This gun is ideal for concealed carry. It is manufactured to give the user the same firepower and precision as some other much bigger pistols from this family. It uses the 40 Smith & Wesson cartridges. It is very reliable and its stopping power is enormous even though it’s a small-sized gun. The standard magazine contains 9 rounds, but the users can choose between a variety of other magazines with more rounds, up to 22. The barrel is only 3.42 inches long but the pistol is still solidly accurate for a subcompact model. The weight is mediocre, so it’s not the lightest, also not the heaviest handgun out there. The Glock 27 Gen 3 doesn’t come with an adjustable back strap, so it might not fit well in large hands. The slide release and magazine release are in the right place, easily reachable for right-handers. Left-handed people might look for Gen 4 instead of Gen 3 because the Gen 3 pistols are suitable for right-hand shooters only. The Glock 27 is easy to shoot and also easy to clean, which makes it great for non-experienced owners. This is a double-action-only gun so the trigger pull is very smooth and with a pretty short reset. This pistol is a great choice for anyone who is looking for a reliable, durable, accurate, and powerful gun for everyday carry.
