    My first Glock was a G26 and I regret selling it. I only did so to move to a slightly larger model, the G19. Although it fits my hand much better I wish I would have kept my G26 because I could have just gotten a grip extension for it and used G19 magazines and kept the same gun. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE my G19 but I really liked the versatility of that tiny G26 with the way you could adapt it into different configurations (grip, mags, etc).

I also bought a stealthgear holster for my 32 and it carries and conceals as well as my baby glock. I even picked up a bond arms ranger 2. What a beast that triple ooo buckshot is. I've learned so much in the past year since I found your channel. The most important lesson I've learned and truly believe now is Glock is the way to go! Thanks hickock!

    I've used a G27 as a carry gun for a few years now and I love it.
    I just picked up the Lone Wolf Conversion barrel (to 9mm) from Cheaper than Dirt and it works great. It's like getting a G26 for about $130 (barrel's around $100 and I picked up a 9mm mag). Since 9mm ammo's cheaper than .40 cal, I should actually save money in the end.
    Get the G27 & the Lone Wolf barrel and you'll have the best of both worlds!

    I wanted to give u a big thanks for the baby Glock videos. I have watched them countless times in the past few weeks trying to decide if i wanted to buy one, from all the horror stories that are on the internet about the "Glock Grenade"... I ended up buying the Gen 3 Glock 27, and put 200 rounds down range sat, and love it!! Your video as well on cleaning the Glock was very helpful as well!!

    i own a glock27 and i also bought a conversion barrel .40 to 9mm and so i get the best of both worlds. that way i save some money. instead of buying a glock 26 i just swap out the barrel and get .40 s&w ammo and 9mm ammo keeps some cash in my pocket and yet i still get to shoot both types of ammunition.
    my philosophy is shoot smart and shoot straight :) GET SOME!

      @terrymccullough8045 8 лет назад +22

      I have to agree with you. I rented a Model 27 at a local gun range just to see how "snappy" the .40 S&W cartridge was. I was so "put off" that I bought one as soon as I'd turned the range rental in. I love this gun. I have a Gen 2 Model 19, and a Gen 3 Model 30, and I prefer the 27 to either of those. I like them all, but I like the 27 just a bit more.

    • @johnsonmcdick3002
      @johnsonmcdick3002 7 лет назад

      prefer 45 or 9mm - the 45 deffinitely for power. its more of a slow back push like launching a rocket. the 40 is a bit snappy unless you go with a good brand with proper recoil springs and recoil suppression / Ruger and Glock mute the snappy 40 issue. ruger does a better job. but you wont find a baby ruger in 40 :)

      @krstrid 6 лет назад +1

      It's not that a 40 sucks. 40 is a good round but... I think it is better in a carbine. Even Hickok can't fire that 27 nearly as fast as his 26 which for him will put out more damage per second than his 27 in the end. Also 9 is cheap to shoot. Also if you have smaller hands the 9 will just be more pleasant to shoot all around. With the right defense rounds a 9mm can get close to a fmj 45 for a very controllable platform. I also shoot 45s and prefer a heavier but steady push than a lighter yet snappier 40. All in user preference I guess. I used Hickoks videos and chose the 26.

    Just got the Glock 26. I have really short fingers. I have the 21s already. But with the long grip it’s not as big of a deal as the 26. I’m going to try learning to shoot with my middle finger instead of my trigger finger. Thinking that will help with the short grip also. Amazed at your ability to shoot that small gun with the massive paws of yours. You’re amazing! Any thoughts on using the middle finger instead of the trigger finger? Keep up the Great Videos! Thank You!

    • @bobbyb7127

    Had a 26, went to the 27, now I'm back to the 26. Why? Because .40 just beats the hell out of guns that are created for 9mm. Busted trigger pins, cracked frames, etc. The 27 is a lot of fun...just know you're going to need to keep parts on hand.

      For range use that may be suitable but I wouldn't recommend this for carry using just a 9mm barrel. Extractor in Glock 27/33 isn't 100% reliable with a 26 drop in barrel. Reliable enough for the range but I don't trust my life to hybrids such as that.

    • @smtbigelow
      @smtbigelow 8 лет назад +3

      You can use the 40cal mags for 9mm but I wouldn't use them for defensive purposes.....at the range yes. But also....I've noticed that if you use the 40 cal mags for 9mm you have to use them at the beginning with 9mm, meaning brand new with never having a 40 round inserted. The feed lips need to seat. If you have a 40 cal mag that has had even one round inserted I it the 9mm rounds will pop out, I've tried it.

I have a Glock 26 that my son gave to me years back when I got my CCW and I don't go to the range as much as most gun owners but when I do I am amazed at the accuracy of this gun each time I do. Easy to conceal and with the extended mags on this and add on grip its very comfortable to use. I have fired this gun and then my sons larger Glock 23 and the difference is remarkable. At least for me.
