owned one. Thanks for a great video.
I've had mine for like 14 years no problem at all. I love it
The beauty of Glock, is that you can use the full size magazine, in the compact, or sub combat gun.
That’s My Favorite feature of Glock, that and you could drop a Full-size Barrel in a Compact or Compact in a Sub
Hace años me retiré de una Fuerza de Seguridad.
Por supueso siempre seguí armado.
Portar la feroz y pequeña "mamba negra" (mi Glock 27 G3) siempre me hizo sentir bien armado en toda circunstancia.
Suelo llevarla con un cargador +2 que me otorga sin esforzar nada llevar 11 tiros, y como respaldo siempre un cargador de 22.
Como secretaria ejecutiva de mi formidable Glock 23 me otorga un plus confiable junto ppr supuesto a mi angel de la guarda
Tengo 3 juegos ideales desde mi vieja opinión. Cargar 19/26, 23/27 y en invierno muy arropado la 21 con la excelente 30S. Todas ellas con miras Truglo TFO que dan esa "luz" tan necesaria para el enfoque rápidoven cualquier momento del día.
Si hay y consigo, prefiero todo en Gen 3, aunque en momentos solo hubo Gen 4 en argentina.
Abrazo, saludos y cuiden sus espaldas amigos.
Hasta pronto y muy de acuerdo con tu exacto informe...✌️
Glock 26, 27, 42 and 43 I love them all. Well built CC pistols that do what they're supposed to do every time!
I have a Gen 2 I bought back in 1995 that I still carry today. Also have a 9mm conversion barrel for it. One pistol, multi calibers. Best handgun I own.
Excellent presentation- totally reinforces everything I love about the 27. I carry mine every day in a Tulster IWB, shoot it every range session, and love the fact that it shoots just as accurate as it's full size counterpart, the Glock model 22. I have no problem with the 40 cal in this gun whatsoever. The recoil is a moot point when considering you have a very effective round. The 9mm is alright, but you have to have +P ammunition to equate the 40's effectiveness, and then the recoil becomes a non issue. Most practice with regular 115 or 124gr 9mm, and carry +P. The 40cal has the same recoil regardless of ball/ training ammo and the more expensive carry rounds, so the training aspects are way more consistent.
I have to disagree in regards to the recoil comparison between the 9mm and the .40 S&W. I carried a .38 and then 357 issue weapon in the U.S. Border Patrol 26 years and then a Beretta 96D brigadier .40 S&W for 6 years. Our issue round was a 155 grain JHP which quite out performed the 180 grain versions by a good margin. My experience is that if one compares the same weight weapon with one being 9mm and the other a .40 S&W the felt recoil difference will be quite noticeable, especially if defensive ammunition is used in both handguns. FWIW
I used to have a Gen 3 27 about 15 years ago and sold it like an idiot. Ended up getting a Gen 4 7 years ago, with a couple thousand rounds through it now. The 27 is my favorite ccw, just wish I still had that Gen 3
I've got a G27 Gen 3 Dark Earth! I purchased the Pearce ext grip's for both mag's, that way I have a place for my pinky finger, and it allows for an extra round in the mag. I use it for concealed carry with a Galco leather holster with a belt clip. I love this handgun, and I've had it for several years, and will never get rid of it, it also has night sights which are a must for any Glock!
just discovered your channel. amazing content and context in your videos and your tag lines on the thumbnail is are perfect to get people to watch! Well done sir.
That yellow background fire
Classic Glock 26/27. The most versatile double stacked Glock. Can take the same parts as the 17/19/34's even the barrels if Gen 5. Met a nice lady at the range once who was a beast with her 27. If you can find a police trade in even better.
Great video! I love my G27 gen 3, it's been pretty much my only EDC for the past 10 years.
