Glock 27 Update

Even though I have been in rehab for over six months, I have still been alert to opportunities.

My Glock 27, which I featured earlier, fires the wide and short .40 S&W round. This combination allows the shooter to carry a subcompact 9mm sized gun with ammo trending in the.45 ACP direction.

Here's even more good news. The Glock 27 will fire .357 Sig rounds after substituting a .357 Sig barrel. If you're wanting to hose something down, you must substitute a .357 Sig magazine as well.

Why is this good news? Some of us want the flexibility of shooting a high-velocity, slim bullet over long distances because of its flatter trajectory. Also, the .357 Sig hits HARD. Expect a loud blast and a bright flash, but no mechanical problems. The .357 Sig round hits just as HARD as the legendary .357 Magnum 125 grain hollow point. I'm used to shooting the .357 Mag round from a 2" snubbie, and I'm used to the flash and blast.
