GLOCK 27
The
GLOCK 27 is a
pistol manufactured by
GLOCK. It is a
GLOCK 26 modified to fire the
.40 S&W ammunition. It uses a modified
slide,
frame, .40 S&W
barrel and
magazine but is otherwise near identical in looks to the GLOCK 26. It has a magazine capacity of nine
rounds.
Some GLOCK 27 users find the grip uncomfortable without an aftermarket grip extension that attaches to the magazine and usually adds 1 or 2 extra rounds of capacity as well. The GLOCK 27 can use the magazines from the
GLOCK 22 and
23, which have a capacity of 15 and 13 rounds respectively. Aftermarket 29-round magazines are available.
Like most GLOCK guns, the name is often referred to as a "Glock" and not as "GLOCK". According to GLOCK—the company that manufactures the gun—this is incorrect. GLOCK refers to all its guns with all uppercase letters.
