The Glock 27 is a sub-compact sized weapon, which is probably the best and most popular size of a Gun to carry concealed. Many people associate pocket pistols with concealed weapon, but the truth is they're usually too small to do a ton of damage because of their large recoil as well as difficulty of aiming. The compact sized handgun is a little bit big in my opinion for regular concealed carry on your person, as it would be more difficult to conceal (I'm 6'3" and 230 lbs and I think it's too big). That means the Sub-Compact is the perfect compromise of the small overall footprint, while being big enough to shoot and stop effectively. Lastly, because of the small overall size, they feel great in smaller hands, especially in women, and the recoil of the Glock 27 is not bad at all for weaker hands to control.Round
The Glock 27 chambers a 40 cal (.40 S&W) round, which we have decided to be the Best Caliber for Concealed Carry. It has the stopping power of a .45 ACP round, while keeping the smaller size of the 9mm round. The round has great stopping power, especially when you use hollow point or other self-defense rounds. Some people think the 9mm round is the best round because of its price and availability, but I don't think the round is powerful enough for self-defense purposes.CapacityWhen you compare revolvers and semi auto pistols, the semi autos win by a landslide in overall capacity. Revolvers can only keep about 5-6 rounds, but semi auto pistols can hold much more. The Glock 27 comes with a standard 9 round magazine, and you buy magazines that have 11, 13, 15 and 17 round capacities. You probably won't be nearly as accurate when you actually do need to pull out your concealed weapon, because of the stress, rapid heartbeat, and a solid chance that it's dark outside. Because of those, you want as many rounds as you can hold. One of the worst things would be having 1 fewer round than you need. This Gun is perfect for that, and if need a ton of rounds, changing the magazine is very quick and easy, especially compared to reloading a revolver.Reliability / ReadinessGlocks are traditionally known to be some of the most reliable weapon on the market. They designed to be simple which makes them reliable in almost any circumstance. People have put the Glocks through ridiculous torture tests, and they have stood up to almost anything. They are also known for the safety being built into the trigger, which means no more worrying about a safety to hassle with when you need the Gun to function. If you pull the trigger, it will shoot.PriceAnother great thing about the Glock 27 is its price. There are many other guns that are great for concealed carry, and some of the top names in th e industry (Kimber, H&K, SIG). All of those other brands are significantly more expensive than the Glock, so for the quality of Gun you get for the price, I'd buy two Glocks before one of the luxury brands. You can find them new for about $400-500 compared to a $800 H&K USP Compact.Bottom LineThe bottom line is that the Glock 27 is the Best Concealed Carry Handgun available. It's small enough to easily conceal, yet large enough to shoot powerfully and accurately when you really need it to. The .40 S&W cartridge is small enough to have a large magazine capacity, yet powerful enough to take down almost any attacker. The Glock is extremely reliable in any circumstance, and is ready to fire at any time, all for a quite reasonable price.For more articles like this, that determine the best handgun, the best Ammo, or the best holster in different categories and demands. Also no matter what equipment you have you will need to train with professionals to ensure you are operating properly. Training is paramount and is more important than the weapons and caliber. So train regularly and stay "tuned up". I "press check" my weapon every morning when I leave the house to ensure I am ready.
