I don't quite understand why people will watch someone's video and talk trash. People talk trash about Lenny, Lenny's wife and the pistols he sells and parts he is showing you for free how to install. WOW. I like Lenny's videos and I've learned a few things watching them. Lenny runs a money making business and he's been very successful at it, wish I could say the same thing. 😀
I agree. Just because he supports white nationalists and rubs elbows with neo-nazis from time to time is no reason to hate the man. His videos are great and that's why I watch them.
Identical to his situation in life. My wife and I look just like them and are more and more successful every year. There’s some sick haters in the world. It’s why we carry now.
I am so impressed with Mr. Magill's knowedge and more important his low key approach to explaining and demonstrating his products. Not at all overbearing or hard sell. I have watched several videos and he tells you what works and what doesn't. I don't normally customize my hand guns. I just buy and shoot, but after watching his videos I plan to make some upgrades. I may even go to his Nashville store. It's only 2 hour drive from my house in Tennessee. Thanks Mr. Magill for employeeing Americans to do your work.
Thanks for the great vid's Lenny. Also, thank you for your help when I called in for customer service. Never expected to talk to you, but you and your team are great with all the help and info y'all give.
Lenny you are a great instructor. Your narrative and demonstrative skill is flawless. I'm sure you are the best salesman in the store. Next time I am in San Diego I will visit the store. Cheers!
I conceal carry a 27 as well with tungsten guide rod, Glock night sights , Glock extended slide release and large magazine release. Never had one malfunction with the guide rod and the gun 100% shoots flatter . Love Glock store great web sight.
The thing that sticks out during concealment is the butt end of the grip. Not the barrel. So I would much rather have a 4" G23 barrel with a short G27 grip sacrificing rounds than what he has.
Actually that "gimmick" green dot is a rubber plug. It's beneficial to the hollow point by not allowing it to clog from clothing thus, having less chance of failure to expand and penetrate correctly.
Well thats cool I carry the G27 EDC I have done all the extenal stuff you did I keep the small mags too for when not printing is critical. I have a done the rail change but the rest of the internas are factory
Just recently took some round files to a G27. A trigger guard undercut makes it much more ergonomic and comfortable as does Pearce PG-2733 pinky extensions with the top lip shaved off to stop pinching. Also, a threaded G23 barrel gives 100 more fps to Underwood 200gr Hard Cast. All that, plus a 9/16-24 compensator gives faster follow-up shots against lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my! Woods carry ready!
Your reinforcement of gun safety is appreciated, ego is the biggest enemy of common sense, never feel bad for reminding gun users like myself to be responsible!
That plug in the horneday round is there for a few reasons. The major reason is say it’s winter and you have to shoot. If you’re shooting center mass you’re going to go through a coat, sweatshirt , shirt and who knows. If you hit jean material you’re going to get that material inside the hollow point. Now your hollow point is going to act like ball ammo and it won’t split. Horneday added that filler so once it starts going through stuff the filler will start to make the bullet spread. It’s not just a marketing thing. If I can find the video where they were talking about it I’ll post for reference. They actually show what happens with various loads. I think it may have been an iV8888 video
I absolutely love when someone says it's easier to conceal because it has the shorter barrel. If people would think you would realize the grip is what sticks out when you carry.
I thought I was the only one who thought this way. I couldn't understand why he'd want to use this G23 mag in his G27 when it's the grip is what's causing the gun to print through the shirt. I have a G23 and want to downsize to a G27 for the shorter grip for this reason. It's pointless to just extend it back out with the mag extender sleeve. Lenny is a great guy and all, but I just don't understand this logic.
I buy my g27 because of you sir! Hope i can come to your shop someday and buy accesories for my upgrade and mck gen2. More power god bless and pray for the virus will go away soon!
After 30+ years of carrying a concealed firearm. If come to the conclusion that it’s the grip frame that is the hardest part to conceal, not the slide length.
Lenny I could not agree more. I carry the Glock 27 with all you have installed. I even put the lazer on it . I could not be happier. Thanks for all your input. Oh by the way I purchased everything from The Glock Store.
+Lou Benvignati lol these upgrades are only useful for competition guns. no use for any of it in a carry gun. dumbshit. your gun, your problem I guess.
+Lou Benvignati awwww... are you mad bro? you mad you turned your Glock into a piece of shit? my stock Glock would outshoot that hunk of junk you turned yours into. haha
I thought my 30S might knock my 27 out of my "default carry" spot, but I still carry my 27 the most. I love it. I only change 2 things on a Glock: I install better sights and an extended slide lock lever.
My new EDC is very similar to what Lenny has here. Gen 2.5 (very similar to Gen 3, but with Parkerized finish on slide, and finger grooves on grip without texture) Mine has the pyramid ultimate trigger kit (also included was the factory trigger if I want to go back) Lasermax laser sight guide rod, TruGlo tritium fiber optic sights (tritium is too dim now, need to upgrade) 2 G23 13 round mags w/ xgrip sleeves (love them), 2 9 round mags with Pearce pinky grip (great for super concealment) custom mag release, Talon grip rubber grip, custom extended beaver tail, and a sticky holster. So far, I LOVE ❤️ 🔫😍🥰 this gun! Will decide if I will carry in this configuration after testing with a few hundred rounds.
