Which .40 Ammo For New Glock 27

HARDCORE · January 14th, 2006, 03:11 PM

Hi guys,

Next month im going to get a new g27 and im not sure if i should carry what i carry in my g22 which is 180gr. gold dots or go with a lighter bullet.Do you guys think that id get good expansion with the 180gr. bullets out of the shorter barrel or should i go with the 155gr. loads.

Thanks, HARDCORE

Any of the diffrent bullet weights and designs should reliably expand. You might be more concerned with recoil controlability and fast follow up. Try some diffrent loads and see what works best/handles best/ is most accurate.

Welcome, I was starting to think the Army guys were gonna outnumber us, but I think we're giving them a run.

I keep saying I'm going to try Corbon DPX. It looks like some lethal, mean stuff. Their Powerball looks pretty good too, if you have feed problems, but not likely with the Glock.

Any of them will expand just fine... in my 10mm im carry Corbon Powerball right now

I've settled on 165 grain Gold Dots, Hydrashoks, and plan to try out Gold Dots. Works for me.

expansion requires speed. typically i recommend a lighter, faster bullet in any shorter barrel.

Thanks for the welcome and the replys guys. I really like the power balls for my Keltec p-3at but love the Gold dots out of my g22. I'll have to wait till i get the g27 and see what it likes best. Hopefully i'll get that w-2 soon from work and than i'll be good to go. I've been hinting on getting another 1911 to go with the Glock but the wife just gives me the look,if you know what i mean. Maybe i'll just have to settle on a case of ammo instead. LOL
Hey jar head,Semper fi brother, were always out numbered but us Marines always stick together right ,LOL. Actually where i work theirs 7 vets in my department and 4 of us are Marines. Figure that one.

Thanks again, HARDCORE

1 more Marine here!

I don't use 180grainers, I stick to 165 & 155's.

Whichever works best for you in your gun. Personaly I carry 165 gr or 155 gr Gold Dots. This is coming from another Leather Neck.

Im not trying to be a smart ass here, but rule of thumb is whatever fits and is on sale. Anything thats brand name, factory new, jacketed and preferably expands.
If its ever needed, I'll bet your target will never know the difference....
