The Glock 27 is a pistol manufactured by Glock. It is a Glock 26 modified to fire the .40 S&W ammunition. It uses a modified slide, frame, .40 S&W barrel and magazine but is otherwise near identical in looks to the Glock 26. It has a magazine capacity of nine rounds.

The factory magazine for the 27 has a 9 round capacity. Additionaly, the Glock 27 can use the magazines from the Glock 22 and 23, which have a capacity of 15 and 13 rounds respectively. Aftermarket 29-round magazines are available.

Some Glock 27 users find the smaller grip uncomfortable without an aftermarket grip extension that attaches to the magazine, as there is no support for the pinky finger. Grip extensions can also be used to add 1 or 2 extra rounds of capacity as well. Others argue that such a modification makes the Glock 27 more difficult to conceal.
