Your Glock 27 is a nice concealed carry. I think it’s also a single-stack feed like my Glock 36, so the grip is nice for a small hand (unlike most of the double-stack Glocks). About the same weight as mine, too, which is a big factor.
I love the way a Glock works. No safety to fumble off in a hurry is a wonderful advantage. No hammer sticking out to catch on anything when pulling it out.
I was a bit worried at first about recoil from such a small .45 caliber gun, but was relieved to find it not a problem. After running through just a couple of magazines, I was fully comfortable with it.
Mine’s pretty thick, I think it’s actually a double stack. It doesn’t bother me though, I have long hands.
I had heard horror stories about the recoil also, but didn’t find it to be a problem. Mr. Legs didn’t like it much, he wants something slimmer. He’s looking at the Bersa Thunder.
