Frequently Asked Questions
Are these truly new in box?
Yes, these are new in original Glock packaging with all paperwork and accessories. They were acquired through police trade-in programs but were never issued or fired beyond factory testing.
What’s included with purchase?
Each comes with two 9-round magazines, cable lock, cleaning rod, brush, manual, and factory case. Some may include original purchase paperwork.
How does the Gen4 differ from Gen3?
The Gen4 features a dual recoil spring, modular backstraps, RTF texture, and enlarged mag release. The recoil system makes the .40 S&W more manageable.
What’s the barrel length?
The Glock 27 Gen4 has a 3.46″ barrel – compact enough for concealed carry while maintaining ballistic effectiveness with .40 S&W.

As a Kansas-licensed FFL since 2008, I’ve handled hundreds of police trade-ins. These Glock 27 Gen4s represent exceptional value – you’re getting a like-new duty pistol at nearly $100 below retail. The .40 S&W makes an excellent defensive round, and the Gen4 improvements make it more shootable than previous generations.
