Glock 27

Glock 27

The Glock 27 is a subcompact pistol chambered in .40 S&W, designed for shooters who want serious power in a small, concealable package. Derived from the full-size Glock 22 and the compact Glock 23, the Glock 27 shrinks the platform down for everyday carry while keeping the toughness and simplicity that made Glock a global name.

Why Choose the Glock 27?

The main appeal of the Glock 27 is its balance of size and power. The .40 S&W cartridge delivers strong energy on target, and the short slide and compact grip make the pistol easy to conceal under everyday clothing. It is a popular choice as a primary carry gun for those who prefer a smaller frame, and as a backup weapon for law enforcement officers carrying a larger duty pistol.

Because the Glock 27 is small and lightweight, it is comfortable to carry for long hours. The slim polymer frame reduces bulk, while the familiar Glock controls make it quick to learn.
