Looking for information on baby Glocks? You have come to the right place! Police Equipment Reviews shoots one of the baby Glocks very often and has some great information on them.
Typically when people speak of baby Glocks, they are talking about the Glock 26 or Glock 27 handguns. The reason these are called baby Glocks are because they are sub compact Glock guns. The Glock 26 is a Glock 9mm handgun while the Glock 27 is a Glock 40 handgun.
The Glock 26 has been considered a baby Glock since it’s release in the mid 90’s. It is the sub compact Glock gun for their 9mm series. The full size Glock 9mm is the Glock 17. The Glock 26 is perfect for officers that want a 9mm back up gun that is very reliable.
The Glock 27 is the baby Glock of Glock 40 guns. The full size Glock 40 is the Glock 22. The Glock 27 is what Police Equipment Reviews carries daily at work and we love it! It is very reliable and accurate. While there may be smaller and lighter backup guns, the Glock 27 is the best in our mind. We have carried smaller guns in the past, but have not had confidence in their stopping power. With the Glock 27, that is not true. We know that should we have to fire this Glock 40, that it will stop the threat.
Both of the baby Glocks, the Glock 26 and Glock 27 have many holsters for them. We like the Aker holsters and Fobus holsters for normal wear. As far as having the best ankle holster, DeSantis makes a good one that is called the DeSantis Die Hard ankle holster. It is very comfortable and fits the Glock 27 well.