I don't customize my Glocks. I have 8 of them, and leave them all with the stock configuration from Glock. During years of tactical training, I've seen so many people with Glocks customized with 3rd party parts that jam and malfunction on them. Every one of my Glocks have always performed flawlessly with their stock configurations through 1,000, 2,000, and up to 5,000 rounds of reloads with no jams or malfunctions. Just a little weekly TLC with a cotton cloth and about 6 drops of standard oil.
I've been watching Glockstore videos for a few years now. Lenny shares valuable info. As I was already a 40 cal/357 Sig guy, I decided to buy a Gen 3 Glock 27, knowing that at time, it was Lenny's personal choice for EDC. I'm so disappointed to say, I ordered the grip sleeves Lenny is showing us in this video, and am not even close to being satisfied. There's so much play and wiggle room. It's the Glockstore item # T0364. In watching Lenny describe it, I was thinking it might be an OEM Glock part I didn't know about, because Lenny never mentioned the brand name. Turns out, it's a Pachmayr product. Easy to install, it comes with a hex wrench to tighten the sleeve against the magazine. It turned out to be too noticeably loose - way too much play. I had already ordered an Xgrip sleeve for the other magazine. The Xgrip is practically a seamless perfect fit, with NO play or wiggling in it. My only complaint about the Xgrip, is the exact reason I wanted to try Lenny's grip. The bottom finger groove is comfortable, but I wanted to have it flat where my pinky finger goes, if possible. I hope the Glockstore will accept a return and refund my money, on the premise that I"m unhappy with the product's performance. We will find out this weekend.
Great video. The barrel length within reason isn't really much of a factor in concealed carry. If gonna use an extension why not go Glock 23? The 27 in some hands is perfect because your little finger fits so perfectly underneath the grip. They make a near perfect holster the BORAII for many compact and subcompact pistols. BORAII stands for Bill Of Rights Amendment 2. Safe front pocket or back pocket of Levi's jeans carry is possible with their holster.
I thought of doing this with a Glock 29 and putting a comp on it so it’s in the compact size group (since Glock doesn’t have a compact 10mm). I feel like I can carry my 20 just fine though.
Good video...I've ordered a sight pusher, tru-glo tritium fiber optic sights, stainless slide spring and a back plate from Lenny's store and have never had to wait more than a week for any of the products to arrive. Just saying!
I just recently purchased a Glock 27. I cant wait to have it in my hands. Gonna register it for my CCW and make it my every day carry. Edit: just dros my glock.
Lenny is a helluva salesman. He slips up once in awhile though. Here, when he was describing the grip/mag setup, he said he's using the "13 round Glock 23 setup..." That's a 10 round mag, not 13. If he was using the G22 Mag, (which is also doable) it would be 13. The G22 setup on a G27 is a little too long for most ppl's hands, , but Xgrip does make the grip for that. G23 to G27 Xgrip is a good setup. LOVE the internals on Lenny's EDC G27 though. And the chrome package.
@@bigfuq21 There are factory 10 rd magazines for the G23. www.natchezss.com/glock-factory-original-glock-23-magazine-40-s-w-black-polymer-10-rd-pkg-d.html
I have been told by a legal defense lawyer that if I ever have to use my carry gun against someone that it would be totally stripped apart by the police to inspect it and that the defense council would say that I modified the weapon with the intent to kill , of course this is all just advice being given to me , I have NEVER hurt anyone and have NO plans on hurting anyone . What are your thoughts on this theory ??
Who is your "legal defense lawyer", this is folk lore. Please cite a case where an otherwise legal modification has caused someone to be charged in an otherwise justified shooting.
