Glock 27 Review - "My EDC Firearm"

what's going on guys got a gun review for you today on the Glock 27 that is Glock subcompact 40 caliber pistol great concealed carry weapon and that is what I use it for you can also get the same size gun same frame same slide basically a little smaller but you get a 9 millimeter in the Glock 26 I prefer the 40 caliber because like I just mentioned I use this as my carry gun everyday and the 40 caliber bull is not that much more expensive to shoot than a nine-millimeter but you get quite a bit more stopping power out of it so I'll pay a couple cents around more for the 40 caliber bullets for the stopping power but you can go ahead and follow through with this review if you're considering the Glock 26 and 9 millimeter if 9 millimeter is what you want to carry that's good to go but it's just about the same pistol the only difference really is the is the caliber price is everything guys still the same size and weight it's just about just about the same but go ahead and watch so even if you're considering the Glock 26 and 9 millimeter but this review is specifically on the 27 and 40 Smith & Wesson will start off with some size and weight on the Glock 27 and it is as follows the length is 6.5 4 inches tip the back 6.5 for the height is 4 point 1 7 inches it is 1.1 8 inches thick it's very thin great to carry that's why I carry it barrel length is three point four three inches and about right about there the line of sight which is rear sight to front sight is five point six seven inches unloaded weight is nineteen point seven five and accept nineteen point seven five ounces inches inches is not a unit of weight elses that is and the loaded weight with nine row magazine is twenty six point nine eight ounces looking right about twenty seven ounces for the Glock 27 easy to remember trigger pull is five-and-a-half pounds and the travels a half an inch so so when you're shooting it it really really feels good one thing that I absolutely love about Glocks and this is all Glocks is that the triggers are so incredibly consistent you know exactly when that rounds going to go off so it's really easy to uh to make sure you've got your proper sight picture and sight lime and everything like that going because you know exactly when that round is going to fire with the clock so I absolutely love it the barrel rifling is the right-hand hexagonal twist for most people that doesn't matter but just throwing out the information there and overall shooting this thing is an absolute beauty so I'll get in a little bit more about how I feel about it shooting how other people feel about this gun shooting but first we'll talk about a couple other things you hear the word safe that safe action pistol Glock save action and most people don't really know what that means it and what that basically means is that there is no external safety on here a lot of guns will have a safety here sometimes we'll have an ambidextrous safety on either sides some some guys will have have it on the back and but but Glock doesn't have that that's why people like to carry them they do not have an external safety you can see this a little bit on the trigger they're sticking out that's basically it so that's that's where your safe action comes now when you pull the trigger to fire the round it does have safeties in there there's three safeties in a Glock the it has a they're all internal it's got a trigger safety which is that middle bump right there as you can see that's your trigger safety you can't pull you can't pull the trigger unless your finger is all the way in there get to it but if you put down that little paddle fires just fine there's a fire pin safety and a drops in each illness so yes Glocks have safeties they're safe action pistol they have three safeties in them but all three are disengaged when you pull the trigger they're not engaged again until the slide is racked now they all three safeties are engaged again and you can't pull the trigger unless unless you're you can't shoot around unless you pull on the trigger so that is what a safe action pistol is that's how that's how Glock works and they work really good so the good good to carry you a lot of people in the in the the heat of the moment will forget to put their weapon on safe or our office Evon the fire and that's a problem so that's why a lot of people like Glocks one thing some people don't like but it's it's really growing on the community in general is the idea of a polymer frame this frame is plastic this gun is a plastic gun the part that the frame is anyway but it's lightweight it's strong it can't corrode because it's plastic so it's really really really good excellent excellent choice of materials Glock or really the ones who really took off with the polymer frame state they made it a reality on guns they always said before before Glocks they said that you could not you couldn't make a plastic the plastic fizzle everything was metal they were heavier they reduce the weight on these things and they've really taken taking storm most pesto's now are polymer frame so glock started that the the gun does feature a loaded chamber indicator which this little piece here will stick out so tiny bit it's absolutely ridiculous so take a look at it here it's it is flush you can see there now I'm going to go ahead and load around the nation' you guys can see I'm loading up some Hydra Shok this is what I carry hollow-point so I gotta load this up so you can take a look though I'm not putting a gun in my own face but just so you can see it does stick out a tiny tiny little bit like my nail will catch on it that is what Glock calls they're loaded chamber indicator kind of a joke but it does stick out a little bit and that's what it's there for and I don't know this also so yeah like I