I bought my Gen 4 27 shortly after watching this vid. My 27 has become a real pardner. So much so that I named it "Fred". Fred and I go to the grocery store. We go get gas for the truck...we go everywhere. He's remarkably polite. Never argues with me. Always content to just do what I want to do. He's very patient too. He's got my back the entire time. What a buddy!

I, just like the bigger bullet that will penetrate further. paul harrell 9mm vs .40 is what everyone needs to watch. Changed my mind. I shoot my 27 really fast and get really good groups. Snappy? that's 10mm .40? that's easy. 3 hour on the range today with a Glock 27,23, and a 45. acp Glock 30. I can rapid fire that Glock 30 at 15 yards and tight groups easily.

Excellent camera work too I may add. You really forget you are not there. At one point I started to realize someone must be holding the camera, and I wasn't there. Superb camera work.

In a thousand years, archeologists will find all the lead at this range and say, "An army must have trained here."

I'm Austrian and for some reason, I never wanted a glock - until I shot one! Now i ended up with 3 different Models and love every one of them. Greetings from the homeland of Glock and keep up the good work Mr. hickok45.

I just bought a g27 gen 4 the other day. Love it! Ive found it to be very managable, despite what many online reviewers say about the recoil. I think that has been blown way out of proportion! Im 5'10" 175 lb, medium to small sized hands, and I find this gun extremely managable. Just want to get that out there. If your on the fence and like the 40 s&w round, but are worried about the recoil, its really not bad. My opinion is that is way overblown.

I agree with you, I'm an inch shorter than you and just 5lbs lighter and I've always used .40 S&W without a problem. I've fired .45ACP and .44 Mag too and the ACP is managable but the .44 nope. 40 S&W is tame in comparison.

I love going back to these older videos . Always enjoy spending time at the Hickok 45 Range👍🏼🇺🇸

Just purchased my first Glock 27 today. Too much fun indeed! I cannot wait to have it in my hands!

That was amazing when shooting the gong. You can actually see the bullet hitting the gong and breaking up after impact.

I can watch the new videos, but its something about these old videos, you all have so many great videos that till this day are still teaching us. I love my glocks, and its honestly because of you! GB

I’m 12 and I love going to the range with my grandpa and shooting his Glock 27

I don't recall, but I always shoot factory 180 grain ammo in .40 S&W, so if I did not say in the video, it was whatever brand I happened to have plenty of: Remington, Blazer Brass, Federal, etc.

This is the most excited I've ever seen this guy get while shooting a gun. I've watched a ton of his videos, & while he may not admit it, or put the g27 on his list of his favorite Glocks this is his favorite hangun of all time no questions asked.

Just bought my first Glock, a 23 gen 4. Thank you for all your input and reviews. Awesome videos!

I like how you explain this weapon! I have never owned a Gun but damn you just got a subscriber, and I've made my mind up to get a Glock 27 or Glock 23 for Concealed carry. I will of course take proper gun safety classes! Thank you again Hickok45 !!

It's always been reliable for ME. I think for anybody who has a limp wristing problem, the G27 might bring that out. It IS a snappy little round, which is one reason so many people like to trash it, I think. They just find it kicks too much for them, so they find reasons why it's a horrible round. :-) I'm just about as happy with a 9mm, but the .40 is a fine round, too.

THis video starts out with a most impressive run. Really amazing sound on this video, the number and pace of strikes is amazing considering the difficulty of the weapon.

hickok45 thxx for all the knowledgeable info,, ive been wacthing all of your videos for a while now, when ever i need to know something about firearms i go to your channel, as a proud taurus owner of the millennium G2 9mm, mind you i have over a 1000 rds thru this nice piece with no jams, fail to feed or misfires etc, i have finally made my cross to the glock 27 gen4, i mean what can i say, your vids proved to me that this firearm is great choice :), stay safe my friend and carry on;)

one of the things I love most about glock is the bigger mags fitting. I did the same thing as you when I was law enforcement. carried my 23 on duty with the 15rd mags as the spares. carried my 27 off duty with some kind of combination of the 13rd and 9rd mags as spares. still carry the 27 for CCDW EDC

I carry one of these as my CCW. I absolutely love this pistol and I doubt I'd be so keen to trust my life to any other pistol.

Just got my G27 Gen 4 and I love it. I shot 200 rounds at the range. Different types. They all fed nicely and perfect.

And don't forget all you need is a barrel swap and some mags and you can shoot 9mm or 357 from it as well, 3 guns in one, and with how quick and easy glocks are to break down, it literally takes 2 seconds and you have another caliber ready to fire. 💪👌

You just make music every time!!!!! I love it! Have learned so much from watching you

Ring up another sold Glock Model 27, courtesy Hickok45. I went into a local gun range/store, rented a Gen3 Model 27, and put 100 rounds through it. Immediately upon completion of my session in the range, I turned in the rental gun and bought a brand new one. I love this gun. It felt right in my hand, and the recoil was more manageable than I had anticipated. It was watching one of your videos, Hickok45, that prompted me to give the pistol a try. Job well done, sir.

