G26 VS G27

[Ojallday]

I've been thinking of of buying ether a glock 26 or a glock 27. I already own a glock 17 so I'm leaning towards the glock 26 but I've been noticing a lot of people like to shoot 40 cal. As for myself I love shooting my glock 30 in 45acp. So should I add a new Caliber to the family or should I just stick to 9mm?

Thanks in advance for you comments.

Stick to 9. No need for the middle caliber.

You can also use the 17 mags in the 26.

I'd stick with the 9mm since you already have its big brother... That said my first gun was a g27 and I love it! I really like the recoil impulse of the .40 round. I'm sure I'm a rare and dying breed but I'm almost all consolidated on .40 now, only one 9mm left and it'll get sold when I take it off my ccw at renewal time... Anyway, moral of the story is mag/ammo comparability is worth quite a bit IMO, so stick w the 9.

No offense to anyone that owns 40, but I wouldn't spend new money on anything in 40, especially in sub compact or single stack.

The only argument one could make for 40 is for power factor in USPSA. As a defensive round its pointless and has the worst recoil of any defensive caliber. It's no accident that a lot of departments are moving away from it.

I'd go with the 26 for same reasons as stated. Having more calibers means you need more storage space also.

Another vote for the 26.

you'll be able to find ammo a little bit cheaper and you should be practicing lots with a new handgun, especially when it's something just a bit harder to shoot well, like a sub compact.

I was contemplating the same thing two years ago but I owned a 19. I bought the 26. Then bought a used 27 a few weels later.

You just have to ask yourself what type of gun owner you are. I like to own and shoot a variety of handguns and calibers. While I have a preferred caliber for HD, that doesn't stop me from owning several others.

.40 is a dying round. Get the 26.

I love my G22 my favorite shooter, having said that I would opt for the G26.

Love my G27 and carry it often. However, l also have mostly .40s on my permit. But the logistics of keeping another round in your inventory is not worth getting another caliber.

Stick with the 9.

Get the G27. Then spend an extra $140 on a conversion barrel and two G26 mags and now you have two calibers in one gun.

G26 easy to shoot cheaper Ammo.

Had a G27 and carried it for a few years. Loved shooting it.

Then did side by side test with the G27 and G26. They were equal with slow fire. But with rapid fire 2& 5 rounds and a full mag, I was consistently better with the G26. At 7 yards I kept 6-7 inch groups with the G26 and I had 6 inch groups with double taps with the G27 but 12-14 inch groups when dumping the full 9 rounds.

That's just me. YMMV

Sold the G27 and bought the G26.

In 2016 there is absolutely no reason to choose .40 over 9. Except for those who are heavily invested in .40 but even then, thata easily fixed
