Glock 27 or wheelgun?
« on: November 04, 2009, 11:25:58 PM »
I am new to the forum, but love the show.  I have searched the past forums and havent found the info I am seeking. I am a wheelgun man at heart but currently have a 24/7 pro compact for my cc weapon.  I like the pistol but hate the fact that aftermarket items are a little hard to find.  Can I get some opinions on the Glock 27 or the XD compact as far as comfort is concerned. I know that both weapons have there finer points I just havent been around them and there isn't a range were I can rent one anywhere close.  Maybe I should just stick to a wheelgun?  Any help would be great!!  Thanks again.

Hmm.. well what aftermarket items are you looking for / wanting?... and which one has them avaliable? The Glock or the XD. Umm, I'm also wondering if your a wheelgun man at heart why aren't you wondering about a small revolver..i.e. j-frame etc.. but then again.. you may have one already if you are a wheelgunner at heart. Anyway, if you read some other posts on here you will soon realize that I am a huge Glock fan. I have a Glock 27 that I do love to carry. I've owned an XD before too and they are fine weapons also. The G27 is not always as comfortable to carry as a j-frame type small revolver or a Ruger LCP..etc. But, depending on how you do carry it.. the G27 is still as comfortable or more comfortable than most other handguns out there. It is a tad on the thick side.. so if you carry with an inside the waist holster.. it's gonna grouge and bulge some and you are going to feel it...especially when you sit down etc. But, if it is carried in a regular belt holster ..type holster...outside the hip etc.. it's small ..rides comfortably and you won't notice it as much. Same applies to ankle or shoulder holsters. I think it would be more conceable and comfortable than the Taurus 24/7's I've held and shot. In a nutshell.. the G27 or the XD compact ..either..will be okay..carried in some ways.. and not so much if carried in others. And you have to consider personal preferences.. What way/s are you comfortable carrying? What weather climate? (winter carry vs.. summer carry etc.) What works for you? What do you want?.... There are many things to consider etc. Dunno if that helps you any or not. BTW, welcome to the forums.  :)

Wheel gunz iz real gunz!  I'd get a nice three or 4 inch barrel .357 and be done with it.  If you can find a Ruger or older (pre-lock) S&W that would be my choice.

huntnelk, welcome to the forum!! 

Don't know where abouts you are in Wy. but in Ft.Collins, Co. There is a great little gun shop with a indoor range that will let you shoot the gun or guns your interested in buying.

That is a great suggestion..... Go give them all a shake down at the same time and see what works best for you.

I will say again, give the Glock 26 a good long hard look. It is by far the most perfect form of "perfection" they have achieved and it is your best bet for a concealed carry Glock. 10+1 rds of 9mm will get the job done, plus it is also a lot more conducive to concealed carry -- the total package is about an ounce lighter. The practice ammo is also a lot cheaper. IMO, there is not a really big performance gain in .40 vs 9mm. If you really feel that you need more power then 9mm just go ahead and make the jump all the way up to .45 


*BTW - Glocks are considerably lighter then XDs -- 19.75 oz vs 26 oz

Thanks for all the info.  Shooter i live about 4hrs from Fort Collins but go there once in awhile.  I think that I may just hold out for a bit and go down there and shoot a few.  If all else fails I'll just stick with a wheelgun.  Thanks again
