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). Live and learn . . .

@@j.a.g2896 they will fit between 9mm, and 40s&w. But in order to switch from a 9mm to a 40, you would need to change out the entire top end assembly, along with the extractor.

Great vid as usual. G27 is my carry choice. I prefer one less .40 round than carrying 9mm. If you're a new shooter all it takes is practice. Very controllable for a "small" gun.

[@corystephens821]

I shot my buddies Glock 27 I agree. 9 mil is really not a big caliber only benefit is high capacity. But these are sub compacts so capacity is out. Id rather have the 40. Recoil ain't too bad

[@fox579]

@SlowMOtionPotion816 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!

nice video. you are by far the best gun reviewer on the youtube in my opinion. i have fired the glock 27 .40 cal and i dont care for the small grip to much however it did feel pretty good after a mag or two. I dont have a problem with the recoil from the .40 i guess because im used to shooting .45 acp. great video thanks again.

I own and carry the Gen 4 Glocks 27,23, and 19. The 27 is my favorite by far for range time, and my 23 is my go to CCW. I load them both with 180 HST. The 19 is also an excellent shooting weapon, however, I don't feel as confident carrying the 147& 124HST even though they are fully capable self-defense loads.

[@chtomlin]

if you like the 27 at the range, then why the 23 for carry?

Good vid, this is a subject that come up between myself and a friend. Just read an article by a very well known handgun expert who to his surprised found that he could shoot better with Glock 26 versus the Glock 17. He learned that the shorter barrel took less time to focus on the next shot. He started doing better in matches with the shorter barrel too.

I too am a handgun expert, and I disagree with your friends statement. Shorter barrels make a gun less accurate, not more.

I have to agree with you on this. 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.

[@gunchief0811]

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!

just picked up my g26 and this is one very awesome gun....never leave home without it.... :-)

[@nickgood8166]

I'd say the 27 is rather more snappy than it appears in Hickock's hands. Remember, he's 6 ft 7, has big hands, heavy arms and a huge amount of experience, very few will shoot at anything like this level of expertise. In the 9 mil he was also shooting 147 grain bullets, which tend to be a bit more snappy than 125 grain - all other things being equal heavier bullets tend to be. 125 grain is more common carry fare in 9 mm and what I'd tote. So I'd suggest that because of this Hickock, is understating, just a tad, how considerably easier to shoot the 9 mil Glock 26 is than the 40 cal 27. For reference I've owned a Glock 26 Gen 3 for about 15 yrs in South Africa and put a good number of cast reloads through it (yes, I know they say you shouldn't - caveat emptor) and have shot the 27 at the range a bit. I'm 5 ft 11 and quite strong. I had a full sized CZ 75B before, which I loved, and it's very pretty. But it is one lump of heavy iron...just too big and heavy to tote around concealed in a warm climate. So I had a go with the sub-compact Glock 26 and was shocked that I immediately shot it better than the CZ75. The Glock 26 is very arguably the all around best carry gun on the planet.

[@jpugh3076]

So tired of people saying oh the 40 cal is to snappy smh yall need to grow a pair

[@terrymccullough8045]

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]

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 :)

[@haydenbasedcary2571]

Thank you! For speaking for me!! Lol

[@D.L.W.]

God forbid if any of these whiners ever shoot a Magnum revolver!

[@krstrid]

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.

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]

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.

Have both 27 Gen 3 and 26 Gen 5 MOS and the 26 is way easier to shoot fast and accurately but the 27 just reqires more attention, grip, and snappy whereas theirs nothing snappy about the 26 .

[@kingdave77]

I have a subcompact Glock 30 in .45acp. Great gun, easily concealable, very reliable.

[@scpd613]

I noticed you have large hands as I myself have too, my question is does it bother you shooting these little (baby glocks) pistols? thinking about picking up a 26 myself. thanks for any help you can offer. great video.

[@tiggerr42431]

Lots of great photography on this one. Very interesting video. I have a Glock 19 for the 9 and bought the 27 for my first 40 based on your videos. I like both and carry both for different needs at times. If my burglar alarm went off I would be comfortable with either in my hand.

[@buch3r]

Great video as usual. I was wondering, is your glock27 a gen4? The magazine release looks different, I wondered if the recoil is dampened more with the new spring compared to gen3 26?

[@wilkenms]

I love my G27. it's my primary carry gun. It is a fantastic firearm. Great Video!

[@luckyluciano4075]

Say more about the G27, please !

[@bishop7578]

Don't want to lift you up to high as I appreciate your humility. So, please just continue to do what you do. It's a blessing and a help. Thanks!

[@devillecook]

What do you think about Glock 26L? You gotta review this one!

