    Default Glock 27

    Last year I traded my Ruger P90 45cal for a Glock 27 40cal.

    So far I have no complaints. I like the comfort, concealment, size. Actually I cant really complain about any thing on the G27 other then I like the safty decocker on the P90.

    I guess I say all this to ask others on this forum, what they believe, reviews, etc about this weapon?

    I just bought a blackhawk serpa 2 holster..... any one else use this holster?

    Thankz

    I carry a Glock 23. The next size up to yours. Love it.
    Their great pistols.
    I am using a Fobus Evolution paddle holster right now, but after manhandling a Serpa, I plan on picking one up.

    I have a Blackhawk SERPA for my Glock 23. I recently got a Mitch Rosen holster & now the Blackhawk hardly gets used except for working around the property. I like the adjustability of the Blackhawk & how it can be used as a paddle or belt holster. It works fine, but I just prefer a good quality leather holster.

    Do you like the paddle set up more then the belt? Which on is more concealable

    My only "complaints" about my G27 is ammo cost and recoil. Once in a while, it bothers my wrist to shoot more than a few mags.

    I don't care for any extra levers/safeties on a carry gun, so the Glock works just fine for me. Keep it in the holster and there's no need to worry about cocking, de-cocking, or accidents.

    I have a SERPA for my G19 and the G27 works in it as well. Nice for the price, but is a lousy choice if concealment is a concern.(doesn't keep it close enough to the body)

    I ankle carry it as a backup to my H&K .40 P2000. I bought it used. The recoil is more than the H&K but it is just as accurate. I put Trijicon tritium night sights on mine, great move. I did refinish it in Duracoat, and it held the plastic just fine but not the metal, I would send it out for a professional finish if I had to do it over again.

    I prefer the belt holster instead of the paddle if I am carrying it primary, and it hides it fine under a light jacket. I like the idea that it is permanently attached to me as I never know what crazy situation I might get into.

    My mags have a +1 or finger grip...I wouldn't be able to manage it well without as I have larger hands.

    The 27 does what it is supposed to, well. If the recoil is heavy...then the 9mm may be a more fitting option for the shooter. I hate .40S&W in general, but if you like it, then the 27 is good sub-compact platform for it.

    Regarding the SERPA, I think it's a mass-marketed holster which does nothing well.

    If you want a concealable kydex holster, get a Raven, Comp-Tac, Desantis, etc. If you want good reliable retention, get a Safariland SLS/ALS, or a Galco thumbsnap.

    If you do a search on the SERPA, you'll find that plenty of people have specific issues with it. You'll also see plenty of blanket "i like it" statements.

    Personally, I used it, and have little use for them anymore.

    I love it!
    The Evolution series from Fobus sits very close to the body. I pull my belt an extra hole tight, and that holster is not going ANYWHERE.

    I love it because I can take the holster and gun off in one piece quickly while sitting down.

    When I pull up to work, I just loosen the belt, twist the paddle sideways, and pull it out while turning it clockwise.
    Takes less than 2 seconds. I lock it in my car. Once I leave work I sit down in the car, unlock the gun, throw the holster on, tighten my belt, and done!

    If you have never tried a paddle, at least try one in a shop. I think you will be happy with it.

    I love my G27 and fire it regularly, I also use the Serpa Holtster on the paddle for ease of removal. I am used to the Serpa holster since I used one for my Berretta in the Army. I am willing to look at others but I guess I will get around to one day. Never had a problem with a ND with any pistol I have used but I have had over 32 years of keeping my finger off the trigger until I am ready to shoot re-enforcement.
