Ok. Well, I got a fabulous deal on a new G27, (it's less than our normal cost as a distributor!) so I'm thinking about buying one, BUT I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons here, so any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
Pros:
*it's smaller than my Sig P239, so maybe it will be easier to conceal in warmer months.
*I'm told it's similar to my Sig's DAK where there are no external safeties, which is what I prefer.
*It's a .40 cal. Not to get into the whole debate about caliber here, and I LOVE my 9mm, but I suppose that in theory, it's not a bad idea to go up in caliber. I was always told to shoot the largest caliber you can safely, comfortably, accurately, and consistently shoot. I've got the 9 down pat now, so maybe I should work on 40?
*It's a Glock, what's not to love?
*The price.
The Cons:
*It's smaller than my Sig but a larger caliber. I'm concerned that it the resulting "kick" might not feel so comfortable in my little hands.
*It's a .40 caliber and I have issues with .40. It doesn't matter where I am on the range, whether I'm firing the .40 or someone else is, how I hold it, what make/model, I WILL GET HOT BRASS, guaranteed. I was recently on the line and 8 people down from the guy with the .40, I STILL got hot brass on my neck! :aargh4:
*It's not a Sig. :gah:
*Even with a great price, it's still not just pocket change, either.
I'm going to put a box or two of rounds through a friend's G27 on Thursday at the range, just to make sure I like the way it feels. But what do you guys think? Anyone regularly shoot one? Can you compare it to the P239? Especially you smaller ladies -- is it THAT much easier to conceal that it's worth buying another gun?