Massad Ayoob is one of the best authorities on this planet about all things firearm. He has written several articles on this subject in particular. He advises not to make certain modifications on whatever firearm we carry for defence and lightening the trigger pull is close to the top of the list. Not because our wonder criminal justice system will file ''extra'' charges on you but because it will make your legal defence more difficult than if you had not made the mod. At the distances applicable for a defensive shot, will the mod make a ''life or death'' difference? For me, no. For you? Only you can answer that question. But let's just deal with reality for a moment. Once you've survived the most important decision you'll ever make in your life, to take the life of, or critically injure, another person by employing your personal firearm or other weapon in self defence, this ordeal may only be beginning for you. Northern/North Eastern states tend to have a much different attitude towards these issues & situations than do Southern/South Western states.(EX-cluding Californiflake) Depending on where you live, or where the incident happens, it may be an ''open & shut'' case. Then again,it may not. Here lately we've clearly seen that, depending on what color skin those involved are packaged in, it may quickly turn into an endless nightmare. A white shooter, whether justified or not, could wake the next morning to find himself convicted in the ''court of Public Opinion'', complete with death threats to the point of having to go into hiding with his family because the kids are even being threatened at school. Right or wrong, we've all seen it happen, pretending it hasn't doesn't change the truth, the reality of these ass-backwards times we're livin' in. True it is changing, slowly. But the time to ''make a social statement'', or to,''take a stand against the media's bias towards lawful self defence with a firearm'' is sure as hell NOT at a trial that will decide your fate, and that of your family. Why complicate issues that so many uninformed people have a hard time comprehending on their best day, the same people who may just end up on ''Jury Duty''. Personally, I have enough faith in my skill with any firearm, that such simple mod's are not necessary for me to successfully make the short range shot that saved my life. After surviving that, I'll NOT sit in a courtroom and risk my life on some lawyer's ability to counter the propaganda/misinformation or the political spin of some gun-hating DA convincing a jury that I'm the ''Racist Redneck,out lookin' to murder anyone with different color skin than me'' with my Super-Duper Modified Zombie-Killin' pistol, with a trigger-pull so light that it ''goes off'' all by itself, even if/when I don't want it to, or my Special Warp-Speed, Hand Loaded Holler' Points that makes 'em holler' be-fore it even hits 'em. What I WILL do, is what I've already done several years ago, my own homework on this most critical subject. I'd advise you to do the same, starting with Massad Ayoob. I know, his name is kinda funny. But once you read his credentials and accomplishments in this field, he will have from you what he deserves. Your undivided attention. And you from he, a great deal more knowledge simply from reading his work. Safe Shooting.
You either had to kill the guy or you didn't. There's no grey area on this subject. We don't kill over property. We only kill when our life is in jeopardy of being ended by a suspect. This is also the case when defending others. If the man needed killin it doesn't really matter what you used unless the weapon used is specifically banned and even then if the guy needed killin they're not really going to look into that. I wouldn't go shooting someone over a fist fight or road incident either. Only when your life is in direct danger with a suspect that has the MEANS and opportunity.
"Im going to leave this loaded magazine here on the table, I will not touch it for the rest of the video" *Five minutes later* "Let me show you the bullets in my magazine"
Lenny’s a 1st Rate Guy!!! His wife is awesome too! Haters always hate! Where there’s friction there is progress! Lenny’s succeeded and people are just Jealous!!!
I love my Glock 27. I will post a video for everyone soon. I couldn't help but modify my Glock 27 with all the awesome accessories out there. I have a TruGlo TFX sight, Talon rubberized grip, and Pearce magazine extension for both of my stock mags. It's hard to beat a Glock 27 for a CCW... why? because you can change out the barrel and have a 357 sig or a 9mm in less than 30 seconds. Also .40 has proven ballistic performance over the 9mm. We can argue all day about follow up shots.. but when you are only carrying 10 rounds in a communist state like California.. I will take 10 rounds of .40 JHP over 10 rounds of 9mm JHP. The proof is in the pudding.. .40 has ballistic properties that could be perceived as better than a .45 ACP especially with hollow points.
Why people always hating on glocks you got lenny who show you free tutorials he is precise on how to do it and and always suprsises you with something plus my 27 with the 23 clips is my go 2 too
I keep loaded magazines on my work-bench when I disassemble, clean, and lubricate my Glocks. When I’m done, I perform the basic function tests; trigger, reset and safety check. Then I rack 4 to 5 rounds through the slide to make sure the cartridges feed and eject properly. You might think, “Well that’s just not safe having life ammunition on your bench.” Well … one day I repeatedly racked live cartridges after cleaning, and the slide wouldn’t release and jammed rounds over and over. After a quick disassembly and re-inspection, I discovered the slide release spring had lost tension after repeated cleanings. I bent the spring back up for proper tension, and my Glock worked perfectly during function testing and on the range. Imagine what would have happened had I assumed my Glock was working properly without having live ammunition on my bench, and encountered a self-defense situation. I would have gotten one shot off, the slide would have locked back … and I’d be dead. Summin to think about. It happened on my bench, and I never anticipated the technical problem until I encountered it.
This is a valid point but there is still no reason the rounds have to be live in order to diagnose this type of failure. A few snap caps would give you the same info without the possibility of an accidental discharge.
I diagnose and function test my Glocks, assault rifles, pump shotguns, semi-automatic shotguns, and revolvers with the live ammunition I carry on my work bench. Snap-caps are junk and are for amateurs. Throw em in the trash. I'm not going to walk out on the street confident that Snap-caps fed properly through my weapons. I walk out knowing my live ammunition works.
Robert Barron You're definitely entitled to use whatever system works for you, but there is no reason for any ad-hominem attacks for those that don't follow your system to the 'T'. For all intents and purposes to diagnose a FTF, there should be no difference in live ammo vs quality snap caps made to SAAMI specs. To say they are 'junk and for amateurs' is short sighted to say the least
Robert Barron and i think everyone gets that you dont customize your glocks. your many posts on this thread that you dont modify any of your 8 glocks well informs us. good for you.
dhl671 No I don't customize my Glocks. They work fine out of the box from solid engineering by Glock. I've seen people at the range, time and time again, who put 3rd party products into their Glocks, only to watch them jam and malfunction on them.
