Did Glock discontinue the G27? I worked a GSSF match, and magazines for the G27 were no longer listed as available on the staff's gift list. I questioned the Glock people, and was told if it's not listed, it's unavailable. I had to chose a G23 magazine instead. I later saw a current list of Glock model offerings, and I did not see the G27 on it. What happened?

Yeah, my hope is that the demand for the G27 makes Glock reconsider their decision of discontinuing it as a Commercial model, and at least makes an occasional production run of them they release to their commercial vendors. Perhaps they might for the agencies who refuse to stop using .40, and want to continue using Glocks, like the G23 (and the G27 for plainclothes and off-duty?). Notice the list on the Glock website is for Commercial models. Kind of leaves it open for LE/Gov orders.
Now that I've ticked the Shield 40 2.0 off my list (in case S&W slows or stops production of their remaining .40's), I'm thinking about seeing if my FFL can find a Gen3 or Gen4 G27 NIB somewhere, that some vendor wants to move out of their stock. I'd like to supplement my E-series G27 with a newer one (but not a Gen5), since I've already had to 'rebuild' (replace some of the components in) my well-used G27 a while back. I'm invested in .40 even more so than in 9mm, and I'd like to continue in that manner. Don't get me wrong, as I think 9 is adequate. It's just that I also like the heavier bullet weight options in the .40.

The LEO agencies can still buy Glocks in 40. They just are not making them for commercial sales anymore as the numbers of sales has tanked on the 27 and many others.
A local Sheriff Dept near me just went and upgraded their Glock 27, 22 gen 4 models. They were going to go with a 40 from another manufacturer but Glock told them they would make 40 for them. The staff ended up voting on 9mm Glocks instead ( the 45 mos and the 43x mos to be exact) so my understanding is agnecy purchases still can get the 40.

Looks like i need to buy a 3rd gen3 g27 and a few extra magazines.
Wonder if glock will still provide replacement parts.

I didn't find the 27 much more concealable than the 23. With the advent of slim Glocks, I can understand the decision to stop making small bricks.
Different strokes.

They're not available for commercial customers, but they're available for law enforcement customers.
You have to look for police trade-ins for the Glock 27 otherwise look for a gun store that has "Blue Labels" specials. A "Blue Label Specials" is available to law enforcement, first responders and active duty military and veterans. If you're an airline pilot, you can use that too. Gun stores will put the price tag on Glock pistols with a "Blue Label".

It appears that Glock is only going to manufacture what they want you to have. They like all the others have gambled on the 9mm. I have ten Glock pistols. None of them are 9mm. Reading the tea leaves, I purchased replacement barrels, recoil springs, firing pins and springs, as well as other parts for my 40 S&W's, 357 Sigs, and 45ACP's. If I ever feel the need for a 9mm, there are dozens of Glock clones on the market.
Honda and Toyota have a practice of ceasing production of slower selling vehicles and then using that production capacity for models that do sell in large numbers. That lets them avoid increased costs from expanding production capacity.
Maybe Glock is doing the same with the laundry list of what they are discontinuing: Stopping making models that are not selling in large enough numbers and instead using that existing production capacity for what sells in large volume.
