Re: Accuracy of new Glock 27

I don't shoot my HK USP Compact in .40 S&W as well as I shoot my 3" Kimber in .45 ACP. Even though it is a larger and marginally heavier pistol, the recoil in the H&K is noticeably snappier - even with a magazine pinky rest. Combined with the inferior quality of the H&K trigger, it makes accuracy more difficult. I would imagine that in a sub-compact, it would be worse yet.

The .40 S&W is not my favorite cartridge so far. It's not the amount of recoil that bothers me (I shoot my 5" .44 magnum revolver quite well), it is the snappy character of the recoil that I find off-putting. It may be just fine in duty sized weapons, but I think that .45 ACP might be a better choice in a compact/sub-compact platform. At least that's how it seems to me personally. I know that .40 works OK for others; just not so well for me - at least not in my pistol.
