Question on a Glock 27 trade...

[cinman14]

I can't seem to fit my hand around my 27. I was thinking about going to the gun show this weekend and searching out a trade...

Would trading for a Glock 23 be an even trade, condition being the same for both?

I can't remember when I bought this earlier this year if the prices were the same for both..

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

I would be a good trade (value wise) but If you can't get your hand around a 27, then you won't like the 23 either.

That's what I'm afraid of... Maybe I should just get the trigger guard undercut...

Thanks for the info...

They are the same gun other than barrell length and the 23 is just a tad bit longer in the mag well area.

You would be more likely to find an even trade on the classifieds than at a gaun show.

Yup! The dealer at the show needs to make extra bucks to cover his show overhead.

The subcompact "baby" Glocks can feel foreign to folks with bigger hands. You'd possibly learn to accommodate with some time; there are some tricks to handling/firing the baby's. Still, a 23-size gun is easier for some to shoot well and not that much harder to conceal.

The longer grip on the 23 actually makes it feel slimmer to me than the 27. It gives you more room to wrap your fingers around it.

if you can hold out for the gen 4 23 you may like it. To me there is a visible size difference as well as the way the gen 4 17/22's feel.

Thanks for all of the advice.. I guess I will probably skip the gun show and head over to Sports World and handle a 23 and see how it feels first...

A gaun show? Must have been kinda late for me.

Skip a gaun show? Not!
