.40 S&W recoil was NOT bad at all.
I was surprised by how well it shot for first time out of the chute.
As a car gun this I'll definitely work!

Re: G27 First Shoot Surprise
It's my daily carry, except for work. 
It is a great little gun and does shoot well. I also do not think that the recoil is too bad. At least it's better than my dad's little .38 snub nose and less than a .357 and .44 magnum. I've never shot a .45, so I don't know, but would guess that it is also less than that.

Re: G27 First Shoot Surprise
I have shot both and I would call it a different recoil.... not necessarily lighter just different. My G27 seemed like a short snappy recoil where my .45 3" barrel seemed slower to come on but about the same.C-dub wrote: I've never shot a .45, so I don't know, but would guess that it is also less than that.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere. -Thomas Jefferson
Re: G27 First Shoot Surprise
Exactly what I experienced as well. I think my 45 3" shoots smoother.03Lightningrocks wrote:I have shot both and I would call it a different recoil.... not necessarily lighter just different.

Re: G27 First Shoot Surprise
The difference is the higher pressure load in the .40 vs. the lower preeusre round of the .45. The higher pressure rounds like the 9mm and .40 are much more 'snappy' than the lower pressure of the .45.slinco wrote:Exactly what I experienced as well.

Doc,
It's Trig from BFC. Small world. For some reason I missed that you lived in Texas on your BFCOT post.
Either way, BFCOT FTW.