said the loaded chamber indicator is kind of joke but it's got it you know if you paint the inside of that red like a lot of ones are done you might actually get a little more out of it or a white stripe break down your gun and pull that out and paint it you could really get a little bit more use out of that loaded chamber indicator but it's not it's not really an issue the metal on the frame is extremely extremely strong on this it's got a hardness level of 64 HFC which is just about as hard as and so this is durability is not a question a lot of people also refer to clocks as the ak-47s of pistols they can run dirty they can shoot just about any kind of ammo they they just shoot they can shoot underwater they it doesn't matter you can't make one these things Jam I mean you can but but in reality in real situations is knock on a jam I've seen people take these things and throw them in the dirt and put dirt down in the chamber and rack the slide a couple times and put it underneath the water and then it shoots so just incredibly durable and reliable - and they're accurate do I think that a little tiny gun like this would it be too accurate but that's not the case these things are super accurate and accuracy with this pistol in general does not come without practice because it is small one of the biggest complaints is that the pinkie hangs off now there's two ways to get around that one is that the eye when I'm shooting my client my hands around I actually make up a big cop out of my hands basically so it really doesn't bother you that I'm under there just I just clamp on the bottom of the gun also you can get here's a standard magazine that it comes with so there's your magazine pinkie falls off you can go ahead and get a magazine extender on there as you see here and that holds onto your pinkie a lot more so most people will throw them on there I carry my extra magazine that I carry with me has the magazine extender on there but I like these the slimness of not having that on there when I'm carrying it so I don't it doesn't bother me you got to train with it but that is sometimes an issue to people but for me it's not not a big deal what this gun was designed for or designed with certain things in mind is one it's it's a backup gun it's a very popular backup gun for police especially those agencies who have switched from 9 millimeter to 40 there is a big push for that because because the the price on 40 is going down in comparison to what it used to be compared to nine-millimeter 9mm used to be considerably cheaper in 40 caliber was considerably more expensive but they're really down the playing field where I buy my ammo it's only about two to three cents more for the 40 so so a lot of law enforcement agencies are switching over and they will use this as a backup gun they use on duty off duty because it's it's reliable they know how to work Glocks and it's the same caliber they Glock says home defense okay home defense yeah any weapon can be used in home defense but uh my personal opinion is that for home defense you want a full-size pistol are easy to shoot more realms in the magazine I will discuss magazines and round size not resizes round capabilities which is pretty cool with the clock but the main reason that that this was designed for is for concealed carry and I do carry everyday I carry in front at about the one o'clock position arm right in front of me so I can just scoop down and grab it and it's not a big deal it's super quick to get the the whole store I get where'd I put it there is the holster I use is a custom holster it's a skeleton holster it basically I'll show you just slips in like that so you can't get to the trigger so it can't be pulled it goes tucks in front of the waistband that way I'm going to do a full review on this but belt goes in there or the pants goes in there and the bunkers on there so when you pull it it just slides right off and you can present the weapon but there's tons of holster options for this because Glocks are so popular there are so many different holster options you can use but where I care at the one o'clock up front is a skeleton holster made by a youtuber Philly EDC John excellent guy and I go into that more in another video we'll stick the Glock for right now if you go to the gun store and you buy one of these either new or used but with all the original pieces some things that you can look forward to getting with it are q magazines to find round magazines like such usually they'll talk into spending 10 or 15 bucks on an extender so it's worth it and go ahead and get that so you come with two magazines it comes with this box box whoo-hoo box a comes with a lock okay whatever and a speedloader I don't think it's really all that fast but there is a magazine this does work does help and I'll go into that in a second but that's what you're going to get out of the box one of the things that I like about Glock is that yeah they're very simple but you do you can get a bunch of accessories for them those accessories can go can range from really stupid and cosmetic for example you know on eBay in this back plate right here you can slip that out which is plastic they didn't get ones with little pictures on the American flags don't tread on me zombie stuff whatever you want you know all kinds of dumb stuff harley-davidson whatever but you can replace that you can do sights sights are an option for example here let's see how here's the one nose okay here's another one they're two glock 27 this one here has a tritium night sights on it this one here does not have night sights on it so sights you can get different different sights on them site options i before the night sights because I carry it but it's a couple more dollars for that about 80 hours more you can get grips this is an aftermarket