It's been almost eight years since this video. Has Lenny updated his carry pistol? Like maybe going with the slimline Glocks like the 43X or 48 that he talks so highly about in later videos?
@Do You Even Operate, Bro? Most of the time, you don't really need a gun anyway. He sells custom parts for guns, I mean... You gotta give him credit xD
Keep everything stock on the Glocks..If you want to change sights that's fine or put Talon grips on it..But when you start changen triggers and springs your asking for trouble..
I own several glocks. In my Glock 23 I can only load 12 rounds. Magazine is advertised to hold 13. Tried several mags and all will only hold 12. Thought about get the Glock 27 but worried I might have same problem of only being able to load 8 instead of the 9 rounds it says it will hold. A buddy of mine has the Glock 22 and he also has to load one less than advertised. My other caliber glocks hold what they are supposed to hold. Thoughts?
A 3 to 3.5 pound trigger pull is perfect for concealed carry? I'd like to see how many professional trainers--people whose day job is to teach weapons handling--agree with that statement.
I was always taught you should practice with the ammo you carry. Different bullets act different! I don't see a problem running 100-200 ball ammo but you should run a box or two at least of your carry ammo.
Andy Stewart in 7 to 12 yards there is no difference. Maybe in 100 yards you will see a difference. But, for self defense it won't matter. If you are shooting people at a range that the trajectory would be that different, the court will ask why you thought that person was a threat.
I own a Gen 4 G27 which I CCW. I got some Double Tap ammo that's not rated +p. But it states hotter then normal. Is the Gen 4 G27 suitable for hotter ammo?
I've practiced many of times of drawing and reholstering with an unloaded pistol. I've never pulled the trigger. The key is to get a good quality holster. me personally I'd never carry a weapon just inside my pants/shorts without a holster. it can throw the weapon placement off, slide up/down. And then you have to reposition the sidearm.. and that will draw attention. I hoped that helped ya. and another thing. always draw the weapon repeatedly in the same exact place you plan to carry to develop muscle memory. that's very important as well.
Hey Lenny, Your Video's are great and very helpful. Please tell me how/where to purchase the Wooden box punch set and brass hammer you use in the videos. Desperate for quality tools and equipment.ASAP
I love mine correct just leave it alone..lol...I did want color the words on my GLOCK like the ghost sight....I did put the Large grip on my handle and Pearce grip on my mag which improves accuracy.
How will a custom or non factory trigger effect you in court should you have to use your firearm in self defense? It is my main concern before modifying my 26's trigger.
If the man really needed killing it doesn't make a damn what you used to stop a threat that had the means and opportunity to end your life. This doesn't mean shoot someone who punches you or steals you television. There's no grey area in the matter.
Nope not scared to improve a trigger on a firearm in fact I have done it to several of my firearms. You are the moron that doesn't consider a gun hating lawyer sitting in court that wants to call your improved trigger a "hair trigger" and put you in jail. You have bored me with your stupidity have a good life sir. Enjoy your mother's basement. I will be sticking to the factory trigger on my carry firearm and altered triggers on my fun guns.
lenny just comes off as a really good dude. its nice when seemingly nice people are successful
I agree and thats why I do business with glockstore.com.
I don't quite understand why people will watch someone's video and talk trash. People talk trash about Lenny, Lenny's wife and the pistols he sells and parts he is showing you for free how to install. WOW. I like Lenny's videos and I've learned a few things watching them.

Esteban Playa hell I don’t own a Glock and I watch his videos. Lol.
I love these videos.
People are jealous pricks...fuck the haters, these vids are awesome
I agree. Just because he supports white nationalists and rubs elbows with neo-nazis from time to time is no reason to hate the man. His videos are great and that's why I watch them.

Lenny is a great teacher who stresses safety. I would love to take one of his courses. His correct grip videos are best out there. Thanks Sir!
Thanks for the great vid's Lenny. Also, thank you for your help when I called in for customer service. Never expected to talk to you, but you and your team are great with all the help and info y'all give.
Amazing teacher and his videos are always filled with great advice and information!
Lenny you are a great instructor. Your narrative and demonstrative skill is flawless. I'm sure you are the best salesman in the store. Next time I am in San Diego I will visit the store. Cheers!
Thanks for the video Lenny always a pleasure to watch
Good enough for Lenny, good enough for ME :) Had my GLOCK 27 for about 3 weeks now
I have always heard the light trigger pull could get you in trouble. But the 27 does make a good carry. I like the 30 and Kahr too.
He said it was a “crisper” trigger pull....Just wondering how much a difference in weight there is?
I carry the Glock 27, I have a 2 round mag extension on mine. But I like the idea of using a G23 magazine.
I conceal carry a 27 as well with tungsten guide rod, Glock night sights , Glock extended slide release and large magazine release. Never had one malfunction with the guide rod and the gun 100% shoots flatter . Love Glock store great web sight.
