Glock G27 Gen 2.5 .40 S&W Sub-Compact Semi-Automatic Pistol – Early U.S. Import
This early production Glock 27 Gen 2.5 offers the sought-after blend of finger-groove ergonomics and a rail-free frame, reflecting the transitional era of late-1990s Glock design. Chambered in .40 S&W with a 3.43-inch barrel, it retains the original Tenifer matte-black finish and carries the “US” serial suffix denoting its first-run import status. Compact dimensions, sturdy construction, and compatibility with larger Glock magazines make this pistol a practical choice for concealed carry or collection.

The Gen 2.5 frame combines early Glock texture with added finger grooves, providing a secure hold without the accessory rail found on later generations. This configuration is prized by shooters who prefer a slimmer dust cover for holster compatibility.
The Tenifer ferritic nitrocarburized finish delivers outstanding corrosion resistance, while the steel slide features rear serrations for straightforward manipulation. Inside, the 3.43-inch barrel uses Glock’s proven polygonal rifling for long service life and reliable accuracy.
Despite its sub-compact size, the G27 offers a 9+1 onboard capacity and can accept higher-capacity G23 and G22 magazines, giving the user flexible reload options. A simple barrel swap also allows conversion to .357 SIG, adding caliber versatility without additional modifications.
The striker-fired action employs Glock’s 5.5-lb trigger with a central safety blade. Fixed polymer sights—white-dot front and white-outline notch rear—deliver an uncluttered sight picture suitable for defensive distances.
