Just got a used Glock 27

[Stirlee]

I just put a agency trade in 27 in jail. Looked to have a good amount of carbon build up. How many rounds would you guys recommend to test for reliability? im on a tight budget, but i want peace of mind.

should i test it without cleaning it, test is clean no lube, or clean, lube and test it

I would clean, lube and put a few hundred rounds through her.

I 2nd that advice.

Cool video in your sig line OP, my son and i got a laugh out of that.

Definitely clean, lube, test. Shoot at least 200 so you can get used to the gun. It is a lot smaller than the Ruger you had and will shoot differently. Good handguns and quite accurate.

Clean and then add a little bit of frog lube. I would say about 150 - 200 rds. Most importantly, have fun!

Just my $0.02 take it or leave it

I also got a used 27 recieantly here is what I did:
Step 1: First thing I did when I got it home was tear the entire gun down using my glock armors tool then I cleaned all the parts using break free a rag and a tooth brush then I used a bunch of Q tips to clean inside the slide and the frame being sure to get all the dirt out of it after that I lubed all the parts with a light coat of rem oil and reassembled the gun
Step 2: A few days later (when I had a day off) I took the gun to the range and ran about 300 rounds of Winchester white box target ammo through it I also ran 2 boxes of the defensive ammo I plan to trust my life to (hornady critical defense) through it
Step 3: When I got home from the range I tore the gun back apart and cleaned and lubed it in the same way I described earlier in step 1
I know running 300 rounds of white box and 40 rounds of defensive ammo is expensive and cleaning it the way I described might be a little extreme but this is now the tool I trust my life and my family's life on so it was way worth the time and money to me

Send it to Glock! Have them refurbish the pistol!

I'm surprised that it was heavily used. Maybe it wasn't used much, just never cleaned? Either way, I would just lube it and put a couple hundred through it.

How much did it set you back, if I may?

[ElDub1950]

I agree with a thorough cleaning and appropriate lube.

I'd say bare minimum 200 rnds of regular ammo and 100 rnds of your favorite defense ammo. If ammo was a reasonable price I'd say at least 500 rnds of target and 200 of defense.

Love my G27

i hope that was the case. The only reason i think it was used a lot is because of the barrel wear. From what i seen ppl have put 600 rds through their glocks and not a hint of wear to be found. Other times it has tons of wear at 200rds, so who knows. So if this one lots of visible wear, only God knows.

absolutely, it set me back 429 with one mag and trijicon night sights.

thank you everyone for your replies! i will follow through for sure, just had getting money for ammo. much less hallow points haha.

Congrats. I love my G26. Clean, lube, shoot, repeat.

Right on mate, that's a bargain in todays climate. I wouldn't worry about it much. Do let us know how it shoots when you get it out of jail though!

Congrats on the 27!!!
Go get a 23 to pair with it.