What guide rod
Really appreciate Lennys videos. Thank you sir. Love glock. Gotta coup,e of the battle worn models.
that was a ingenious way to mix better concealment with more capacity plus deadly 13, 40 Cal bullets love it.
Errick Morring I know right dude? Most likely gonna do that with my glock 27
The thing that sticks out during concealment is the butt end of the grip. Not the barrel.
So I would much rather have a 4" G23 barrel with a short G27 grip sacrificing rounds than what he has.
Cletus Kasady I agree with you.
Actually that "gimmick" green dot is a rubber plug. It's beneficial to the hollow point by not allowing it to clog from clothing thus, having less chance of failure to expand and penetrate correctly.
Lenny, you are "THE MAN". I love this video...
You have already sold me! But now I have to drive to Tennessee to see you! Thanks!!!
Well thats cool I carry the G27 EDC I have done all the extenal stuff you did I keep the small mags too for when not printing is critical. I have a done the rail change but the rest of the internas are factory
Just recently took some round files to a G27. A trigger guard undercut makes it much more ergonomic and comfortable as does Pearce PG-2733 pinky extensions with the top lip shaved off to stop pinching. Also, a threaded G23 barrel gives 100 more fps to Underwood 200gr Hard Cast. All that, plus a 9/16-24 compensator gives faster follow-up shots against lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my! Woods carry ready!
I actually do recommend the 30 Dollar holster. I carry my Glock 27 in that holster and it has worked the best for me
Weird. I've had mine about 7 years and it's almost identical. Polished barrel and different magazine but still extended grip. Great little shooter.
Your reinforcement of gun safety is appreciated, ego is the biggest enemy of common sense, never feel bad for reminding gun users like myself to be responsible!
That plug in the horneday round is there for a few reasons. The major reason is say it’s winter and you have to shoot. If you’re shooting center mass you’re going to go through a coat, sweatshirt , shirt and who knows. If you hit jean material you’re going to get that material inside the hollow point. Now your hollow point is going to act like ball ammo and it won’t split.
Horneday added that filler so once it starts going through stuff the filler will start to make the bullet spread. It’s not just a marketing thing. If I can find the video where they were talking about it I’ll post for reference. They actually show what happens with various loads.
I think it may have been an iV8888 video
I absolutely love when someone says it's easier to conceal because it has the shorter barrel. If people would think you would realize the grip is what sticks out when you carry.
The longer barrel can jab someone and make it harder to move around, or sit down. The grip will cause a bulge no matter how big or small.
I thought I was the only one who thought this way. I couldn't understand why he'd want to use this G23 mag in his G27 when it's the grip is what's causing the gun to print through the shirt. I have a G23 and want to downsize to a G27 for the shorter grip for this reason. It's pointless to just extend it back out with the mag extender sleeve.
Lenny is a great guy and all, but I just don't understand this logic.
I buy my g27 because of you sir! Hope i can come to your shop someday and buy accesories for my upgrade and mck gen2. More power god bless and pray for the virus will go away soon!
After 30+ years of carrying a concealed firearm. If come to the conclusion that it’s the grip frame that is the hardest part to conceal, not the slide length.
(Charlie & Snoopy)That magazine is from his 23 so it's just bigger to fit in the 23 but it has a block inside it that still only allows 10 rds.
Lenny I could not agree more. I carry the Glock 27 with all you have installed. I even put the lazer on it . I could not be happier. Thanks for all your input. Oh by the way I purchased everything from The Glock Store.
Lol you are an idiot.

+Lou Benvignati Lou Benvignati aka Mr. Tacticool dude bro
Lenny uses the exact same vise and site pusher as I do, I feel more confident now
I thought my 30S might knock my 27 out of my "default carry" spot, but I still carry my 27 the most. I love it. I only change 2 things on a Glock: I install better sights and an extended slide lock lever.

What brand ammo? I only hear of issues with ammo and not the glock itself. Talking about a stock Glock
Robert Barron …He’s using Glock parts!……
Yessss
Admit guys Lenny's living the dream!
Concealed carry or duty firearms should be left stock or with factory replacement parts, especially internals.
feldwebel5 nahh it’s a Glock you hi point puss
I like Mr Magill videos very educational for c glock owners how ever I have trouble navigating the glock store

You screwed up when you purchased the gen3 over the gen 5
I think the grip is harder to conceal than the barrel. It doesn't really matter how long the barrel is. Might as well just get a 23.
Kudos for your .40 pride!
That beaver tail adaptor is sick!!!
Great video. The barrel length within reason isn't really much of a factor in concealed carry. If gonna use an extension why not go Glock 23? The 27 in some hands is perfect because your little finger fits so perfectly underneath the grip. They make a near perfect holster the BORAII for many compact and subcompact pistols. BORAII stands for Bill Of Rights Amendment 2. Safe front pocket or back pocket of Levi's jeans carry is possible with their holster.
I like the glockstore its kool 😎 🙏🔥
I thought of doing this with a Glock 29 and putting a comp on it so it’s in the compact size group (since Glock doesn’t have a compact 10mm). I feel like I can carry my 20 just fine though.
