Glock 32 in .357 Sig

Sporteque carries .357SIG ammunition and has the G31 in stock (as well as used IGB-barreled .40S&W G23's in stock @$655.)
In theory, Sporteque, Questar, and Police Ordnance all could bring in a G32 for a customer, if a customer ordered a G32. Barrels are available directly from both Storm Lake and Lone Wolf.

My M&P started life as a .357Sig [I see .357 Auto more and more these days] but I added a .40 cal barrel from Storm Lake and mostly shoot that, as the ammo is a lot cheaper and more available. It's generally a no-brainer upgrade though, just in case you fancy trying a different cartridge. It's debatable whether the .357 Sig gives you anything that the .40S&W or a hot 9mm round doesn't...
?????what......
No it is not. The .357 SIG gives you more FPS and FT/LBS than either the .40 or 'hot' 9mm (not even close).
None of those can hit 1350 FPS or 520 FT/LBS.
That statement comes from those that don't want or can't shoot the .357 SIG and need to come up with an excuse not to.
..."my .40 is good enough" or..."My 9mm is cheaper...."
Shoot this instead

Does it come in 10mm?

First unauthorized look at the ultra compact Glock 40, in 40. Wait until you see the canadian version.

Meh, 9mm can easily be loaded to reach 1250fps with 125gr bullet and .40 can push 135gr at 1300 for even more energy.No it is not. The .357 SIG gives you more FPS and FT/LBS than either the .40 or 'hot' 9mm (not even close).

If I want more power I'll just grab my 10mm

But if you hand load the .40/9mm hot.....do the same for the .357 SIG.
We have to compare factory loads.
10mm sounds nice, I'll have to try one someday. I wish SIG made a 10mm

Not out of a 98mm barrel.

Has anyone actually got one? I bought a Glock 23 from Questar, I actually wanted a Glock 32 but I had a hard enough time finding a Glock 23.

I've been using .357 SIG since it came out, had one of the very first P229s when they came out in 1994.
Slide velocity is higher than with a .40, he describes it in that video as more "snappy", I would describe it as more sudden, or immediate. You have to be careful with the recoil springs, they don't last long.
The Glock 23 itself has a pretty high slide velocity, even with .40. I've used the Glock 32, it is a bit of a handful. The main thing about them is how loud they are. It's not .45 Win Mag loud but for a mid-class pistol cartridge it is pretty deafening.
Also that video is the best example of why not to buy Fiocchi ammunition, usually it's piss weak and it's always got a blinding muzzle flash.

Out of my Glock 17, Speer 115gr. GDHP's average 1372fps and 481 ft/lbs of energy. Close enough to .357 Sig ballistics to me.
Out of my Glock 22, a Federal 155gr. JHP is going 1230 fps with over 500 ft/lbs of energy. Use a Corbon load at 135gr. at 1350fps and well over 500 ft/lbs of energy.
.357 Sig has nothing on 9mm or .40S&W when using the right rounds.
I'd personally like to know where to get these magical non-"+P" 115-gr 9mm Speers that seem to go 200 fps over what they're actually advertised to do, and have an uncanny resemblence to the specs for the 115-gr .327 Federal Magnum Speer load....
.357 sig has more powder room in the case so it does have more potential than 9mm, and because energy is always highter with light bullets moving fast it may seem to have more energy than .40 which usually uses 135-180gr bullets. Personally I have too many caliber already and getting into .357sig would be a waste of time since there are no advantages for me to shoot that caliber. But if 9mm, .40 and .357 factor ammo was cheap and priced the same, maybe I'd get one, but right now I simply have no need for it.