I would suggest if you do get a Glock 27 get a pinky grip for the magazine it'll give you about another half an inch you could get all your fingers around it it also dresses up the gun they make two different types the one that holds two extra rounds doesn't have any grooves on it it's just plain the other one does match the same detail that's on your finger grips they're both good check them out it's a fantastic gun 🇦🇹💯👍
I have the same model and love it. I did round out the trigger guard to slide in and out of the holster easily.
The g27 was my first also. I was issued a g22 and the g27 was a perfect back up to it. Great video!
Thanks for your positive feedback and for watching!
How did you carry it as a back up?
@@lowerspeedhigherdrag on an ankle holster
I don't get the hate on this gun. Been my carry since I started 20 years ago. Can shoot it all day long. Eats anything put in it. My .38 airweight with Gold dot kicks harder.
My agency just switched from HK I had a p2000, and a SK. So happy we went to Glock it has been a long 12yrs.
Have P2000sk in 40 and thinking of getting the Glock 27 …
I had one years ago but I had to get rid of it because of the "Glock pinch." The Glock pinch occurs when the shockwave produced by firing the gun causes the magazine to seize up, pinching your hand between the bottom of the grip frame and the magazine's base plate. I'm sure that this would be even worse with the G27 since it's even more powerful. But really, I think this problem is largely dependent on your hand size and whether or not you have meaty or thinner hands. Me? I have thinner hands and wear a large glove size. It's too bad that they can't make the G27 in the same configuration as the G43X. But because the 40 S&W is more powerful than the 9mm, they simply can't make it in a 43X size gun. So, if you want something more concealable than the G23 in 40 caliber, your only option is the G27. But you won't know if the G27 is going to pinch your hand until you actually fire one. 🤷❓️
There were a ton of them sold and carried for all the reasons you state. I agree with everything you said. I currently have five Glocks and the 27 is my most used/carried handgun out of my whole gun collection. It is my favorite out of all my Glocks and it is my only .40 caliber gun at the moment. I have carried it in an Aker leather own, a Crossbreed super tuck, a Galco jackass shoulder holster and a nalco ankle holster. It is still one of my go to guns if I need to carry a gun on my person.
Check out the ghost inc plus 3 extension for it (small)
I’ve been CCW carrying G27 for years.
I have a couple of .40s myself and have no regrets! I like a lot of you, still think the .40 is a viable option for EDC.
The G27 is an excellent carry option, especially since you can load the larger capacity magazines in it. The only downside is it’s more expensive than 9mm at least in my area.
I love my Glock 26 Gen 3 and my Glock 23 Gen 5 MOS. I will be getting a Glock 27 and a Glock 30 soon.
Great review because I also have a 43x and love them both. Just spend a little money for the magazine extension. Totally changed my shooting groups. You have more control with the magazine extension.
Excellent presentation thank you Sir.
I feel like having a bunch of different caliber guns is actually smart in a bug out situation, you never know what type of ammo you will come across better to be able to shoot different calibers
The G27 with a 9mm conversation barrel. You can have both calibers with one gun.
Great post thanks for sharing!
I waiting for Glock to come out with a Glock 43 / 43X slim sized gun in .40/.357Sig. Sadly, I think I’ll be waiting a long long time.
If they made a 43x or 48 version in .40 with a 9 or 10 round mag I would be all over it.
@@jimmymcclure4549 Heres what would sell big time….. If I were Gaston Glock, I’d make make both 43x and 48 sized guns, only calling the new pistols the 50 and 51. They would be marked and chambered in .357 Sig, but both would come from the factory with a .40 cal barrel. They’d come with 3 magazines and Trijicon sights.
Colt10mm Security, I'd love to have a 43X MOS in .357 Sig with a spare .40 barrel, thatd be an awesome little pistol!
Very good video and showing. Thanks for the review Sir.
Thanks for your positive feedback, and for watching!
I love my G27. Of all the bullet weights in .40 cal I have shot through it, the 155 grain slugs are the most accurate. My other .40's seem to prefer this bullet weight too. Seems to be optimum for the caliber.
