I really like mine. The ONLY problem is if I have a mag without the finger extension, it tends to rise more when I shoot it. With the extension I have no problems with it and I have big hands. It's a nice sub-compact IMO...spend the extra coin for Tritium sights too, you can hit any target that you can actually see since they glow so well! The nice thing is you can use any Glock .40 mag in it too, doesn't have to be a 9 +one shot.

I'd love to hear some suggestions and experiences with the Glock 27 or any other subcompact. I think I'm going .40 this time out, so that's what I'm focusing on. I haven't got any interest in another 9mm or .45 at the moment.
Was it the Gen 4 or Gen 3 that you shot of the Glock?

I don't know if the G27 Gen 3 comes in RFT (similar to Gen 4, but better IMO), find one is they make it. I bet you like it.

Gen 3. I'd like to get a hands on with the Gen 4 to see if the replaceable back straps change the feel. What's RFT? I'm not familiar with that term.

My mistake, RTF - rough textured frame (not RFT). The grips have a rougher texture to them. The Gen 4 is very similar but not quite so abrasive. Some like it, some don't... I do. I feel like I have a better grip.

RTF grips...


Regular grips...


Gen 4 grips...

That just goes to show ya....


I'm not a fan of the Glock 27, but the XD subcompact would be on my short list... I really like that gun...

Interesting. I didn't notice the texture of the grips on the one I fired. I'll have to take a look when I go back. Really, the texture was fine, though I like the look of the Gen 4 and the rough textured Gen 3. The shape throws me a bit. It feels odd in my hands. I think it's something I can get over after a hundred or so rounds into it.

My XD (Service model, 4" barrel) is a real fun gun. I love it. I've been carrying it recently in a Supertuck holster that I picked up and it's really sweet. The subcompact didn't feel balanced to me and I didn't shoot as well with the XD40sc as I did with either the Glock or the M&P. It's odd. I'm not a Glock guy in any way, but that Glock 27 stands out the most so far.

How much do you want to spend, and is it only for plinking? Gunbroker has a good number of Chiappa 1911 .22LR for about 250. There's a few Kel-Tec PLR22's in that price range too. You could look for a Ruger Mark II or Mark III used. I've rented the Mark III and it's a shitload of fun to shoot, far more fun than the Walther P22, and leaps and bounds above the complete piece of shit that is the Sig Mosquito.
