Concerning the Glock 33

**Son** · December 9th, 2009, 03:10 AM

hello again PAFOA, i am back with another question. In my search for a good pistol, i had to turn my gaze toward Glock of course and while looking i found a pretty small pistol that packs a big punch: the Glock 33 .357 cal. Looks like a good PDW to me but then again its a frickin 357. In such a small gun would this round out preform its body, or is this something worth looking into for a good concealed weapon?

For such a small gun i'd go with a Glock 26, .357 sig is no joke, however i find it to be a smoother shooting round than the .40 s&w, i have the larger size up the Glock 32, perfect balance of power to weight/size ratio.

The .357 Sig is a great PD round. Good ballistics, good muzzle energy, etc..... The only downfall of rounds like the .357 Sig and 10mm are the cost and availability of ammo. I would check in your area to see how much ammo costs compared to "normal" service rounds. May sway your thinking. Great gun though!! If your into it, great choice.

I have a G33 and if you never shot one I'd suggest trying one first if you can, they are quite snappy and a handful compared to the G26 9mm.

I have the G32 and love it. I have shot the G26, 27 and 33. If I were going to buy a new Glock, I would get the 33. More so because I already have the 32 and could use the common mags and practice ammo. I do love the cartrige though.
