baby Glocks
My favorite pocket gun IF I'm wearing pants with cargo pockets. It's the only pocket gun that shoots like it's not a pocket gun. There are 2 reasons for this as far as I can tell. 1) the gun is fat 2) it has an a cavity inside the back of the grip that flexes and soaks up some of the recoil
My experience is with the G26 and 27. I traded off the 27 because I was so much faster on multiple targets with the 9. It was a mistake, I wish I had kept it for ammo supply/availability. My question is this. How does the 9 compare to the .357 Sig shootability wise? |

To me, the 357 Sig is closer in recoil to 40 than 9mm.
357 Sig blast is greater than 40. I like the bottleneck 357 Sig its like a 9mm magnum.

.357
I have a G32 barrel that I run in my 23 and 27. In both of those guns it groups tighter than their factory origional barrels. Therefore in my small sample size .357 sig is slightly more accurate than .40

Vermonter, I just bought a new G23 gen 4 yesterday. What does the Glock 357 barrel cost? I have every intention of getting it.

Everyone will have a different perception of recoil but to me the 357Sig isn't bad in a G33- the dual RSA really helps soak up the recoil. My G32 would literally sting your hand like a broken ball bat.
The G27 (40) with 155gr ammo to me kicks the worst (more so to me than the G33 357sig) and the 180gr ammo being the best in a 40S&W. All the baby Glocks are really great guns. I can tell you this if Glock were to make a single stack LC9 size gun they would be much busier they already are for a very long time!! |

I had a 31 in 357SIG, and when shooting it side by side with one of my 17's using +P+ 9mm, other than the 357's "bark", you wouldnt have known what you were shooting, if someone handed you one or the other and didnt tell you what it was.
Be aware, 357SIG and +P+ 9mm are very close as far as ballistics go. You really dont gain a whole lot there. |

It was worth it for me to be able to shoot another caliber if needed for only an additional $75-$100. Regards, Vermonter |

Are you serious that you carry a Glock in your pocket?? Is there anything over the trigger?? Sounds dangerous if not..