I love 155s and 165s
155 and 150 grains are best for .40 the 10mm is best with 180 grain-200
Yessir! My Gen 3 Glock 27 is my go to EDC. I have a Glock 23 mag as a spare. I also love the TFO tritium fiberoptic sights. Had them on it till I got the Leupold Delta Point Micro. Been carrying it for so long I don't know it's there, very comfortable. I also believe the Glock 27 seems to a be better fit for .40 S W caliber as well. Great little "pocket cannon" won't trade it up for anything.
Stay safe God Bless ✌️🇺🇲
Very good option for concealed carry. I carry this gun as well. I carry in a kydex IWB holster.
the gen 5 has a lot more to it it's actually built to be a 40 the lug and locking block are much meatier the ndlc is nicer it's less brutal to shoot with the slide being 3mm wider
Facts.
@@VenomousKills Didn’t expect to see you here, but I’m not surprised lol. Love your vids!
Great review. Note that one major Gen 5 change was a thicker, heavier slide. Glock did this on all of the Gen 5 40 cal’s.
This thing really kicks in the .40 cal. and I believe the operator needs to get acclimated to its recoil to be able to control it in a life and death situation. A magazine with the pinky extention helps quite a bit in getting a better grip on this gun. And, you can always purchase just a 9mm barrel and magazine if the .40 cal. seems a bit much.
I bought the pinky extension - I loved the shoot before but really love that gun with pinky extension on all magazines now!
I got a Glock 26 because I can't fit a 33rd mag in a P365.
I have a generation 3 model 27 and for years enjoyed switching between the .40 barrel and a .357 sig conversion barrel which was my favorite all time snappy round. I'm currently waiting for my CCW approval and recently purchased a 9mm conversion barrel for a tammer round EDC choice, my other and original Glock is a model 19 generation 2. I may purchase another caliber Glock in the future but with the versibility of the (3) 27 barrels and having the 19 it's almost like I already own 4 different Glocks.
I think the 26 actually came out a year earlier. Late 1994 or early 1995 if memory serves me right. The 27 was in 1996. I bought one right around the Olympics here in Atlanta, and I already had the 26 for a while. I could be wrong, but I think I'm right. I have NO DOUBT the comments will let me know if I am wrong. :] I sold my 27 because with good powerful defensive .40 ammo it was not as accurate for me as the 26 with good powerful ammo. I also carry a Glock 19 as my EDC so I liked the cross compatibility. It's weird how easy it is to collect Glocks and just keep filing in the gaps as needed.
Lol!! I now have 7, 3 .40s and 3 10mms and the .22!
I have the gen3 27, love it, I consider it to be the Chief Special of the Glocks but better than the .38 snubbie in that it has twice the round count and hits alot harder than the .38! I also carry the gen4 29, but there are times when it is too big and I go back to the 27! Really great little guns, both!
I love mine. I carry it in a galco summer comfort holster, I also have an urban carry lock leather holster I carry my 26 & 27 in.
I use a mic holster. It's a Kydex trigger guard, for pocket carry.
It's hilarious to watch some CZcamsrs that used to talk about the 40 Smith & Wesson being "high-pressure" and a "gun breaker" singing the praises of 30 Super Carry.
40 has the same maximum chamber pressure as 9mm, 30 Super Carry is 20,000 PSI higher.
I still think some people wanted to kill 40 for some reason.
It kind of worked, because I still hear people spouting that bullshit
For a bit it was kabooming the glocks that had unsupported chambers. Now pretty much everyone makes sure they’re .40’s are fully supported chambers and no longer an issue.
@@DonSean But was it really?
9mm and 40sw both have a maximum chamber pressure of 35,000 PSI
The only people who were running into kaboom problems were people who were reloading unresponsibly..
An excellent video.
Dont have the 27, but I respect it. I have the M&P40c. Very similar to this 27. The 40 round itself is my overall favorite caliber. But with both models, that's just the start. If you want, make it a 9mm, or a 357s. That combined with the fact that this size will accept all size magazines makes it the perfect all-rounder IMO. Dig it.
my first edc! very accurate. and then the p365 came. I still carry my gen3 g27 every now and then.
