Just doing some window shopping and had a 32 catch my eye.  I know it is kind of an uncommon round, but what do you guys think of them?  I went through all 14 pages of this section and didn't really see anything posted about them.

I have a 32 and also an OEM 23 barrel for it. My gun has been flawless in both calibers.

Good platform.  Freight train of a round ballistically.  Our local Sheriffs dept issues it.  With a barrel and a few other things you can do .40 and 9 too whenever you choose.

I liked mine but didn't see the point of the round. 9mm performs just as well, but is cheaper to shoot and holds more ammo.

I've shot them.  Low recoil, very loud, and big flash.

If I could reload them easily I'd consider it but I really have no use for the round, personally.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. I'll probably cross it off my list.

I owned a couple and this was my experience as well.

If .357 Sig ammo was the same price as 9mm, I would have kept my 32 & 33. It's a very good defensive round imho!!

If I had to do it over I would have bought a 32 and then snagged an OEM 23 barrel off of EE when they pop up.  I bought a 23 and OEM 32 barrels don't show up on EE very often.

My 32 shot the best groups of any Glock I have...but the only ammo I had was Speer Lawman 125gr HP's.

Around here you'll spend over $30 a box for target ammo.

I have a G32 with thousands of rounds fired never a burp. Can drop bowling pins at 100 yrds keeping the sights dead on the pin. No compensating needed with this caliber.

Love my 32

I had one, really liked it and the velocity of the .357 SIG round.

Got tired of reloading exclusively, so I sold it and bought another Glock in 9mm or 45acp, don't remember which...

I would be interested in seeing the load data that supported this statement.

Winchester ranger 127+p+ is 200fps  slower than .357sig and buffalo bore has loadings with the same velocity but in 115 grain bullets.

I love it when people say that .357 SIG does not have a ballistic advantage over 9mm, then back the argument up with standard pressure .357 SIG vs +P+ 9mm 115gr velocity data

Im a huge advocate of the 9x19 cartridge, its my favorite in fact... but that argument is apples to oranges considering the .357 SIG is operating under normal pressure, and the 9mm +P+ is operating right at the limit of common load data.

I got a hell of a deal on a box queen 32.  It came with a box of double tap hollows. The price difference is not too outrageous here. By far the most accurate pistol I own. I run speer gold dot HP. Shoot lawman or white box winchester and have no problem in finding them here or them being outrageously priced. Texas  Dps carries the 31/32.  Love the pistol so far . As for the argument against a 9mm... there's an argument against everything. Ballistics tell the story

Hi to all

Had a Glock 32 and in a weak moment traded it away, but always regretted doing so.
Few days ago, picked up another one LNIB with 6 boxes of Fed HST JHP ammo plus box range ammo.
Knew the guy personally and that gun was only about 30 day old with 100 rds through it.
Figuring cost of ammo, I see it as getting the weapon for about $260.
