any one out there have a 27 gen 4? how do you like it so far?

no, but I like the size. may be getting his little cal brother the 26.

my brother really likes his 26. i have had my 27 for about 2 weeks and it hides really nice. especially living in fla. when it's mostly t- shirt weather.

Man. This post is making me second guess myself. I was debating between the 27 and 23 and went with the 23. I live in florida as well so concealing was considered but i went with the 23. Since its been winter and ive been wearing some kind of jacket, ive been able to conceal it but im hoping i can find a solution for t-shirt season. Getting a summer gun (g27) is too expensive for me. And if i were to get a summer gun thats what i would want it to be.

Alude - keep in mind that the 27 has a much shorter grip. Many people choose to add the magazine extension onto the mag to make the grip of the 27 longer. When you do this, you are at the same size as the 23 in grip length. Grip length is generally the issue people have with concealing.

Example - without the grip extension, I can only get two fingers on my grip. With the extension, I can get three. It is this reason that I buy the compact models of calibers and not the sub-compact.

from what i read(don't have one yet) but the crossbreed super tuck seems to be able to conceal a howitzer fairly compfortable. but the only reason i bought the 27 rather then the 23 is for conceal carry. i keep a 23 mag in my pocket and the stock mag in the 27. you can make the 27 bigger but you can't make the 23 smaller. still you can't go wrong with either.

I love my 27. It's a Gen 3. I'm actually trying to sell it so I can get the Gen 4.

i really like it (gen 4 ) had some problems getting the gun shope to give me the 3rd. mag. but when i asked for their ffl # they had a change of heart. go figure. but i did notice a big dif. in the grip.really nice for me. the subs gen3 and 4 seem very manageble good luck.

Any specific reason why?

Haha. The "really cool new grip??"

I don't have a Gen 4, BUT I do love my G27. I think the textured grip is nice. Feels great in my hand w/o the pinky extension.

I like the new grip and the fact you can add different backstraps. Like a kid in a candy store.

 

[koja1962]

lol, that's about it!

I've got the G27 Gen4, and added the new Trijicon HD sights (orange outline) on mine and it is really a nice gun. Trigger is really a lot more snappy than any if the others I've got, including a Gen4 G19, so I'll likely do the $0.25 trigger job on it soon, or just keep dry-firing it (with AZooms) until it smooths out a bit.

I have learned to shoot it without using the pinky finger, and I really enjoy the larger mag release, too.
