My new Glock 27L

At least that is what I'm calling it.

Why? If you insist on a logical answer, you probably won't get one from me. I just wanted to. I've seen it done, and I wanted to give it a shot. I rarely had any troble concealing the 23, but it would print at times. That is all but completely eliminated now. Plus, I now have a highly concealable gun that can wear a light and still has a decent sight radius. And did I mention that I just wanted to? Part two of this project will be taking a full size magazine and mod'ing it fully match the profile of my newly shortened grip. That will allow me to run the full spectrum of Glock with a simple mag change. (Because I want to )

I beavertailed and stipled this pistol a long while ago. Cutting it down to the 27 size frame took me about 45 minutes.

I don't understand, you mean adding material to the part of the magazine that sticks out of the grip to basically be a grip extension? A&G makes magazine sleeves that extend the grip for using a 17/22 magazine in a 26/27, all you'd have to do is remove some backstrap material from that sleeve, but the sleeve attaches with a screw in the rear of the sleeve that tightens against the back of the magazine so you'd have to shorten the screw as well.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll check those out.

I like it. I carry a Glock 27 because of the concealablity. The pistol handle length is the deciding factor for concealing a gun for me. The barrel length doesn't mean that much to me.

glock should offer these shorter frame/longer barrel setups as on option. they won't though lol

I like it! barrel length has never been an issue as much as grip size to me for concealed carry.

It's not a novel idea.
I did the same to my 2nd gen glock 19 in 1991.

Very nice! I am well aware that I'm not the first person to do this mod. Heck there are a dozen or more companies out there making a whole lot of money to do something that is pretty easy and straightforward to do. I only have one un-altered Glock, and that is primarily because it is brand new... That won't last long. I hardly hesitate to grab the belt sander/ Dremel/ soldering iron and go to work anymore... Working with plastics is pretty easy.
