I ended up having to sell both the G22 & 27 because I got tired of getting sliced up. I ended up with a M&P 9mm, which I'm quite happy with. It has a little bit of a beaver tail that keeps the web of my hand out of the way. The Glocks really do have a pretty low bore-axis.. just in my case too low for the way I grip them.

Firearms are not star trek hand phasers and no gun is guaranteed to instantly kill (unless your caliber is 20mm AA!), despite how much crowing the .45, .44 mag and .357 mag owners do. Pick a caliber that works for you as a hunter, plinker or for self defense and practice, practice, practice! Learn to shoot well, know the limitations of your firearm, read Mr. Ayoob's book "Truth about Self Defense" and focus on the overall picture, not caliber! Indeed Mr. Ayoob, as always you are on target with "no such thing as too small a gun". regards to all!
