Anyone have any opinions with a G27? Is it better to lean towards a 155 grain bullet with the short barrel?

I used to put 155 Gold Dots in my 27 when I had it. Then I switched to 180 grain HSTs. I got rid of the 27 and now I have an HK P2000sk and an M&P40c. I put 180 grain HSTs in both.

180s are pretty mild in 27s. I carry HSTs and Gold Dots in my 27.

And to actually answer about 40 180 grain SB Gold Dots I have never tried them but they sound like a good dependable load. I use the 45 230 grain Gold Dot SBs in two of my guns..

.45 230gr GDSBs - good loads

For what it's worth, I have put two boxes of the 180 through my Gen 4 27 with no problems.

G27s are good little guns.

I have shot several makes of ammo in my G27, without a single issue, but my carry ammo is Gold Dot 180 grain. I have shot many boxes of the Gold Dot and trust it 100%. Need to replace a couple of boxes I shot in Dec, but have not seen any in stores lately. :-(

Good luck finding ANY ammo out there.

I haven't found a load my G27 won't eat reliably and throw accurately. My carry round in the G27 is a Ranger SXT 180gr. I've had GDHP in 155, 165, and 180gr's, in the past, as carry rounds.

G27s are not at all finicky.

Okiedave Thank you for the advise on the 180gr gold dot I havent seen to much ballistics on the G27 what would you recommend for a close practice round maybe a win white box 180gr fmj?

I can shoot at my work site and there is a Sports Authority down the street from me. So I always run over there to get ammo. I have put countless rounds of the 180 white box through both my Glocks. No problems yet...

Yes - WWB is good stuff.

I carry 180 GDHP in my 22 and Short Barrel 135 +p GDHP in my 38. I just picked up a 27, trying to decide if the Short Barrel is really needed for the 27. Any advice?

Well the G27 has a very short barrel . . . . .
