Glock 27

History

The ultra-compact Glock 27 is similar to the Glock 26 and is designed for easy stealth while maintaining the accuracy and firepower of its larger Glock cousin. The G27 differs from the G26 in that it is popular with US security and law enforcement personnel for the .40 S&W cartridge.

Introduced in 1996 with the Glock 26, the Glock 27 offers the same small size, fits comfortably in the normal palm, and allows users to hide the pistol in places like an ankle holster - making it the perfect secondary weapon.

Externally, the Glock 27 mimics the fine lines of the Glock 26, with a shortened frame and pistol grip. The grip features an ergonomic grip and an integrated trigger guard with forward-facing finger rest. The breech is designed in typical Glock style to provide front and rear visibility. The shooting action is a recoil/double (safety action) with a trigger pull of about 5.5 lbs. The gun has a length of 160 mm (6.29 in) and a barrel of 106 mm (4.17 in) with a right-hand twist.

The weight is 19.75 ounces and the loaded weight is 26.98 ounces. Only 30mm (1.18") wide.

Standard available magazine allows 9 cartridges. However, this can be increased by optional 11, 13, 15 or 17 round magazines as required.
