Glocks are great but I would wait for the Gen. 4 to come out next year if your go that route. But I would also suggest you take a look at the M&P40c or the 9c. the ergonomics are great, their available now, and you get a couple more rounds than the glock.  ;D more is better right  ;D ;D

 If you prefer Revolvers that is what I would stick with.
If you feel you MUST get a semi auto, I would suggest one that most closely duplicates your revolver trigger. I went with a 1911, which is most like the trigger pull of a revolver fired single action.

I've had excellent service from my G27 for almost 6 years. Carry it every day in an OWB belt holster (SERPA). With a Pearce mag extension you can get 10 +1 rounds, but I only use the Pearce +1 extensions on my spare mags because the gun conceals better with the factory mag in place.
At times I have wished that I had went with the .45ACP (G30?), but do not feel under-gunned with the .40.

I've owned three Glocks in my life. A gen 1 G17, A gen 2 G19 (which I still own) and a gen 3 G26. All have accurate enough (ten rounds in 5 inches at 15 yards) all have been safe enough I never worried about sticking them in a backpack or in my pocket with a loaded chamber, and they never failed to go bang. You could probably say the same about a Smith J frame, or a ruger. I just prefer pistols to revolvers, but that's just me. Either way you're good, but you will never regret owning a Glock. I am on board with Eric though. Why buy a G 27 and have to pay a lot more for ammo when the diference between 9mm and .40 is minimal? I'd go G26.

That all depends on ammo availability in your area.....actually, in my particular area, .40 S&W ammo is the only handgun ammo in large supply. Gun shops, wally's world, all have .40 when they don't have anything else.
That works for me, but YMMV.
Check around first.

The twyacht Charitable Ammo Donation Drive is alive and well, for those that wish to contribute,.... all calibers welcome.. ::)

To the OP, 9mm vs. .40 is an age old debate.,.... Conclusion?

.40 S&W is a great SD round, available in many compact platforms by many manufacturers.

9mm is cheaper ammo, and premium SD rounds are just fine for carry by the same manufacturers.

Either way,

Shot placement is THE deciding factor regardless of caliber.

So, huntnelk, welcome to DRTV, consider all the variables that apply to you and what you want out of a small semi-auto, more rounds.? reliability? ease of use? cost? durability? recoil? maintenance? 

You are already are a wheelgun fan, and IMHO, a good revolver with good training and practice, is all you need unless you live in a really bad area, even than, they have speedloaders...

So shop around, test drive what you can, read reviews, post specific model, make questions here, (someone will have one, or had one), read the DRTV reviews, PM any of us that might provide specific knowledge of a given pistol.

Check out some online sights like gunsamerica.com gunbroker.com, check some prices to see if your local dealer is on par with pricing.

just my .02 cents....

Nothing wrong with a .357 spurless SP101.  ;)

Isn't the .40 Glock the one that's proven to be not so "perfect"?  Not bashing Glock, but I've seen quite a few pic's of the .40's blown up "because the chamber doesn't support the bottom of the case well" (just what I've read!).   :(

Seems like I've been seeing the same thing as quaker for a LONG time now.  Near EMPTY ammo shelves, except for the stacks of .40 S&W.
