I've been searching and each thread makes me reconsider what I just read on the previous thread. Bottom line, I still have two questions.
How bad is the recoil on the Glock 27, in general and compared to that of the 9mm sister the G26?
-And-
How difficult is it to convert a G27 to 9mm (I know that the .40 needs a simple barrel swap to convert to a .357 Sig, but I seem to get different answers on converting the .40 to a 9mm regarding what you have to replace in addition to the barrel and magaizines, if anything).
As far as what I am used to, I have shot several .40 S&W handguns, but they all have been larger than the G27 (think Beretta 96 size).
The only Glock subcompact I have shot has been the G36, and the recoil seemed more than manageable.
I am currently loving the 9mm because it is so quick and accurate (dead on with my Sig 228), but jumping into a compact .40 seems like a great idea, only I now have recoil concerns based on reading other threads.
I want a subcompact Glock, just trying to decide between the 26 and 27.
Can anyone provide a comparison, guidance, or any help (other than going to rent both guns and try them, although that is not out of the questions if someone knows of a cheap range in the Houston, TX area that will do so).
Thanks
