| Has anyone else had a problem with the 27 feeding hollow points. Ball seems to work fine.....Bee |

180gr or 165gr? I've been shooting the 155 Silver Tips mostly then use the Walmart white box 165gr for additional practice. I've only shot the 180gr a few times, they seemed more push than snap. Recently I've been considering changing to them solely in order to get to that magic 12" of regular penetration. |
| I'd be interested in your impressions of the 180's feel. I'm still amazed at the accuracy of the G27, for a pistol that light with only a 3.5" barrel it shoots better than my S&W 65! I'll probably pick up a G22 this spring so that I have a full size pistol in the field as a backup. The 27 is tops for a CCW around town. |

I shot a 23 at an indoor range before I got the 27 and the G23 'felt' like the recoil was worse. Well, not worse, but definitely more noticeable. I think the dual captured recoil spring on the G26/27 makes a world of difference. The 1/2" of length and height shaved off the G27 makes it that much more concealable. I a big fan of the .45, but the G30 was just a hair smaller, but wider than the G23 so I went with the G27. The idea of the 10mm in the G29 was just a bit daunting to me. I shot a Bren Ten in 1984 and was way impressed with clanging the gong at 100yds. That power in anything smaller seemed a bit much. Then again, I've not fired a G29 so I really don't know. |

"Daunting" is a good word to describe the 29. I'm not going to lie and say I shoot it as well as I shot my 27, but I'm still "8-ringing" a B27 at 25m so I'm not going to complain. That said, my old 27 would be doing the 9-ring shuffle, or even "mostly 10's" on a good day (mine, not the gun's). |

The best holster depends on your physical build, environment and concealment needs. If you're carrying any extra weight around the middle you won't like an IWB too much. If you are sitting, driving, walking or lifting stuff most of the day then your needs will differ as well. I have a paddle holster that rides high and snug on either side. I also have a tuckable IWB holster for when the clothes I wear are lighter. Both work, the paddle is more comfortable, but also more to conceal. I've no experience with an ankle holster, though the Apache and Ankle Glove come highly recommended. |
