Who Shoots/Carries Glock 33?
SemperFiGuy:
In .357Sig [Or Just Plain .357, according to Glock, who doesn't want to admit to the existence of Sig or S&W--as in .40S&W, etc.]
Anyhow, I'm kinda fascinated by the barrel swap-out feature, where just by switching barrels, the Glock 33 becomes a Glock 27 and vice-versa.
And swap out the slide and magazine, you got a Glock 26 in 9mm.
Bullet Hole doesn't have any Glock 33 rentals, so you can't go there to try before buying.
Searching for "Glock 33" on this forum brings up a Big Nothing.
Anybody here shoot 'em?? If so, what do you like/not like about the Glock 33?

Well, don't have the G33 but do have the 31. I like the 357sig round just for the added velocity. Rarely carry it for CCW but do carry it when hunting.
I do have a stock G22 barrel to switch to .40sw, and a 9mm conversion barrel for it as well. You would not have to switch out the entire slide assembly for 9mm if you did not want to.

I dont have one but I have had the opportunity to shoot one. For me it handled a lot like the .40 caliber. If you can find a Glock 27 to shoot it will give you a good idea of what to expect.
Its a great round but the cost and availability of ammo could be an issue. But if your goal is to have the ability to easily change between several cartridges its the way to go.

My baseline carry gun is a Kahr PM9 in 9mm (of course) stocked with Remington Golden Sabers, same as Omaha Police Department. W/Crimson Trace laser.
Nice and small and convenient and concealable for pocket carry. Plus I've got buckets of handloaded 9mm practice rounds made over the past long winter months.
However, the 9mm is admittedly on the lighter end of self-defense loadings. The .357Sig is a coupla notches up on the one-shot stopping power scale, which is why I'm checking out the Glock 33.
And I've learned to carefully check out a proposed new handgun purchase, both by asking Those Who Own One (Same motto as Packard, my very first automobile: "Ask the Man Who Owns One.") and by shooting a rental or borrowed gun, whenever possible. Otherwise, you wind up with an arsenal of not-quite-right handguns to go with your drawer full of not-quite-right holsters.
Kinda looks like Glock 33s are scarce items on the NFOA forum.
[Except for Chris Z, who probably has a drawer full of them in various configurations.]

You could just buy my SIG P226 and put a .357 SIG barrel in it. :)
