I've been carrying and shooting a gen 3 glock 27 that I picked up new in box for 525 out the door. I must say that out of all the guns I've ever shot, (and I've shot a lot) this by far has to be my favorite. The way it handles for its size is amazing it Carries great in the pocket or in the waist band. I've got around 500 rounds rounds threw it without a single issue. It has replaced my shield as my back up duty gun and as my edc. Best purchase I've made in a really long time.
