Got me a new Glock 27 Gen5 and what do I see??? Glock actually is stamping .40 S$W again on the barrel… but not the slide… 🙈🤣💁🏾‍♂️

Trying to eliminate the collector value of the early “40 S&W” Glocks.🙂

We still doing the white lettering thing

Who are you?!?

For a moment I thought your name looked familiar, but when I didn't see a steering wheel in the picture, I assumed I was mistaken.

 

[Trench Sweeper]

Hmmph. I wonder what the reasoning really was behind it. Still a nice looking pistol you have there.

 

[yep380]

Nice looking gun. Congrats.

 

[rfd339]

Congrats on a very good carry. Looks great.

 

[Taterhead]

Nice looking gun. Congrats!

 

[rangerhgm]

Congrats on the new 27

Off topic ?…….

Do you find the Gen5 27 not fitting in holster for the 26? I hate the thought of buying new JMCK holsters for it, but probably will.

Homage???
Well, it IS the registered name of the cartridge.
Nobody seems to complain about ".45 ACP" stamped on their pistols. You DO know that this stands for Automatic COLT pistol.

Didn’t Glock actually offer a gun chambered in .40 S&W before S&W?

My guess is DaBurna does know that the C stands for Colt but I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of 45 ACP owners do not. I also guess Glock and numerous other gun manufacturers no longer look at Colt as anywhere near the competitive threat that they do Smith and Wesson.

You can "guess" all you want, but the facts remain. Whether people know what the registered or trademarked name of a cartridge actually is, firearm manufacturers know, and they list the chamber designation correctly.
And do you really believe Glock is threatened by S&W, any more than Ruger is threatened by Remington? Ruger has stamped ".44 Remington Magnum" on their firearms for decades.

don’t think anybody is complaining about anything. Just noting that Glock has always just put “.40” without the S&W. And now has the S&W added on the barrel.

 

[Bradley T]

Ito oughtta be ".40 GLOCK" anyway, just as the .44 Magnum should be the .44 Sturm Ruger Magnum!

I fired my G 22 yesterday. I am now shooting it for awhile. I'd like a G27 also. I'd carry it instead of my little G 43.

Yep, by about a week or so.

 

[Brian Dover]

Yep, by about a week or so.

And then to add insult to injury, the first .40 semiautos from S&W were pretty inaccurate, because they used barrels with too slow of a rifling twist. Or maybe too fast, can't recall for sure. But I do know from trying out a couple of the early model 4006's, they shot to minute of trash can lid at 25 yards. The first model 22 Glocks did much better.

 

[Three blackbelts]

I thought it stood for .40 short and weak

OP, stop posting Glock porn. Now I have a hankering for a G27.5 to go along with my G27.3 frying pan finish!
