I own a G27.  I am rethinking this and wondering if I would have liked the G23 more.  Anyone have this same feeling in the opposite direction?  Just putting some feelers out to what yoos guys have to say.

If you can shoot the G27 decently, I would stick with that for carry.  I have a G23 and it's a big gun to carry especially in the summer wearing shorts and a t-shirt.  I find myself carrying a SW 38 Airweight all summer because I get sick of lugging the G23 around.

My father in law just got a G23 in FDE.  He said he would trad frames with me if I had one.  I don't like how small the G27 is.  I added an extension but it still doesn't feel quite right.

I carry a G27 or a G22 when I can dress around the gun, and don't find them hard to conceal.  But when I need to tuck in my shirt and wear a tie, I go smaller.

I find a G23 much more "shootable" than a G27 with Pearce grip extension.  I've seen, but never tried, magazine extensions that elongate the G27 grip.  Maybe those would turn your G27 into a G23?  You could try those to see if they solve your grip problem, while still keeping the G27.
