My G27 just seems to fat for me to carry comfortably. i am thinking the near Glock owner blasphemy of switching to a 1911 model.

Looking at Kimber Ultra carry 11 or the Par ordinance Slim Hawg. had them both in my hands today to compare. They are both much slimmer than the Glock, and seems much nicer for CC.

Thoughts anyone?

Get a Noisy Cricket.

wont work Coop.

the criminal element around here are mostly deaf.

Something about the water. I am convinced there is a correlation between crime and acute hard of hearing.

Data still pending.....

Your problem is the G27.

Shoulda got a G37.

RE #3

Wrong Noisy Cricket...

S&W M&P .40

oh,,

I thought this was about an internet porn chick...

never mind,,

wheel,

Love my ultra raptor. Great for cc as far as size goes. But the price makes me think twice about carrying it for everyday activity. Find myself carrying something "less expensive" on a day to day basis. Something to think about .......

Damn...thought maybe Gimbel's wife was squaring off against another poster or something.

NEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While I personally love the Glock 27 and would choose it in 40 S&W over the Para or the Kimber.If'n I had to choose between the Kimber and the Para.......Kimber all the way.I've shot a couple Kimbers out of the box that were slick as a greased owl ****.Para makes nice weapons,basically in the same price range.......just not as slick out the box IMO.

I agree with #10.

Para will be great for every day carry and will suit your needs..... but there's something about a Kimber that makes them so damn nice. It's a great piece that you could pass on to a son, too, later on in life.

I carry a Glock 27 on my ankle at work for back-up. I also carry it off duty. I like it, but it does get heavy sometimes. Have you seen the slim-line series? The G36 is a subcompact .45ACP and uses a single stack magazine. The only downside is a 6 round magazine, but that's still at least one more round (most likely two) than you usually get with a revolver.

I was just suggesting that if you were really a Glock whore and didn't want to change brands. And if I'm not mistaken, they only currently make the slim-line in .45ACP (for now).

Went and did a little research.The Kimber runs a couple C-notes more..................but worth every penny IMHO.The only Para that intrigues me is the Warthog........but it's priced right up there with the Ultra Carry 11(Kimber).So again Kimber wins IMO.

Ron

thanks guys.

My research comes up same. I hate idea of parting with my G27. Never looked into the slim line option. I'll have to research that some.

I was looking at the slime hawg, so yes, aside from the 6 month wait for a new ultra carry 11, I am leaning that way.

Either way I will still keep the G22 with light mount by my bedside though 🙂

The G23 works well for my needs. The right size and good stopping power.

I may rethink the Glock CCW option.

Red, I like the 23, just so used to th 40 cal.and my brother and I both have glocks so swappin out the mags and ammo is nice and easy.

I'd look at a Springfield. Basically the same price point, both are well constructed, but Springfield has better customer service IMO.

Davey, the 23 is .40 cal

I also tried the Springfield the other day. Never really considered it, but I should check it out again. Nice feel to it.

Red,

10 years I've had Glocks and the numbers still confuse me. Funny thing is I had a Glock 23 (gave it to my brother not long ago) as well as the G27. I was thinking you had the 9mm. G19).

Do you CC with it at all? I figure since i'd use the 22/23 for bedside I'd might as well go larger (more comfy).

That XD-45 looks awesome

Any .45 gets "hung-up"(on hammer) when you try to draw it out too fast.

Stick w/ hammerless.
