It is all very subjective. I shoot my 27 more than my 22 and therefore I am more comfortable and more accurate with my 27. That'll drive one nuts. I don't really notice a difference between the recoil of the two. Everyone else may and that's fine. Someone may even pick up a 27 and shoot 100 rounds through it and hate it. That's fine too.

The OP thanks all of you for your valuable input, which has confirmed my desire to purchase a G27. Now, does anyone know where I can find the best price in Austin?

Give GT Distributors a call. Sometimes they have great prices on used Glocks. They have special pricing for Military and LE, but they might sell to "civilians".

I'll second the recommendation for GT's but they will NOT sell a new Glock to anyone who is not a LEO or first responder type (one exception I've heard of is if you're a member of the Glock Sports Shooting Association (do I have the name right?) that membership buys you the privilege to buy one Glock per year at LEO discount prices (about $390 for a brand-new gun).

I bought my G27 there used for $339 + tax a few weeks ago. Was barely used to. Apparently some police officer bought it as a backup weapon then traded it in on something else. Still had the original Glock factory gold grease inside the slide rails. Had them add Trijicon dual-color night sites, a holster, two extra mags, ammo, and some other odds and ends and with tax walked out for $525 (same as buying a new G27 only before tax at Academy).

GT Distributors is having another big "trade in clearance" at 8:30 am Monday 2/15, you might check in that morning (but get there early for the good stuff - it goes quick). Last time I saw a guy walk out with a barely used 7-shot S&W 686 .357 Magnum with 4-inch barrel for $349. Someone else got a used Beretta 92 for $299.95

Even if they don't have a G27, you can almost always it seems lately pick up a Gen 2 Glock 23 or Glock 22 police trade in for $299. These are a little beat up looking, but shoot well (my friend has one).

G30SF would be the next likely candidate. I wasn't a huge fan of Glocks until recent. My dept uses a G22 but we are switching to the 21SF. This prompted me to purchase a G30SF for off duty use (same mags as 21/sf). I actually really like it. I shoot it more than my 1911 and my H&K now. I don't necessarily like it more, but I'm impressed by it. I added Glock night sights, I think a CT laser grip is next.

Thanks for your input on the 30SF gigag04. I have a strong feeling this will be my next purchase with in the next 3-4 weeks.

Cabelas in Buda has Glock RTF 9mm or .40 "Full size or Compact" on sale for $499.99
Cabelas near you may also, page 19 on this flyer they had in the Newspaper http://cabelasflyers.dirxion.com/1se/bu ... e=1se10flx#" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I would pick up another Glock 19 if I hadn't spent a month's pay on other things already.