This is really how they should come out of the box.
Good video...I've ordered a sight pusher, tru-glo tritium fiber optic sights, stainless slide spring and a back plate from Lenny's store and have never had to wait more than a week for any of the products to arrive. Just saying!
Sweet looking Glock! Now I kinda wanna do the same to my 26! Lol.
I have a g27 gen 3 and can't find a Beaver Tail Grip anywhere! only see them for Gen 4 and 5.
I just recently purchased a Glock 27. I cant wait to have it in my hands. Gonna register it for my CCW and make it my every day carry.
Edit: just dros my glock.
My personal carry gun also! Thanks for the video!
Why not just carry the 23. The hardest part to conceal is the handle not the slide.
Literally have the same EDC🔥🔥💪🏼
Lenny is a helluva salesman. He slips up once in awhile though. Here, when he was describing the grip/mag setup, he said he's using the "13 round Glock 23 setup..." That's a 10 round mag, not 13. If he was using the G22 Mag, (which is also doable) it would be 13. The G22 setup on a G27 is a little too long for most ppl's hands, , but Xgrip does make the grip for that. G23 to G27 Xgrip is a good setup. LOVE the internals on Lenny's EDC G27 though. And the chrome package.
The g23 is 13rnds the g22 is 15rnds
@@bigfuq21 There are factory 10 rd magazines for the G23. www.natchezss.com/glock-factory-original-glock-23-magazine-40-s-w-black-polymer-10-rd-pkg-d.html
I have been told by a legal defense lawyer that if I ever have to use my carry gun against someone that it would be totally stripped apart by the police to inspect it and that the defense council would say that I modified the weapon with the intent to kill , of course this is all just advice being given to me , I have NEVER hurt anyone and have NO plans on hurting anyone .
What are your thoughts on this theory ??
Who is your "legal defense lawyer", this is folk lore. Please cite a case where an otherwise legal modification has caused someone to be charged in an otherwise justified shooting.
Massad Ayoob is one of the best authorities on this planet about all things firearm. He has written several articles on this subject in particular. He advises not to make certain modifications on whatever firearm we carry for defence and lightening the trigger pull is close to the top of the list. Not because our wonder criminal justice system will file ''extra'' charges on you but because it will make your legal defence more difficult than if you had not made the mod. At the distances applicable for a defensive shot, will the mod make a ''life or death'' difference? For me, no. For you? Only you can answer that question.
But let's just deal with reality for a moment. Once you've survived the most important decision you'll ever make in your life, to take the life of, or critically injure, another person by employing your personal firearm or other weapon in self defence, this ordeal may only be beginning for you. Northern/North Eastern states tend to have a much different attitude towards these issues & situations than do Southern/South Western states.(EX-cluding Californiflake) Depending on where you live, or where the incident happens, it may be an ''open & shut'' case. Then again,it may not. Here lately we've clearly seen that, depending on what color skin those involved are packaged in, it may quickly turn into an endless nightmare. A white shooter, whether justified or not, could wake the next morning to find himself convicted in the ''court of Public Opinion'', complete with death threats to the point of having to go into hiding with his family because the kids are even being threatened at school. Right or wrong, we've all seen it happen, pretending it hasn't doesn't change the truth, the reality of these ass-backwards times we're livin' in. True it is changing, slowly.
But the time to ''make a social statement'', or to,''take a stand against the media's bias towards lawful self defence with a firearm'' is sure as hell NOT at a trial that will decide your fate, and that of your family. Why complicate issues that so many uninformed people have a hard time comprehending on their best day, the same people who may just end up on ''Jury Duty''. Personally, I have enough faith in my skill with any firearm, that such simple mod's are not necessary for me to successfully make the short range shot that saved my life. After surviving that, I'll NOT sit in a courtroom and risk my life on some lawyer's ability to counter the propaganda/misinformation or the political spin of some gun-hating DA convincing a jury that I'm the ''Racist Redneck,out lookin' to murder anyone with different color skin than me'' with my Super-Duper Modified Zombie-Killin' pistol, with a trigger-pull so light that it ''goes off'' all by itself, even if/when I don't want it to, or my Special Warp-Speed, Hand Loaded Holler' Points that makes 'em holler' be-fore it even hits 'em.
What I WILL do, is what I've already done several years ago, my own homework on this most critical subject. I'd advise you to do the same, starting with Massad Ayoob. I know, his name is kinda funny. But once you read his credentials and accomplishments in this field, he will have from you what he deserves. Your undivided attention. And you from he, a great deal more knowledge simply from reading his work.
Safe Shooting.
You either had to kill the guy or you didn't. There's no grey area on this subject. We don't kill over property. We only kill when our life is in jeopardy of being ended by a suspect. This is also the case when defending others. If the man needed killin it doesn't really matter what you used unless the weapon used is specifically banned and even then if the guy needed killin they're not really going to look into that. I wouldn't go shooting someone over a fist fight or road incident either. Only when your life is in direct danger with a suspect that has the MEANS and opportunity.
