The grip is just too short, that said there are a million ways around concealing a larger gun. I am right at six feet tall and only weigh 155. I concealed a 1911 everyday for a year. Full size grip just shorter barrel although the barrel length isn't an issue. I never wear anything but t shirts and blue jeans. You can with a good holster and the right attitude conceal anything. I highly recommend crossbreed holsters. I just bought something that was similar but cheaper and yeah it's true you get what you pay for. It's not awful but it ain't the cats meow either.

You still only have a 3 finger purchase but you stop worrying about your bottom finger slipping - especially if someone were to grab the gun by the barrel. It feels far more solid in your hand.

I find that I shoot every bit as good and comfortable using this floor plate AND it keeps the G27 nice and small in it's "print". It's cheap enough to try out and I think you'd be surprised. I've shot lotsa rounds with my G27 equipped with this and I feel completely comfortable with it as I do my G23.

And as someone here stated, once you put the Pearce extension on your G27 (which I do have a couple) you may as well be toting the G23 (which I sometimes also carry).

Now as someone here mentioned, the G23 can be converted to the G32 with only a barrel swap. I have the factory Glock .357sig barrel and it's great. Not only does it allow you to use the same holsters etc. as the G23 (and G27) BUT it also makes the gun a good 2 ounces lighter depending on the loads.

So many choices as I get ready to leave for the morning! My wife takes less time to pick out a pair of shoes.

Would carrying my glock 27 with the Glock 23 mag give me the same "print" as a glock 29? I can't afford to buy a Glock 29 right out. I am 5 8' roughly 190. Even in winter I mostly wear t shirts (I sweat at anything above 20 degrees) I know I can also get a .40 barrel for a 29 which makes this choice seem even more logical. However, I don't want to risk my concealment. I can't dress "around" my gun anymore than I have already tried in the 2 years I have been carrying.[/quote

With the Peirce extension you have almost the same print as a G 23. I switch between carrying a G 27 with a Peirce +2 and a G 23 depending on how I feel. I carry a extra magazine (G 22) with either gun. The 29 is a little thicker that the .40 and the ammo is a lot more expensive. For those reasons I would stay with the .40 or maybe carry a G30 (cheaper ammo than 10mm). But the wide print of the G 29 and G 30 would be little more that .40.

You can use the same mags as well. Don't know if you have looked at the 357 sig round, but it is a very mean round.
