Ok, so it's tax return time and I am considering another Glock in addition to my G27... Im thinking .45 or 9mm maybe 10mm and Im not trying to get the "stopping power" debate going... I want a compact but not sub compact... What would be best you think?

G23 makes the most sense based on your current ownership of a G27
If you want to switch calibers I'd go to a G19.

I can't warm to a G30, but maybe you would like it.

If you want a 9mm you should look at the 19, if you want a .45 you would probably want a 30 (they call it a subcompact but it is more like a compact). The 10mm is only chambered in a full size 20 and subcompact 29.

Glock 19 or 23.

My 23 has a bit more thump than my 19. But If you time me I shoot it just as well. It's just that it's recoil wears me out on longer training days a whole lot faster.

Thanks all! Yeah I bought the G27 on a whim... its not that I dont like it, its just that its the only .40 I have now and only the 2nd one I have owned. I wanted to give it another shot. Im leaning towards the G19 considering its what I was looking at first when I was considering a Glock to begin with :p haha

When standing in front of the Glock models, put a G36 in your hands. It's my newest addition and boy was I hooked. Great shooter (like all Glocks).

Good luck!

You can shoot a whole lot more, for a whole lot cheaper, with the 19. Something to consider.

I've owned a 27, have a 29, 17, 17L, and a 21. Out of all of them, I like to shoot the 17L, then the 17 the most. The 29 is an awesome carry piece --it isn't really a subcompact, it just looks like one. The size is similar to a 19 (but wider). I found it to be more accurate than the 27 (but may be just me).

The 17L shoots one ragged hole consistently. A 19 would be next on my list. I reload, so .40 is less appealing to me.

Almost.

Buy a Glock 23 and an extra 9x19mm barrel for it. That gives you .40S&W and 9x19mm in the same sized gun.

I hadn't heard of this until after I bought my Glock 19 a few years ago. I recommended it to a friend and it's worked out very well for him.

^^^^deanimarors got it

I just bought a g23 last week, now I have a .40, 9mm. And .357 all built into one gun. Great deal. Love the g23.

My vote would be a G36 if you are going to carry with a IWB holster. If not than a G30SF.

If your refund isn't as big this year, you can get a 9mm conversion barrel. :)

Not a big Glock fan, but if I were - well I would opt for a G-19; as factory
9mm is less expensive to shoot~! ;) :D

i just got a 21sf, and i loooove it but i most say, this is a range/hd weapon, too heavy to carry, you may like the 30sf its smaller. i recommend the G19 if you want a 9mm and the G23 if you want a 40/357sig