Agree 100 pct. Have been told that by LE as well as local Lawyer that is USCCA
"Im going to leave this loaded magazine here on the table, I will not touch it for the rest of the video"
*Five minutes later*
"Let me show you the bullets in my magazine"
Lmao!!!
Lol
I wish could like this twice!😭😭
🤣🤣
Bahahahah
This guy is the Bob Ross of handguns.
Lenny’s a 1st Rate Guy!!! His wife is awesome too! Haters always hate! Where there’s friction there is progress! Lenny’s succeeded and people are just Jealous!!!
Sir, that thing is SICK
I love my Glock 27. I will post a video for everyone soon. I couldn't help but modify my Glock 27 with all the awesome accessories out there. I have a TruGlo TFX sight, Talon rubberized grip, and Pearce magazine extension for both of my stock mags. It's hard to beat a Glock 27 for a CCW... why? because you can change out the barrel and have a 357 sig or a 9mm in less than 30 seconds. Also .40 has proven ballistic performance over the 9mm. We can argue all day about follow up shots.. but when you are only carrying 10 rounds in a communist state like California.. I will take 10 rounds of .40 JHP over 10 rounds of 9mm JHP. The proof is in the pudding.. .40 has ballistic properties that could be perceived as better than a .45 ACP especially with hollow points.
Question Lenny,
What are your thoughts on “ bullet setback”? Rechambering the same round. Just curious...
Thanks
Why people always hating on glocks you got lenny who show you free tutorials he is precise on how to do it and and always suprsises you with something plus my 27 with the 23 clips is my go 2 too
I keep loaded magazines on my work-bench when I disassemble, clean, and lubricate my Glocks. When I’m done, I perform the basic function tests; trigger, reset and safety check. Then I rack 4 to 5 rounds through the slide to make sure the cartridges feed and eject properly. You might think, “Well that’s just not safe having life ammunition on your bench.” Well … one day I repeatedly racked live cartridges after cleaning, and the slide wouldn’t release and jammed rounds over and over. After a quick disassembly and re-inspection, I discovered the slide release spring had lost tension after repeated cleanings. I bent the spring back up for proper tension, and my Glock worked perfectly during function testing and on the range. Imagine what would have happened had I assumed my Glock was working properly without having live ammunition on my bench, and encountered a self-defense situation. I would have gotten one shot off, the slide would have locked back … and I’d be dead. Summin to think about. It happened on my bench, and I never anticipated the technical problem until I encountered it.
This is a valid point but there is still no reason the rounds have to be live in order to diagnose this type of failure. A few snap caps would give you the same info without the possibility of an accidental discharge.
I diagnose and function test my Glocks, assault rifles, pump shotguns, semi-automatic shotguns, and revolvers with the live ammunition I carry on my work bench. Snap-caps are junk and are for amateurs. Throw em in the trash. I'm not going to walk out on the street confident that Snap-caps fed properly through my weapons. I walk out knowing my live ammunition works.
Robert Barron
You're definitely entitled to use whatever system works for you, but there is no reason for any ad-hominem attacks for those that don't follow your system to the 'T'. For all intents and purposes to diagnose a FTF, there should be no difference in live ammo vs quality snap caps made to SAAMI specs. To say they are 'junk and for amateurs' is short sighted to say the least
Robert Barron and i think everyone gets that you dont customize your glocks. your many posts on this thread that you dont modify any of your 8 glocks well informs us. good for you.
dhl671 No I don't customize my Glocks. They work fine out of the box from solid engineering by Glock. I've seen people at the range, time and time again, who put 3rd party products into their Glocks, only to watch them jam and malfunction on them.
It's been almost eight years since this video. Has Lenny updated his carry pistol? Like maybe going with the slimline Glocks like the 43X or 48 that he talks so highly about in later videos?
@@deangary15 "Have you watched any of his more recent videos?"
Should be quite apparent from my post that I have not.
From 6:08 to 6:15
That's class right there. He's not gonna sell you mirrors.
@Do You Even Operate, Bro? Most of the time, you don't really need a gun anyway.
He sells custom parts for guns, I mean... You gotta give him credit xD
Keep everything stock on the Glocks..If you want to change sights that's fine or put Talon grips on it..But when you start changen triggers and springs your asking for trouble..
In what universe does California let you use a 13-round magazine?
Freedom week
Very nice gun,specially with the beaver tail!
I see the appeal of the flock is that they are highly customizable.
I have been waiting for 3-weeks for a magazine and the order hasn't been even shipped or completed ..... That will be my first and last purchase.....
Hello Lenin. I want to buy a new tungsten guide rod for my glock 27 hen 3. Which one you recommend 16, 18 or 20 pounds spring weight
I own several glocks. In my Glock 23 I can only load 12 rounds. Magazine is advertised to hold 13. Tried several mags and all will only hold 12. Thought about get the Glock 27 but worried I might have same problem of only being able to load 8 instead of the 9 rounds it says it will hold. A buddy of mine has the Glock 22 and he also has to load one less than advertised. My other caliber glocks hold what they are supposed to hold. Thoughts?
