do they even make a 27g x 1"
Delts 1" 25g
Glutes 1,5" 22g
I had a hard time finding 25g 1.5" for glutes so I went with 1"
Of course now I find them. BD Regular Bevel Needles 25 Gauge, 1.5", - 100 Needles - HealthWarehouse.com
for IM, 25 gauge is king for all sites
for SQ, 25-30 gauge
Length is user dependent (BF%)
For example me:
IM glute- 1"
IM delt- 5/8"
IM quad- 5/8"
SQ abdomen- 3/8"
SQ quad- 3/8"
I always used the same pin for quads or delts, and I believe it was 28g 1". I was able to hit muscle with this although I was under 20% bodyfat. if someone wast around that level of fat they might not hit muscle in the quad.
glutes you would want something longer especially if you have more bodyfat
I have always just used 26g 1 inch for all sites glutes, thigh and delt never had a problem once. Also i only use 1/2 inch 30g for my HCG
