Calling All Glock Fans

Ltxi - that's exactly why I want the 27. For the rare occasion that I might IWB my glock, I'd like to be able to. For the other 99% of the time I would have the extended magazines in it, since like you said, the .5" in barrel length is really insignificant.

HDoc - Thanks for the reminder! That is one of the biggest reason I'm going with Glock instead of S&W or Springfield.

Ahhh...misunderstood. Then given your case I'd go for the 27 with supplemental extended mags.

I'll chime in and say this: I do like the Lone Wolf conversion barrels. I've bought 2 and been really pleased with them.

I was at a gun show this AM and handled a S&W Shield 9mm ($449)
and a Walther PPS 9mm ($525).
I had my trusty G27, with a 40-9mm barrel and G26 mag, in my pocket.
And though to myself what do I need that new gun for?
The slides are just about as thick on all three guns?
So why give up the extra capacity of my G27 anyway?
I really believe the thicker grip better spreads the recoil.

It just didn't make sense to me.
So I walked away and bought some .45 ACP ammo for the HK45C instead.

My G27 is a fully capable fighting pistol.
In a light, compact package that's hard to beat.
They have been popular for a long time.
And with good reason.

You're right Barth, but 1) I wear some tight fitting t shirts. And 2) I LOVE my PM9. It tucks away IWB at 4 o'clock perfectly no matter what I wear. It's amazing.

I'm not replacing my baby <3 lol

It's sad to see the rash of owner issues and apparent quality control problems with Glock Gen 4 9mm guns.

Third party parts are already being produced to mitigate a problem
the company seems unwilling to admit or address.

I'm hanging on to my reliable gen 3 G27 loaded with after market parts.
The strange thing to me is the OEM 40 extractor seems to work fine
with 9mm rounds when combined with G26 mags and after market 40-9mm
conversion barrels???

I'm sure it's all about money.
If Glock can continue to build and sell "hit and miss" inexpensive guns?
Then I guess they will...

The new Glock recommended safe shooting stance.

That you have no problems with the 40 extractor and 9mm ammo is a good thing because I doubt using a 9mm extractor in a G27 slide would make much of a difference. I'm just amazed that 9mm conversion barrels work as reliably as they do (I have an LW40-9), especially when you consider that the slide's breech face is cut for the larger diameter .40 and the .40 ejector is more offset than the 9mm ejector.

I don't get it either?
Initially I just got the Storm Lake 40-9mm for cheap range work.
6000+ rounds latter, shooting a mix of 40, 357 and 9mm,
the 9mm is the most reliable of the bunch!
Granted the 40, and 357, have only had two FTF in ~2000+ rounds isn't exactly unreliable.

But I actually trust and run the 40-9mm the most these days.
Just between you and me - LOL!

How is your .45acp colt thinner than a pm9?

Well, no matter how I look at it, it certainly looks thinner, but your question drove me to dig out my electronic calipers, change the dead battery, and either the damn thing is lying or I'm plum wrong. Measuring across the slide just in front of the chamber cutout, the PM9 measures 22.87mm (.900391"), the Colt measures 23.21 (.9137768). So the PM9 slide is thinner than the Colt Commander slide by .0133858 inches. Sorry for the wrong info.

With the proper holster you can hide an awful lot. The slide on the Colt is easy to hide, it's sometimes challenging to hide the grip as effectively but with the proper holster and just a tiny bit of cant he's easily accomplished.

I think for most that's close enough to call a draw - LOL!
