Well hello everyone....been on here for a little while and have been not very active ....well as things happen in life....i recently decided to thin the herd down and wanted a very good dependable carry gun and decided on a Glock 27 gen 4.....i was able to find a like new less then 50 rounds thru it and with 4 mags and loader ... three or four pearce entensions and night sights i am told ...and for less than 420.00 shipped ...did i do ok?
I have been carrying revolvers most if my life till recently i had been.carrying a kahr Mk40 elite 03 which i loved....but was a little thin in my giant hands....this 27 feels very good to me and i think it will be a pleasure to shoot as well...and i know the pearce will make it feel better and with my galco ankle glove and summer comfort holsters it will be a pleasure to carry as well.......one thing for some odd reason it is missing the original box and paperwork.....can i contact glock and get these from them?
I will post pics once i receive it next week....thanks in advance...excited how this will work out...God Bless,John

Well thank u...i honestly never even handled a 27 till a fee years ago a good friend bought a new gen 4 and he told me how much he loved it and when Gander was closing near me and i was there...they had a 26 and it felt really good in my hand....and this one....i totally fell into it....total impulse buy....knew if i did not buy it....it would not be there tomorrow at that price...new ones here go for 599.99 to 649.99 depending on shop....thank u for the kind words...God Bless,John

hey which one of these frame plugs is the one to get?....i can not seem to find any threads about it....i see some with screws...some with just push fit...i would think it would need a tab to keep it from falling out....God Bless,John
i see there is many bad reviews with these too.....i am hoping everyone here can advise me to get the best one out there....

Those plugs just snap in and stay put. The ones with screws are made of metal to add weight. I have the standard polymer ones in my G20SF and one in my G23. My gunsmith added them to both guns after he did trigger jobs. He seemed to think they were necessary to keep dirt out of the mechanism.

The only bad thing I've ever heard about them is if your gun becomes submerged in water the water will not drain out as fast with the plug. The reason for that empty space was originally for when they had the front mag cut out so you could grip a magazine that wasn't drop-free or even a drop-free mag if it somehow got stuck and grip the mag front and rear.

It's good to have the 9mm barrel for practicing with cheaper ammo. 357 Sig is a fun option but produces a little too much muzzle blast for my liking.

I'm also a big fan of the 40 S&W. it's a lot closer ballistically to the 10 and the 45 than it is to the 9 and yet it can be had in the same size gun as a 9mm.

I have a Glock 23 and I can tell no difference in recoil between the 9 and the 40 in that size gun.

I like the Hornady 175 grain critical duty ammo in mine but the 180 grain HST and 165 grain Gold dot ammo is also very good.

You got a really good price on that gun.
