Let's just get this out front: I'm not so great at my shooting any more - I just don't have time to practice like I'd like to, I don't have a great grip with my arthritis, and I'm not Hickok45.
All that being said, I was curious just what the difference would be if I set out to compare a G26 and G27 back to back with carry ammo. For the first time, wifey and I have one of each, so I thought this was my opportunity.
I came home from work and took both guns out for a quick vid with the carry ammo in each. Shot this vid cold with no practice beforehand.
I don't normally try to shoot real fast. I'm normally trying to put all my shots in one hole. This time around I thought I'd attempt a "rapid fire" string, focusing mainly on putting rounds on target as quickly as I acquired the sights. My speed obviously hindered my accuracy, but the results were telling, to me, anyway.
And it made my decision between carrying a 26 or a 27 pretty easy.
As long as my grip strength holds, I'll take the 27. It's not as pleasant to shoot, and bucks quite a bit more. But it's doing more downrange and I seem to shoot it just as well as the 26. YMMV.