Love my Gen3 G27 but want a G26 to go with it or a conversion barrel, mags ECT. Also love the G22 that is such a sweet shooter. The 30 is a bit thick but what a sweet blaster.
You need the shield arms 15 round mags for the 43x
How do I get the ninth round into the mag? I have the 3 that came with my gen 5, and to others. I put the grip extensions on all of them. I can only get 8 rounds into them. Is there a trick, or a break in period, for the mags?
Just brought a Gen 5 27, it’s now my EDC. I missed the 27 and the 40 Caliber.
Gen 3 27. It just works. Nuff said. Less snappy than my 43X, which is in the dugout. Enjoy shooting 40 cal, In the G 27, my EDC, can't say anymore. All stock, no additions, it just works and is reliable.
Nice video
Just watched this video and went out and grabbed a used 27 at my local store with all the accessories in the case for 300 bucks.
Sounds like you got a really good deal! If I could find another one for that price I would buy it for sure. Thanks for watching!
I like the .40 because it's easier to load than the 9mm.
I took have an original 27 from 1995 as an undercover police detective... I've also put the same night sights on it... This gun has stood the test of time and even today in my opinion is the 2nd best CCW of all time along with the SIG P365. Today as a retired officer I carry my SIG P365 XL Spectre Comp, but i always keep my 27 oiled and ready to go and continuously have bought upgraded parts for it. I'll never part with it, even though 40 has fallen out of style which is ridiculous because of the ballistic capability that it possesses.
I’ll take the Glock 27 (any generation) over the Sig “POS”365 any day. The Sig’s have a constantly spring (cocked) firing pin/striker. No thanks. The Glocks do NOT. Glocks are a safer design.
Is there really a “bad”caliber or “bad” gun? I think not they’re all good I never met a gun I didn’t like’
My XD subcompact 40 shoots softer than my GEN 5 Glock 27 but I have been carrying the G27
I love my G27 G3
I love the 40cal here's the thing my first glock was a glock 27 it's too snappy
Where can I find that holster?! Great vid, just purchased a 27 the other day looking for a great ccw holster
If you carry appendix try henry holsters they make amazing holsters
My Gen4 G27 is my EDCi use a G23 mag and I feel extremely capable
I love my Gen 4 G27. With the conversion barrel to 9mm I have 2 guns. Still hate the hump.
Like all caliber pistols, have various ones in different calibers , being in the military you can't go wrong with a 45 acp and in law enforcement was the 357 magnum revolvers in the 80s , my favorite revolver cartridges are 357 magnum and the 327 magnum , and also carry it has a back up, for my ✨ EDC gen 3/ 33 357 sig with night sights and Lazer Max internal guide rod Lazer and plus 2 magazine base plates for two extra magazines 11+1 and two 23 extra magazines with a Plus 2 for 15 +1 and sometimes a gen 3/40 s&w, trust larger caliber rounds and pistols, but a 9mm and lower for back up or extra back up, , started shooting 38 special at 5 and 357 magnum at 6 years old, and 45 acp at 9 they are my favorite and most experienced with, but have added the 40 since they mid 80s and the double magnum 😆 327 / 32 revolver in 2014 , and the 10 mm 2018 like that 10mm can also use 40 too 💥💥
I have a Glock 27 an Glock 43x and Glock 36 and I’ve carried them all the 27 was first pistol I bought when I came
From a 357 magnum since then I gone back to owning a 357 mag a 10mm etc
I’m scooping up a g23 and g27. I have a G22 and love it but I need something more compact to conceal and add to my Glock family😂
I took my model 27 and made it a 9. Simple barrel swap that I can swap back but had no 9s. The 27 is a beast but for $200 it's a stupid simple swap
All you need for the 27 is a g23 or 22 mag with the x grip and your good to go with the handle of a g23 or g22 with frame of 27 best set up imo ever
I just put the Glock 27 gen 5 coyote battle worn flag on layaway. Can’t wait to get it! I have two Glocks, 19 gen 5, 30 gen 4. Once you change the sights I like the lightwave h3 Glocks are amazing firearms. This will be my last Glock after this I’m saving for my Kimber 1911. Great vid.
