Glock publishes no launch press release for the G27 Gen5 — every live release was checked on 2026-08-12, and the only one naming the model, SHOT Show 2025, lists "G27 Gen4/Gen5" in a GLOCK Performance Trigger compatibility table rather than announcing a launch — so year introduced is unrecorded, as on the G22 and G23 Gen5 records. Glock's own overview adds a compatibility warning: the slide width of the .40 S&W Gen5 models is slightly larger than the previous generation, which it says to consider when choosing a holster. The owner's manual spec table (p. 56) was cross-checked on 2026-08-12 and matches the product page on every dimension.

Verification boundary: Published technical data are rounded, may not reflect manufacturing tolerances, and may change without notice. MSRP is not recorded: most cited product pages do publish a price, but it changes without notice and independently of the specification, so this directory has no field for it and the row stays blank rather than carrying a figure that would silently go stale. Values marked ≈ were converted by this directory from the unit system the source published; the unmarked figure in the same row is the published one.
Evidence tiers backing this record: Manufacturer. Unmarked values come from manufacturer documentation; any value drawn from a lower tier is labeled inline with that tier. Where two sources disagreed, the higher tier was recorded and the disagreement noted.

Common questions

Answered from this record's cited fields only. Where a manufacturer publishes nothing on a subject, the question is not asked rather than answered with a blank.

01What caliber is the Glock G27 Gen 5?

The Glock G27 Gen 5 is chambered in .40 S&W. Ammunition should match the exact chambering marked on the firearm.

02How many rounds does the Glock G27 Gen 5 hold?

Glock lists a 9-round standard magazine for the G27 Gen 5. Glock also lists 13-round capacity as optional. These are magazine capacities; a round carried in the chamber is not counted here.

Glock lists a barrel length of 87 mm / 3.43 in.

04What are the dimensions of the Glock G27 Gen 5?

Glock publishes 163 × 33 × 107 mm / 6.42 × 1.3 × 4.21 in (height: including magazine). Any measurement basis shown is the manufacturer's own qualifier; where none is shown, the manufacturer states none.

05How much does the Glock G27 Gen 5 weigh?

Glock publishes 621 g / 21.91 oz without a magazine; 676 g / 23.85 oz with an empty magazine fitted. These are different measurement conditions and are not interchangeable.

06What size class is the Glock G27 Gen 5?

Glock lists the G27 Gen 5 as Subcompact, and this directory records the same class.

07Is the Glock G27 Gen 5 striker-fired?

Glock publishes "Safe Action" as its own name for the action and does not classify an ignition type for the G27 Gen 5. This directory records the manufacturer's wording and leaves the ignition field empty rather than inferring a classification the source does not state.

08What is the trigger pull on the Glock G27 Gen 5?

Glock lists 26 N / ≈5.85 lb. A published figure is a specification rather than a measurement of any individual firearm.

09Does the Glock G27 Gen 5 have a warranty?

Glock states: One year from original purchase by the initial consumer; regional terms apply. Terms are as published at the date this record was checked and may vary by region.
