Description
Product Overview
The Glock 27 is a subcompact powerhouse chambered in .40 S&W, representing the pinnacle of concealable defensive handgun design. Engineered for professionals and responsible civilians who demand absolute reliability in a minimal footprint, this pistol is a premier choice for concealed carry and tactical backup roles. With an overall length of just 6.29 inches and an unloaded weight of 19.75 ounces, the GLOCK 27 delivers the formidable stopping power of the .40 caliber cartridge in a package that disappears on your person. Its primary uses are discreet personal defense and as a secondary weapon for law enforcement and security personnel, where its combination of power, size, and Glock’s legendary durability is unmatched.
Key Features
- Subcompact .40 S&W Frame: Offers the optimal balance of concealability and potent caliber performance, with a height of 4.17 inches and a slim profile designed for all-day comfort.
- Proven Safe Action System: Features Glock’s unique triple safety system, providing a consistent, secure trigger pull from the first to the last round without manual safeties to disengage.
- Rugged Polymer Construction: The high-strength polymer frame contributes to the light 19.75-ounce weight while offering exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion.
- Precision Barrel & Sights: Features a 3.46-inch (88mm) cold-hammer-forged barrel for inherent accuracy and longevity, paired with standard fixed sights for a clear sight picture.
- Versatile Magazine Compatibility: Accepts magazines from larger Glock .40 models (like the GLOCK 22 and 23) with appropriate sleeves, allowing for flexible capacity options ranging from the standard 9-round flush fit to higher capacities for training or home defense.
- Rough Textured Grip: Ensures a secure hold in all conditions, with an ergonomic design that mitigates felt recoil for a shooter-friendly experience despite its compact size.
Performance & Applications
The GLOCK 27 excels in specific roles where discretion and dependability are non-negotiable. For concealed carry, its dimensions make it ideal for deep concealment in an inside-the-waistband holster or as a pocket pistol in suitable attire, providing a potent defensive response without printing. As a law enforcement backup gun (BUG), it has been widely adopted by agencies globally; its reliability under stress and ability to function with an officer’s primary duty ammunition (often .40 caliber) makes it a trusted off-duty and secondary weapon. Finally, for home defense in compact spaces, when paired with a higher-capacity magazine, it becomes a manageable, low-profile option that is easy to secure and deploy, offering controllable performance with effective defensive ammunition.
