Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns My first handgun is a Glock 27. But I'm terrible at shooting it..

What expectations do you have?

Are you starting at 3 yards or 15 yards?

Like I said before, try 180’s. Lighter stuff is violent IMO.

Other than installing a conversion barrel and a 9 mm mag that’s all you need.

Is this calguns?

He probably posted the question there first, then cut and paste it here, forgetting to change calguns to Campfire.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

I was helping you out.

Finally, someone looked up.

A few posts down in this very forum, there is an explanation. Following the links gives more credence. And this OP just confirms the charge. If this poster offers anything for sale, hang on to your wallet.

Glock 27, and my journey of futility. I bought it used from my LGS because the price was good, and I hated every other Glock I had owned (grip flare never fir my hand) and thought "Hey, this isn't bad, and some Pierce grip extensions would be even better."

They helped, but didn't solve the issues, so I bought some Talon grips for it. Better, but still not right. Traded it back to my LGS for a different gun (S&W Model 19, blued, Detroit Police special edition).

Two years later I saw it sitting on the shelf at the LGS, with a coating of dust. Felt sorry for the little bastard so I bought it back, and put in a .357 Sig barrel. Much better, but still not right. I gave up on the little beast and gave it to an old and dear friend who worships at the alter of Gaston for his birthday.

He loves it and carries it everyday, so in the end I guess it was worth it (insert frustrated laugh).

I like mine.

It's easy to carry, accurate, and not difficult to shoot well.

That said, it wasn't my first handgun, and it wouldn't be my last one sold.

Glocks almost invariably work and in my opinion, their magazines are top notch. But to be perfectly honest, the 'large caliber subcompact' is something S&W does eminently better than Glock. I think if you shoot a M&P40C, or 40/45 Shield, your 27 will go on the block.

I'd do that anyway.

Just in case you, john39, are not out at the gettin' place buying all the guns talked about here, you could unload the weapon, unload it again and aim it at something not alive and press the trigger.
Did you see the sights move? If you did, change something, your finger placement on the trigger, your grip, something else and try again. Keep at it until you can pull the trigger without moving the gun,

True. There are good number of striker-fired, plastic framed pistols with better ergonomics: SR Ruger, S&W, Canik, Heckler & Koch,...... Glock guys will not accept a substitute. Look at magazine problems with G44. They keep making videos about: loading ammo certain way, pusing last round down before inserting mag into pistol, hitting back of mag against their skulls,......using select ammo like CCI MiniMags. Easier, cheaper solution would be to buy similar gun from Taurus.

Agreed. Based on the reviews of each, I'd go with the Taurus.

My wife is 5 ft tall and 120 lbs and she shoots her Glock 27 very accurately..... She has never complained about recoil....But she is from West Virginia....LOL

Say, you guys notice who is not in the conversation?
