Key Features

• Gen4 Modular Back Strap System: Customize the grip circumference to fit your hand size using included back straps (Medium, Large, Beaver Tail). This enhances control and shooter comfort, a critical feature for managing the .40 S&W recoil in a subcompact platform.
• Dual Recoil Spring Assembly: The redesigned captive recoil spring significantly reduces felt recoil and increases the service life of the pistol. This engineering upgrade improves controllability for faster follow-up shots.
• Rough Textured Frame: The frame features a scientifically developed, aggressive texture on the grip and interchangeable back straps. This “RTF” pattern provides a secure, non-slip hold in all conditions, essential for a defensive firearm.
• Nitride Finish: The barrel and slide are treated with a durable nitride finish. This process hardens the metal surfaces, providing exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term wear durability with minimal maintenance.
• Subcompact Design: With its polymer frame, compact dimensions, and 9+1 round standard magazine capacity, the G27 offers a optimal balance of concealability and firepower. Its design is proven for deep concealment without sacrificing performance.
• Safe Action System: The proven, internally safetied trigger system provides a consistent pull from the first shot to the last. This simple, safe design is a hallmark of Glock’s reputation for out-of-the-box reliability.

Performance & Applications

The Glock G27 Gen4 excels in specific roles where its combination of power, size, and reliability is paramount. Its design addresses real-world needs for a capable and manageable firearm in constrained scenarios.

Concealed Carry & Personal Defense: The primary application for the G27 Gen4 is as a concealed carry or home defense firearm.