grip that actually helps a good amount it's it's it's I mean these hand grips on here are not bad they're really not there's a good amount of stippling on there but for me personally I really squeezed down on the gun a lot maybe a lot more than I should I'm really clamping the gun when I shoot it and it doesn't hurt but it gets irritating this this check ring in the back but if you go ahead and you you get one of these these aftermarket grips on there it's just about the same texture but they're softer and the grip here it's like grip tape they kind of get kind of gets rid of some of that so it's only a couple bucks but it's really really really nice nice option to get these aftermarket grips on here of course you can get the Crimson Trace grips with the lasers and all that stuff but but looking cheap if you want to get rid of the toughness on the star you can go ahead and get the grip tape type grip portion on there whenever that gets called talon grips sorry that's what they're called talon grips DAL oh and that's what these this little sticker is cold on here and it's it's worth it I actually I enjoy the way that the talon grips feel on there now another thing that's great about Glocks and this goes for all their calibers is that when you pick up say I got this Glock 27 subcompact 40 I could put any 40-caliber Glock magazine in here and it shoots just fine so like I said comes with a 9 round show that in there again 9 round ok 9 run with the base plate like that cool right now you can go ahead and you can go even bigger to a Glock 22 which has see y'all know here's another 9 rounder find round 9 round Narwhal baseplates 9 round ablaze plate a Glock 22 magazine has 15 rounds so it fits the major spawn and you can shoot the pistol the Glock 22 it's a 15 rounder and it on a 50 runner we can go with the Glock 23 which is a compact and that's got 13 rounds so you can also put that in there so comparing the 13 to 15 rounded lock 22 exactly 3 mag you got to write down that so but if you have just a way to keep the calibers and everything flowing rolling on something so it's a really great thing with Glocks is that you can stay in the same caliber but but get bigger magazines of them or you can get really obnoxious and get some the market magazines like here's a a Glock 22 15-round magazine is the last number and right there we can go ahead and do one where the last number ends in something like that yeah there there's a nice big op 29 round magazine pretty pretty crazy but you never know I mean the font is sure you don't going to reload as much but there is a 29 round 40 caliber Glock magazine or Express fine as you can see it's a kind of a loose reduces the reliability and obviously that's a magazine problem with this because the spring is so long but you have the option all kinds of magazine options with these and that is another great reason to look forward to buying a Glock now like I said that's per caliber this is all the 40 caliber magazines for Glock if you got a nine-millimeter Glock 26 you can put the Glock 17 full-size or the Glock 19 compact magazines in a Glock 26 but it's just an option and it's really it really is a selling point to a lot of people oh and I did say that that the speed loader does come in handy with one magazine and that is with the 29 rounder because once you get magazine or the magazine is almost full down to about you know 20 22 rounds in there it gets really really tough so you just slide that down and you can really get your round start in there with this speed loader it's not really fast but it does assist when you're you're loading a ridiculous amount of rounds in a magazine that's what I was referring to when I said the stealer is good for some things now another great thing about Glocks is how simple they are I'll go ahead and go into field stripping and cleaning it you got these pull down tab here and on the other side all you got to do is you're going to pull back on the slide just to tell you a little bit down on these on the two tabs the same time and it comes loose got your lower receiver your recoil spring guide rod inside your barrel and your slide that's it that's all there is to it so you can really get down and clean it it doesn't even really need to be that clean I don't ever advise not cleaning any weapon but Glocks don't really need to be clean that much reassembly is just the opposite so taking it down to cleaning it is like a complete breeze on Glocks I'll go to the same breaking down but there you see it for this this Glock 27 overall it is it is my go-to gun when I am on the street or talking about town whatever maybe I use the Glock 27 I have different magazine options with them I absolutely love the reliability the accuracy the fun to shoot they work so I just I just I really love everything by the Glock lead or not I have this Glock this is the first gun I ever got I have this Glock serial number on all tattooed on my body full-size that is how much I absolutely love Glock so I'm not saying other guns aren't good but Glock is my it's my gun it's what I carry it's what I believe in in Glock I trust so if you guys got any questions on on the Glock 27 specifically or even other Glocks I know a fair amount about them so go ahead and ask me questions and I'll answer them to the best of my ability if I don't know somebody else in the forms will know if not I will do everything I can to find out the answer for you but I could probably answer the majority of your questions you have on Glock I hope you guys learned something about Glocks and I hope there's some good discussions below and check out my channel for other gun reviews and I've got a lot more coming I am stateside now so a lot more gutter reviews coming in the very near future so thanks for stopping by and checking out
