I would not recommend using a G23 barrel in a G27 (or using a G19 barrel in a G26). Sure, it works, but it's hard on the frame.

If you want to see why, lay a G27 barrel next to a G23 barrel (or a G26 barrel next to a G19) and you'll see there are more differences than just the barrel length. The G27's barrel (or G26) needs to tip up at a steeper angle than the G23 (or G19), so if you look closely you'll see that the angle on the locking lug on the barrel that engages the locking block on the frame is different. And that means you're putting a lot more wear on the frame of your G27 when you shoot it with a G23 barrel.
