Ok guys I was wondering what you can tell me about the glock 32 and the 357 sig? It seems to me that no one likes it, why is that?
Ah yup ... and all this talk is making me want to go shoot a few of mine.Great platform, great cartridge, cheap to reload for.
It's a little loud and sharper recoil then the .40 cal parent case
Recoil being subjective, I've always agreed that .40 was jumper than 357 sig.You should run a recoil calculator on various .357 SIG and .40 S&W loads.
I think you will be surprised.

Thanks for the link. It corroborates my felt recoil suspicion.Most serious .40 loads will generate more physical recoil forces than comparable .357 SIG.
Plug in your own data, it is pretty interesting.

of over[/ I]1500 fps (that's 630 ft/lbs at the muzzle, shazam!). IIRC, this is similar performance to Federal or Remington 125gr JHP .357 magnum from a 6" barrel.
