GLOCK 27
From Free net encyclopedia
Current revision
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.
Many 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.
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.
