Is it even possible to get your pinky finger on the grip of a 27?ronbo83 wrote:...but some people have not been able to get their pinky wrapped around the grip...
My daily carry is a 23 (compact .40), and my pinky hangs halfway off the butt of the grip (with standard mag). But, I've installed a Pearce mag extension that allows my pinky to fit just right. I DO have large hands, BTW.
Although the 27 will probably leave your pinky finger hangin', with proper grip technique, control shouldn't be an issue. And the sub-compacts certainly make for easy concealment.
Although I'm a Glock fan, and the 23 is my daily carry, I have considered renting a Springfield XD-40 sub-compact next time I'm at the range. It includes a standard mag, and a +1 (or 2?) mag/grip extension that fits nicely in my hand. Extending the mag or grip to be longer kind of defeats the purpose of a sub-compact, but it's nice to have that option.
