Thinking about an uncommon Glock, but which one?

[JimKirk]

While the Glock 31 is certainly not uncommon....

It sure is a nice gun to shoot ....

With a couple conversion barrels .... You can shoot 357 SIG, 9 mm, & the 40 S&W....

 

[Sergei Mosin]

G32 is sensible. G29 is reasonable. Who wants to be either of those things? Go for the fire-spitting pocket rocket - go for the baby Glock with extra pizzazz - go G33.

 

[Robbins290]

I still wanna get my hands on a G25 or G28

 

[tercel89]

I had a G34 . Wish I never traded it . It's the best 9mm I ever shot. But with your case I'd pick a G29. Glock seems to be the best in 10mm handguns.

Well after some deliberating, I think I’ve decided on the G32. I really like the idea having a multicaliber setup. I can have 357 Sig, 40SW, and 9mm all with a simple barrel change, and I already have a ton of 9mm Glock mags. And I can even run a 22LR with a conversion kit. So that’s 4 calibers in one and that really appeals to me.

 

[Robbins290]

can go wrong with choice. i have the same set up in a G22 and G23.

Now you have to figure out a plan to make sure you don't stick the wrong caliber in the gun. Since all Glock mags basically look the same, that could be somewhat of a challenge.

I suggested that earlier - he's not interested.

While he asked for uncommon, I think the .45 GAP was a little more uncommon than he was planning.

If you haven't gotten it yet, and if you really want something very close to a glock that's different and unusual, get a steyr s9 or m9. Designed by one of the glock designers, it's basically a better glock, imo...and definitely different.

While the Steyr M is frequently compared to Glock-series pistols (both are polymer-framed striker-fired pistols, with Tenifer finishes), there are several differences in the details of the design. For example, the M-series had a fully supported chamber in all chamberings from the start (Some Glock models also had this feature from the start, other Glock models evolved to having more supported chambers when compared to their original internal layout), unique triangular/trapezoid sights, a loaded chamber indicator in the form of an extractor protrusion, witness hole on the top rear of the barrel and a rod below the rear sights that sits flush in the rear of the slide when the chamber is empty and is raised slightly when the chamber is loaded for a visual and tactile indicator of the firearm’s condition (on third and later generation Glock pistols this feature is present on the extractor on the right slide side) and a different grip angle (111°).

Steyr makes great handguns. I have a S9-A1 which is comparable to a G19 and an M40-A1 that is the G22 equivalent. They were available in 357 Sig at one time but now only available in 9 and 40. Only the older generation models have the loaded chamber indicator rod. The trigger is as good as it gets for a striker. If you can find one in 357 Sig it may be just what you want.

I personally really dislike the size of the G29/30, so that alone would lead me to choose G33 or G32. I will say that I've had 357 SIG in the past and find it to be a good caliber, and since you reload, you should know that you can really make the 357 SIG boogie if you want it to.

 

[Snowdog]

As much as I like the 357Sig when loaded to its potential, I enjoy the 10mm a bit more.

Both suffer from significantly milder commercial offerings from most ammunition companies than they were intended to be. The 357Sig is typically offered as a 125gr offering at 1350 fps when it was originally intended to push that 125gr projectile to 1450 fps to replicate the venerable 125gr .357 magnum JHP/SJHP load.
Some, such as Underwood, offer a 125gr XTP or Gold Dot screaming at over 1500 fps from a 4" barrel.

The poor 10mm suffered even more as so many load the 10mm to just barely more than your typical .40S&W. I load my own, but I have purchased 10mm from Buffalo Bore and Underwood and they load the 10mm properly.

I have a 29 , ( my vote)
And two 23's , one is a fulltime 32

Sorry, i didnt see your reply. I have fell in love with mine. And for an leo trade in, I couldnt have asked for it to be in better shape. Price was like 270ish. Where you gonna find any glock at that price? I bought 2, and converted the other to 22 rimfire. Thats uncommon!

 

[crestoncowboy]

299 with night sights is the going price for a Glock 22 right now. Ive bought a few that look like new. I'd be hesitant to buy anything new with those prices available

 

[Dan-O]

If you’re looking at the 29, I’d get the 30 instead and convert it to 10mm.

 

[mrmike7189]

G33..........(Since the OP said he liked the Glock 26.
I have one and have always liked the 26/27/33 sized sub compacts the best.
They carry well, shoot well, have good capacity and hold their re- sale value well

 

[rbernie]

The nice thing about the G29 is that you can get 40S&W and 357Sig barrels for it.