Is the tungsten guide rod offered in black?
A 3 to 3.5 pound trigger pull is perfect for concealed carry? I'd like to see how many professional trainers--people whose day job is to teach weapons handling--agree with that statement.
Lenny...exactly where do you conceal carry....in Arizona? Because where you live in San Diego County they don't issue CCW permits.
I was always taught you should practice with the ammo you carry. Different bullets act different! I don't see a problem running 100-200 ball ammo but you should run a box or two at least of your carry ammo.
Andy Stewart in 7 to 12 yards there is no difference. Maybe in 100 yards you will see a difference. But, for self defense it won't matter. If you are shooting people at a range that the trajectory would be that different, the court will ask why you thought that person was a threat.
Andy Stewart also ball ammo will pass threw a person and keep going accidentally injuring others. hollow points hit expand and stop.
darkhalfcustoms that makes sense. I suppose shooting the hollow points you carry is more for making sure your gun eats that ammo well.
i LOLd when he took the slide off and saw the internals
I own a Gen 4 G27 which I CCW. I got some Double Tap ammo that's not rated +p. But it states hotter then normal. Is the Gen 4 G27 suitable for hotter ammo?
Since ur major gun retailer are u aloud to have the hi cap mags cuz Cali limit is 10
How is the custom stippling compared to the falcon grips on your competition gun?
Why isn't more popular?
Everytime I watch a lenny video I want to add upgrades to my Glocks
Don’t
My main question was where on your belt line do you carry it. I was disappointed you didn't say. Is it the typical 4:00 position, or appendix?
I believe in practicing with Rounds that one will use for self defense.
Do you have any concerns with holstering the loaded and chambered 27 into the concealment shorts without possibly brushing the trigger?
I've practiced many of times of drawing and reholstering with an unloaded pistol. I've never pulled the trigger. The key is to get a good quality holster. me personally I'd never carry a weapon just inside my pants/shorts without a holster. it can throw the weapon placement off, slide up/down. And then you have to reposition the sidearm.. and that will draw attention. I hoped that helped ya. and another thing. always draw the weapon repeatedly in the same exact place you plan to carry to develop muscle memory. that's very important as well.
Hey Lenny, Your Video's are great and very helpful. Please tell me how/where to purchase the Wooden box punch set and brass hammer you use in the videos. Desperate for quality tools and equipment.ASAP
Jack Smith Are they not available on the GlockStore website?
Thanks I found one. Happy Thanksgiving
Does anyone know the spring resistance weight on the Tungsten coil spring?? of the difference between the factory 16lb (factory)
and a 20 lb?
I was thinking the exact same thing, he said it’s a crisper trigger pull.... but how much Lighter in weight?
Leave the Glock stock. Talon grips and Trijicon HD sights are the only upgrades you need if anything. Just my opinion as a g23 and g27 owner
I wish I could talk like Lenny.
I love the videos
You make good video's. Keep it up.
Lenny what made you lean towards the 27 ...vs the 26 ?.... thx
he likes the .40 more than 9mm
How did you manage to get a concealed permit in California? I thought they were"un-obtainium".
What spring weight do you use on tungsten guide rod???
Thanks for the tips
Another video warns that the slit ramp on Glock is in danger of hanging up on Hollo Point ammo??????
That G27 has 13 rounds in it. Isn’t the magazine capacity limit in California only 10 rounds???
Why carry a Glock 27 if you're just going to extend the grip to the size of a Glock 23?
Ik right, usually people who can't shoot and dont realize the pinky is worthless
It’s just personal preference
Ha!! He's got every upgrade imaginable on this Gun. Lol....too funny.
Sean Vine Standard Glock barrel, other than that it has been leveled up. LOL
+Sean Vine Glocks with all the aftermarket stuff never are reliable. Seen it 1,000 times.
I love mine correct just leave it alone..lol...I did want color the words on my GLOCK like the ghost sight....I did put the Large grip on my handle and Pearce grip on my mag which improves accuracy.
How will a custom or non factory trigger effect you in court should you have to use your firearm in self defense? It is my main concern before modifying my 26's trigger.
"Your Honor, my gun was modified to increase accuracy as a way to minimize risk to bystanders."
If the man really needed killing it doesn't make a damn what you used to stop a threat that had the means and opportunity to end your life. This doesn't mean shoot someone who punches you or steals you television. There's no grey area in the matter.
dont be sooo damn paranoid about going to court for defending yourself. Geez!! like a good trigger is gonna make a difference.
Bob johnson alright I will try to educate the troll just once www.gundigest.com/gun-blogs/books/handloads-not-a-good-idea-for-concealed-carry
Nope not scared to improve a trigger on a firearm in fact I have done it to several of my firearms. You are the moron that doesn't consider a gun hating lawyer sitting in court that wants to call your improved trigger a "hair trigger" and put you in jail. You have bored me with your stupidity have a good life sir. Enjoy your mother's basement. I will be sticking to the factory trigger on my carry firearm and altered triggers on my fun guns.