Same this was my first pistol also. Love it. I actually shot some 9mm the other day and I now really want a CZ75B. But this pistol will be the one that protects me at home.. due to California's communist 10 round magazine laws. If I could hold a 15 or 20 round magazine in a 9mm then it might be a different story. The .40 has the proven ballistic performance.. can't ignore science and physics.

@bobaroosa, I guess they are the same as the Gen 3. The grooves are in the right place for me, so I never notice them.

@tormozat , They are actually stronger than G 3 springs. Probably LESS likely to fail.

I shot the glock 27 40 cal when I was 11 I looked like when Hickok shot that 500 magnum

Just shot a Glock 27 for the first time today. Its an amazing little pistol

Man Hickok45 basically never misses a beat! Just about every video i watch of his, he never misses the first shot

Great overview just got my G27 Gen 4 OD Green yesterday and today went to the range and put 50 speer lawman 180gr, 50 Winshester White box 180gr, 50 Blazer 180gr, 50 Remington 180gr, 50 Range Reloads 180gr, 25 Zombie Max 165gr and 25 Golden Saber 180gr without any issues on my G27 Gen4. Recoil did not felt bad and it was accurate at 7 and 10 yards. No complains this is my new EDC weapon love it! Too much fun today.

I'm really starting to become a huge fan of this weapon, might just be my first.

The Glock 27 is my favorite pistol as well.

this video inspired me to go buy glock 27 gen 3 today thanks Hickok luv you're videos the best on you tube by far😎

Thanks for all you do Hickok! I getting a g27 next week thanks to your positive reviews of it

Best purchase was my Gen4 G23 and G27... I sold my lc9s and G19. After shooting 9mm and .40 for years I am way happier with the .40. People who complain about ammo cost should shut up Its 10$ more a box. BIG DEAL. Get a real job or sell your gun.

Hey Hickok have you tried the N82 (pronounced Nate squared) tactical holster? I have a couple one for a 23 and a SR9c I have. Getting ready to get a 27 and the holster for the 23 will probably suffice for the 27 as well. The professional series is the only ones I have experience with. Very comfortable

After watching your video's I decided to go with the Glock 27 instead of the XD subcompact. Got my 27 gen4 about two weeks ago and I love it so much. I completely understand why you love this great little gun with a good punch. My new favorite Glock for sure. Love all your videos Hickok, don't ever stop making them!

I am a .40 S&W guy and carry Glock 27 (gen 3) ALOT!! With the Pearce ' pinky shelf' it's perfect!! God Bless You and yours!!

I rarely have seen hickock45 this chipper! :D

Love the shirt!, John's camera work is so good when you see the bullet trajectory hitting the gong and you can see the pathway. A wonderful fun, relaxing video to watch on a spring day in Kentucky. I actually get a kick out of how a shooter can have so much fun even while missing a chicken. I sometimes get more fun figuring out what to change after a miss than I do hitting dead center some mornings. My Glock 27 handles so well it surprised me since it was my first 40.

Glock and hickok45, what a great matched pair that is, and your son is as good with a camera as you are with a gun, thumbs-up to you both.

You betcha; forty to fifty years of experience shooting and owning hundreds of different handguns tends to give one a little bias. :-) Most will get the job done, however, and for anybody who really doesn't shoot all that much, it especially doesn't matter. He won't be able to tell that much difference. I don't talk about it much because it sounds a bit elitist, but the more proficient a person becomes with a pistol, the more he notices the little things that make one more desirable.

Well, I'd look at all the various grips out there. There's this grip cover called Agrip, I think. I've bought a set, but I didn't like them enough to use them, but they cover the whole grip, if I recall correctly and are more like felt or something? There might be others like that, something soft. I don't care for shooting with gloves, as some do, but that might be the more obvious answer. You could surely find gloves that protected your skin well enough.

Thanks to all who have replied to my question about the 22 and the 27. I'm inclined to agree with you guys! I think that this debate is kind of unfair to Glock as they are the highest selling pistol in the world, to my understanding that is. So it would only seem only right to hear about kaboom's from them. I'm sure it happens to Colts and Berettas also. (One time military pistols, also) Everyone wanted one of those for the same reason they wanted Glock: The Military Can't Be Wrong! They trust and have tested it's reliability! So, again, thanks for the replies! Yes, I 'm a "Glock-tard" or "Fanboy " or whatever you want to call me. However, I do appreciate a good 92fs also! I don't just tote Glock! I just like them most! Sorry about the rant! Hope the best to you all in whatever gun you choose!

Just bought my Gen 4 Glock 27 based on your reviews thanks! It feels great in the hand and I cant wait to shoot it! It's my first Glock.

As always, great video! The 27 was my first CC weapon and still my favorite. When I got my CCW in California around 2012, it was the only decent sub I could find in stock. Nothing I've purchased since has measured up. I didn't think I liked Glocks until I owned one.
