Nylon Holsters for Glock 27

QUICK GLOCK 27 REVIEW

The Glock 27 is a short recoil–operated, striker fired, locked-breech, semi-automatic pistol that uses a modified version of the Browning cam-lock system. The G27 is  manufactured by the renowned Glock Ges.m.b.H. company from Austria. The pistol was introduced in 2018 and since then it managed to rise to one of the top choices in the gun world, thanks to a combination of its key characteristics. Those being great reliability, allround shooting characteristics and very reasonable price to value ratio.

What makes the Glock 27 stand out in the line of other Glocks is its compact size in combination with a larger caliber. The Glock 27 is just 6.5” long, 1.26” wide, 4.17” tall and weighing 21.34oz when unloaded and 26.46oz when loaded. Making it one of the most compact Glocks and even other pistols in general. But even though it is so compact, it is still able to carry 9+1 rounds of .40 S&W caliber rounds. Which is even of itself rather unusual to combine compactness and caliber of this size. You can also get the optional, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16 and even a 22 round magazine. However, at that point it stops being anything close to reasonable and you simply do not need 22 .40 S&W caliber rounds on hand. Due to the larger caliber, you should be fine with the standard 9 round magazine to maintain its concealability.

Construction wise, the G27 features a polymer frame and a steel slide, offering a lightweight yet very solid construction and durability, even under harsh conditions. The slide even features serration to help with chambering and giving you a firm grip on the slide. The polymer material contributes to the pistol's resistance to corrosion and provides enhanced durability, ensuring long-lasting performance while making the Glock 27 lighter. Glock 27 comes equipped with Glock's Safe Action System, resulting in a consistent and reliable trigger pull. The trigger system ensures a crisp and predictable break, aiding in accuracy and overall shot placement of its .40 S&W caliber rounds. The pistol's sights are designed for rapid target acquisition. With Glock's standard white dot front sight and white outline rear sight, shooters can quickly align their sights and engage their targets effectively. G27 can also mount accessories such as lights, lasers as well as red dots when you install a mounting rail or plate. However, if you do this, do not forget that you need an appropriate red dot bearing holster. If you plan on getting yourself a light, laser or red dot, go and check out TOP 6 Glock 27 Red Dots and Best Glock 27 lights and Lasers.