Love my G27 Gen5 keep it wit the 13 round G23 magazine wit and Xgrip sleeve and it’s perfect !! Also night sights 😎
The Glock 27 is great pistol and excellent caliber.
Um thinking about getting me a 27 or 26 I love 40s&w or 45 ion have nun 2 do wit 9mm I love em 2
I prefer the G33. And I have the G32 as well
My Blue Label Gen4 Glock 27 is my EDC.
What happened to the gen4 ?
I carry a 27 every day.
I chose to use a Glock 19 for my EDC.
good luck shooting a guy 5 times before he feels sum. Shoot a guy with a .40 he’ll shake n drops in 2👌🏽
My opinion its the more versatile nconvinience gun on market becouse you can have 3 diferent calibers w same gun 357 sig , 9mm and 40 just replace the barrel
I have these same sites on my Glock 19
I own a glock 30 Gen 3 4 some years
Is it a Gen 2
The double stacks felt like they twisted in my hand. The Glock 43 was perfect for me. Maybe my support grip is wrong?
Try removing the backstrap
Love my shield 40. Traded a 27 for it.
I have a Gen 1 Shield .40 as well. Good choice.
Go to TR enabling and get a 357sig conversion barrel for your shield 40 and you will REALLY have a blaster!! Shield 357sig...lighter carry weight...more energy..more penetration...less recoil!!! 👍
The 40 still has a place. .the 27.
Me too I know everyone hates 40 I stayed away from Glocks because everyone talked about them cops carried them and they felt blocky in hand then I shot my dads 27 it shot better than all my 9mm’s that week I went and bought a Glock 19 and now have 6 different Glocks only one 40 but I still think it’s great especially in a Glock!🤯🔫👍🏼
Gen 3 or gen 5???
When your Glock 27 video has 27,000 views 🙂
Beat gun ever was my first pistol
I was very fortunate enough to have bought a Glock 17 Gen 5 9mm and also my Glock 22 Gen 5 40 both brand new both at the same time I to this day had them like 3 months and the Glock 17 hasn’t even left the case lol I’m not a bandwagon type person and I also don’t discredit the 9 however I feel much better with the 40 not only that but i shoot it just as good as the 17 in 9mm lol the whole snappy thing is bullshit man up grab the dam gun firmly and shoot as well as train lol the 40 cal round has been tried true and proven design not in “ballistic gel” but bluntly in the streets with an amazing track record i love my Glock 17 but as for me and my family I’ll carry my Glock 22 in 40 💨💨💨💥💥💥😘 lol
Very tough to beat a Glock for dependability.
Damn man, at lest try your 17
@@MyCatCarriesAGlock oh no worries man I have and I love it in fact I love it! Not my first rodeo with a Glock 17 or 19 lol I have both and their great and all I’m just not a bandwagon type person I prefer 40 cal ecspecailly because I can shoot it just as good as my 9mms I love 9 but I prefer to carry 40 🇺🇸🍺👍
Does a glock 19 mag fit this glock 27
Yes
But you need to do the barrel conversion to shoot 9mm
Gen 4 27 shoots flatter than my gen 3 26 somehow
Yup, every 26 I tried was stupid flippy the 27 is a lot better
Got a 27 zev only $275
How big are this guys hands?
👍
I call mine lil kicker haha
just not a fan of the two finger grip. I went with a 43X with pinky extenders.
Wow, you have the HK P2000Sk in 40 ( I do as well ) and you say Glock 27 is a easier shooter than more accurate than your HK P2000Sk in 40. Guess I’ll look into 27
For me, anyway. I like my HKs, but the G27 is the best shooting subcompact .40 I have.
