For the G27, 10 rounds is actually with a +1 mag extension. It can only hold that number in a standard mag. His backup mags are Glock 22 mags.
For the .45, I can only assume it is a Glock 30 with full size G21 mags as backup.
There would be little point in carrying a Glock 27 with a G22 mag sticking out the bottom of it. May as well carry a G22.
Nailed it! Although, I had forgotten that the G27 was normally 9+1. I tried the Pearce grip extender, but didn't like it and traded for a standard 9 round mag with someone at a range that I let try mine and they liked it.
Actually, this guy carries all 9mm now. Glock 17 primary 17+1 & G26 backup 10 w/ 3 x 17-round mags and 2 x 33-round mags 18+10+17+17+17+33+33 = 145
Before the shooting, Gramins routinely carried 47 rounds of handgun ammo on his person, including two extra magazines for his Glock 21 and 10 rounds loaded in a backup gun attached to his vest, a 9 mm Glock 26.
Now unfailingly he goes to work carrying 145 handgun rounds, all 9 mm. These include three extra 17-round magazines for his primary sidearm (currently a Glock 17), plus two 33-round mags tucked in his vest, as well as the backup gun. Besides all that, he’s got 90 rounds for the AR-15 that now rides in a rack up front.
