GLOCK 27 Gen5
With the release of the GLOCK 27 Gen5 in 40 S&W the Gen5 family gets a new member. The innovative Gen5 design changes are added to this small, light, accurate and powerful pistol that so many U.S. law enforcement agencies have chosen as their official backup weapon.
By applying the Gen5 technology this model comes with nDLC finish, the proven GLOCK Marksman barrel (GMB) and an ambidextrous slide stop lever.
Adjustable like the Gen4 model the subcompact frame of the G27 Gen5 features the Modular Beavertail Backstrap System (MBS) and comes with a reversible magazine catch to accommodate left and right-handed operators.
Note: The slide width of the 40 S&W Gen5 models is slightly bigger compared to the previous generation. Please consider when choosing your holster.

FEATURES

nDLC finish
GLOCK's nDLC provides tougher, more durable protection than previously used finish. The nDLC finish increases protection against corrosion and scratching and improves the ability of the pistol to function in adverse conditions.
Ambidextrous slide stop lever
The ambidextrous slide stop lever makes it easier for gun owners to quickly safely and comfortably manipulate the slide wether they are left-handed or right-handed.
GLOCK Marksman barrel
The GLOCK Marksman barrel (GMB) features enhanced barrel rifling based on the proven polygonal barrel design which delivers improved accuracy.
Versatility by removal of the finger grooves
Comfortable grip to a wider range of consumers, regardless of their hand size.

Magazine capacity
Depending on caliber and size of the pistol model high capacity magazines are available.
Customizable frame size
Every GLOCK Gen5 comes with beavertail backstraps in two different sizes. The backstrap frame allows the users to change the circumference of the grip to fit their individual hand size.
Gen4 RTF - Rough textured frame
The Gen4 proven rough textured frame surface is present on the Gen5 frame as well. It was designed to enhance grip traction, without beeing too aggressive.
Reversible magazine catch
The magazine catch of the Gen5 frame is reversible and enlarged towards the rear of the pistol. The reversible magazine catch is more user friendly to the shooter's reach and allows them to switch the catch to the left or right side of the pistol.
Polymer frame
The durable and lightweight polymer frame absorbs recoil due to the dampening characteristics of the polymer.
Loaded chamber indicator
Visible and palpable indicator as part of the extractor to show whether there is a cartridge in the chamber.
