I'm not a big fan of small pistols, as I am a large man with large hands, and naturally small pistols don't dont do it for me. I've tried various models ranging from a Beretta Bobcat, to a subcompact 1911... Nothing feels right in my big hands, which is why I stick to full size pistols.
However, if I want to conseal, there comes a problem. The thing I like about full size pistols is the high capacity magazines, and the fact that they fit my hand... This is where the problem arises.
Enter Glock 27.
Double stack magazine, which allows 10+1 rounds of .40S&W, however, the big hand issue still looms. So I looked into the grip extenders for the G27, I got two pinky extenders, and one full grip extender to see what it would be like.
The end result was fantastic. What a great little pistol. It packs a mean punch and holds its ground even though its mini. I love the fact that I can carry 10 rounds in each magazine (and it's .40!), and hide it like its not even on me.
It shoots great. Smooth and accurate, just as any pistol should be. The night sights are an added bonus, as this is my first pistol with them (expensive as hell!). My groupings at 15 yards are about 3". Not bad for such a small pistol.
I love my G27....and it really says something about the gun that I can shoot it better than I shoot my Beretta, even if I don't shoot the Glock for twice as long as since I shot the Beretta.
I had a model 27 and loved it.. i couldnt shoot it for crap without the pinky extender on the mag. But with it, it was like a full size gun
My friend recently got a model 26 (9mm, same pretty much), and he is very happy with it
I traded my 27 in on a model 20. I like that gun too, but DAMN, ammo is expensive
I just got a G26 (9mm) for my birthday, and I got 2 G19 mags for it so I can carry it in uniform and have two 15rnd mags.
now I have to find the grip extender sleeves that go on the 19 mags. I think they're the A&G magazine grip extenders. Anyone have a reputable site to order from?
