GLOCK 27 or Glock 26

[maxmayhem]

What does everyone think about the Baby Glock vs the Backup Glock? Would you rather have 10 rounds of 9mm or 9 rounds of 40 cal?

 

[hemicharger]

After owning both I would go with 26. Much easier to control.

 

[Anelson]

I like the 27 becuase I trust the stopping power of the .40 just my opinion

 

[ATF Consumer]

Go with the 27 and then buy a Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrel, so you can switch back and forth.

 

[maxmayhem]

Should have put the 357 on there so vote for be different if you like the 357

Has anybody ever seen a Glock 28 in .380. There is a import issue with getting these here but I would love to have one. I dont really see an advantage in size as it looks to be the same size as the 9mm. I think they have a lot of these in South America or in countries where civilians can't pack anything bigger than .380.

G26, 9mm has been around for over a hundred years, must be doing something right.

I don't think there is an advantage here. In countries with a restriction on people owning weapons with military calibers such as 9mm.

380 Glock

I dont think so either. I would love to have one as a collectors item. I have looked around and you cannot buy one anywhere in the US that I know of.

I voted for the G27! But you really cant go wrong with either one!! Good luck in your decision!

I have fired many a 27 and a couple 26's. I found the 27 a bit uncomfortable to shoot. I'm a Glock guy, but also a .40 guy. I say get a G23, really not that much bigger. I own a 23 and a few G22's and a G17, look at what you have, if you run 9, run 9, if you run a different caliber then go that way. I have came to the conclusion that I need to consolidate to one common pisstowel caliber. I chose fo' day.

 

[maxmayhem]

I also consider that too as I currently own a G22 and a G19. The ammunition cost of the 22 is substantially higher than the the 9mm. If I am not mistaken all the magazines in glocks can be interchanged for the same caliber. I made the mistake the other day of slipping the g22 magazine in the 19. So this could happen if you are stumbling in the night and you are not organized (as i can be sometimes) Good Point!

G22

I just bought the G22 recently and have spent little time shooting it. I did notice that you must grip it a little tighter. When I was shooting it at atterbury the other day the recoil on my cold hands caused some discomfort as my middle finger impacted the outside bottom of the trigger guard. I just enjoy shooting the 9mm because it is the perfect amount of power for me at the right cost. If I was a police officer I would carry the 40 though as my odds of being in a firefight would be greater. I would rather have a 40 cal in gunfight than a 9mm.

What do you currently carry? I would personally get the 26 or 27 depending on what caliber you already have, to try and consolidate the types of ammo you'll need to buy.

 

[JJGatesE30]

In my opinion, you should absolutely, most definitely, without question...

get a Glock whatever, they are all cool

 

[fastwally]

I like my 27 and the power of the 40. If your a Glock owner your familiar with the system and your not going to shoot it all day. If your in a must use situation you won't even know it had a recoil. Just my

I also like the Beretta PX4 Storm SC in 40 cal.

 

[maxmayhem]

Agreed, but what do you think about having one less round?

Personally Id rather have 10 rounds of .40, which is why I bought the Glock factory 10 round mags with the fingertip extension for my 27

 

[WebSnyper]

One less doesn't bother me. I've got a 27.

That said, do you currently have a Glock in either 9 or .40? If you do, buy the same caliber you already have for mag interchange and so you don't need to pick up a different caliber.

If you don't, consider buying the 27 and getting the conversion barrel if you want to shoot it a lot.

I've also got a 30 and a 21, and I'll admit the 27 can be a bit abusive to shoot compared to the others, along with costing more to feed than the 26 would be. My 30 is my favorite to shoot. 27 is my favorite to carry.

Solution for one less round......wait for it..........wait for it............

Use the extra mag that comes with it!


Seriously though, if you are concerned about one less round, buy the 26.