[@tommcstacker4216]

DeVille....i saw what you did there. Nice! 😀 🗽🇺🇸

[@charlesware5767]

THANK YOU for accurately showing the recoil differences. And all the characteristics for that matter. LOVE all your videos but this one in particular since I'm going between a 27 or 26 for carry. I feel confident the 26 is for me now. Many thanks!! AWESOME CHANNEL!!!

[@shelbyprice7790]

Watching this is 2020 box of ammo ain’t 10$ anymore lol

[@ScubaSteve954]

the accuracy in this comment

[@Wysiwyg101]

@hickok45 The main thing that has put me off about the Glocks are those finger grooves in the grip. My fingers are too big for those grooves. However, I see that you are using some kind of grip on your Glocks to mitigate that. What kind of grip is that? Also, what magazine holster are you using?

[@cotyshotyou]

"This is the glock 27, in 40 caliber. And this is the glock 26 in 9 mm. And i am hickok45" Lol love the intro

[@maddyrodriguez863]

😆😆priceless

[@justindana1]

If you carry a glock 19 or 17 as your primary handgun, the glock 26 makes for the perfect backup gun.

[@justindana1]

I don't know about that, modern semi-autos are just as reliable maybe even more reliable than revolvers.

[@justindana1]

boomzilla86 revolvers can still jam by the bullets moving forward under recoil, the only difference is semi autos are a lot easier to clear a jam then revolvers.

[@andog6092]

+Justin Dana it all the revolvers i own i have never seen that happen or even talkabout that

[@justindana1]

Andrew h revolvers still malfunction, not all the time but it is possible, the difference between a revolver malfunctioning and a semi-auto malfunctions is a semi-auto can be cleared way faster than a revolver.

[@andog6092]

+Justin Dana i'm not saying they don't ive never had it happen, but the recoil causing the gun to jam is something i've never heard of

[@rifleslol]

@HearGear Quite a few. The Sig is typically double action/single action, and the 225 is a single stack gun. Despite being single stack, the Sig is still very large, and more along the size of a G19, but with less capacity. The advantages and disadvantages can certainly be argued, but about the only thing the two guns share in common are they are both reliable and they are both 9mm.

[@kguitar765]

I Have A 23.. I Traded in my G19 For A G26 A While Back, I Like The 26 Better!! Go Figure..

[@gummybear41283]

why do you like the G26 better than the G19? I have a G27 but was thinkin of getting a G19 too

[@campbell2054]

You are spot on once again on the baby Glock's. I have a gen 3 G27 and it is a fantastic piece. The size, weight and firepower that it has are perfect for CCW. I also use the G27 with shot loads when I run the chain saw for copper heads and cotton mouth snakes. Thanks again Hickok45

[@jam34786]

I wish they would put a rail system on the subcompact glocks! :-(

[@double_uoglobe]

I just build my G26. Polymer80 puts one on but it is short

[@corpsefamily]

@@double_uoglobe yeah theres p80s with short rails, rail adapters or lasers/laser+flashlights that can be installed without a rail

[@jaymeez]

I guess another consideration between the 26 & 27 would be the cost of ammo. There seems to be a signifigant price difference going from 9mm to .40

[@mcnasty624]

my Glock 30SF is the prettiest girl in the room.

[@andog6092]

love my 30s

[@Quamperfectum]

30S my favorite Glock.

[@1bourbon1scotch]

Hickock45's hands are so big these Glocks look like derringers. I'm truly impressed that he can be so accurate with a gun that is shorter than his fingers.

[@vinnier6]

People over think caliber

[@loyalrammy]

Thanks so much for this video. I feel better about my Glock 26 purchase, than I did. I originally wanted the Glock 27 for stopping power...But then this tragedy in Connecticut happened, and my local gun shop had a '26, and said that they didn't know when a '27 could be ordered...I will try to get a G17 mag, 'cause that looked fun!

[@matthatesford]

U sir, are an impressive shot. I've got a glock 27 dark earth as my carry gun. I love it but I'm not up to ur caliber lol

[@chrislawrence8141]

I have both guns, because I couldn't decide after seeing this video. Actually I just love 40sw. I already had the 26 then decided after renting a 27 I needed one. I like them both....tough decision if I could only have 1

[@kshema4]

I love the Glock 27 but since I already have the Springfield XD40 Sub I am going to get the Glock 26

[@shawnmlynch]

Ya' know, this guy may not have the most "exciting" reviews, but they are ALWAYS informative and enjoyable. Some reviews I have found on you tube you can't even watch for more than 10 or 15 seconds before the person doing the review gets on your nerves.

[@MyDarkMe]

made me smile when you put that G18-mag in the G26 :D

[@UltimateCARNUT]

great video as always hickok. Do you get a lot of bugs going for the sugar in all those sodas you shoot out there or not really?
