Good Afternoon DT86,
Merry Christmas !

Only one real question to you, how do you find shooting that Glock with the smaller handle ? My hands arent particullarly large, but I can see that my pinky will have no place to go on the grip !

I thought the same thing when I read that. My wife has the 27 and she shoots it fine. I can't shoot it as well because the grip is too short. It is a great gun for her though.:thumbsup:

Yes 3x, I wound up owning the perps gun, he's lucky he's still alive.

The other 2, I don't talk about much.

You brain reacts how you are trained, to much adrenaline is the real killer in a situation.

Recently in Houston an elderly lady, 80 something I think, surprised two burglars in her home and shot at them causing them to flee. She then collapsed and died of a heart attack. Had never been known to have any health problems at all.

Good Afternoon JB,
Just curious on the approx price..... ?
Thanks !

I guess it's not made anymore, cause I could not find a price for new.

I did see some used for around $300-500.

Some interesting videos.

Merry Christmas Guys....

I actually bought this gun for my girlfriend but she won't shoot it. She likes my full frame G22 better. She says the G27 feels like it is going to fly out of her hands. I guess since it weighs less it has more recoil? I want to say I paid right at $550 new out the door.

I do have fairly large "paws". I have shot it enough that I'm used to it being shorter. I actually curl my pinky under the mag. They make pinky extensions but I've never tried one. I have Hogue Handall grip sleeves on both guns to better suit my taste.
