Glock 33. Any thoughts?

[pcwirepro]

I just bought one last night. Not sure why. I'm well versed in Glocks and own several but this is my first mini Glock.
The caliber seemed interesting for some reason. I guess if I don't like it I can always swap out the barrel to a 40 S&W or 9mm. Anyone have any pros and cons of the .357 SIG round. Anyone reloading that round?

Get a 27 barrel for it.

A mini-Glock in .357 SIG? I imagine it will be quite a handful as well as an earful.

I always thought a Glock 33 subcompact would be an excellent carry gun. Hopefully some day I will get one to go along with my Glock 31 and M&P 357 Sig.

A buddy has a G33 and it shoots surprisingly well for me even from the 25 yard line.

The .357Sig seems to be a great round (just a tad expensive).
I often swap out my stock .40 G27 for a Glock stock G33 barrel just for fun.
It does make a slightly louder bang, the muzzle flash is a tad more evident, but it doesn't really recoil any harder than the .40S&W.
And neither one is painful to shoot or difficult to manage (even for a creampuff like me ).

I have a Glock 32 which is a wonderful Pistol, fairly small and concealable. It's one of the most accurate weopons I own. Will shoot flat at least 100 yards. I just got in 5 boxes of 357 sig at about 18.99 a box - which is fairly cheap.

I intend to shoot beginning of next week. It's my favorite taget ammo because I can basically hit anything with that cartridge.

The 32 is itself a superior piece of work. A masterpiece of functionality and bringer of death, destruction, and broken things. In my case, I shoot quarter sized pellet pigeons at 75 to 100 yards.

The round is a spectacular combination of 40 and 9mm. It's my favorite caliber, the most useful mid-sized cartridge you can shoot in my opinion.

Enjoy your 33.

I've got a 33 and a 27.
The 33 is louder / more blast, but produces a little less recoil.
The bottleneck cartridge design is supposedly the most inherently feed reliable.
I've chronographed the 33 and compared to a 3'' barrel .357 mag revolver (using 125 gr. Federal full power ammo), the little Glock matches and exceedes the power produced by the short barrel mag revolver. It really is like having a 10 shot .357 mag (apples to apples).
Any thoughts? Basically, I think you potentially bought a good pistol.
