Best Glock in my opinion. Got mine as my primary. It was used - bought it after I completed the Florida Police Academy many, many years ago. It was a State Trooper's primary and it has all the wear and tear to show it!
It does look like a beautiful piece. I'm looking forward to buying one my self. Could you tell me more about your time with yours. I'll be glad to trade cellphone numbers.
@@2face_yt also consider the caliber and the way the guns made. i know glocks are renowned for reliabliltiy, but when compared to a revolver like a smith and wesson which is more of a niche for magnum sized cartridges, does it shoot as accurately or as easily? i know accuracy really depends on the skill of the shooter, so to put it more concisely and specifically, can you lead follow up shots faster and more accurately with a glock 31 or a smith and wesson revolver with like a 4" barrel? i get the feeling that the smith and wesson would be more accurate than a glock due to the materials the guns composed of. i hear the glock 31 is really snappy. either way, id really like to get myself a .357 magnum of some sort, and i cant decide between the glock 31 with higher mag capacity and possibly snappier and worse recoil or a smith and wesson with lower mag capacity but easier to shoot more accurately.
I wish 357SIG would become more popular again. I purchased a 9mm bull barrel for my Glock 31. Glock 17 magazines will fit . It will now shoot 9mm with a change of the barrel and Glock 17 recoil spring. It will also shoot .40 caliber with a change of the barrel only. I now have 3 calibers in this one pistol. Subscribed.

Is 9mm equal to or superior to 357 Sig? Let’s think about that for ourselves for just a moment, shall we? I get it that some people pick a side and feel the need to defend their choice, but not to the extent of regurgitating pure nonsense that they themselves were misinformed on. Some ammo manufacturers actually have loads that even surpasses the ballistics of traditional 357 magnum performance. Underwood's 357 SIG Gold Dot for example. Also because it’s a bottleneck cartridge it has the added benefit of feeding more reliably than other pistol rounds. It’s flat shooting and will punch through auto glass like it was butter. It’s literally a 9mm projectile “except” because it’s 200-300 fps faster it penetrates most barriers as well as 10mm yet doesn’t over penetrate flesh, which is welcomed to aid in avoiding collateral damage. It has a flatter trajectory that in turn makes it more accurate and potent at distance. Though the penetration is no greater than 9mm in flesh, the cavity damage is much more devastating making it more likely to stop a threat with less shots. Underwood has a 357 Sig 65g Xtreme Penetrator round that exceeds 2250+ fps out of just a 6” barrel. I don’t know of any other semiautomatic pistol caliber that has rounds capable of such velocities from a handgun. It goes straight through a 3A panel even. At those velocities normally temporary cavities tear. One of the most attractive benefits of owning a 357 Sig is the ability to convert the firearm to 40 S&W & 9mm with nothing more than a simple barrel swap.

That means you can train on whatever platform you’re most comfortable with and whatever ammo is the most affordable, and no it isn’t always 9mm. That means that you are less hindered by ammo shortages… and when you’re done training simply swap out the barrel and ammo back to 357SIG and you’re all set. Sadly on a native 9mm firearm you don’t have any option to do a conversion. I never understood what’s not to like about 357 SIG… well other than ammunition availability and cost being the only negatives I guess, but it is the better round. Keep in mind that when you compare 9mm +P or +P+ to try to achieve 357 Sig performance, 357 Sig is actually cheaper than 9mm. When I searched +P+ to get as close to 357 Sig performance as possible, it was more expensive than a standard 357 Sig JHP round. 9mm +P+ is still only 1300 fps in 124 grain. That’s 50 fps slower than the lowest end 125 grain Sig round at 1350 fps and we’re comparing +P+ 9mm ammo here. Yet the bare minimum 357 Sig performance isn’t even achievable and this is usually attempted in a platform that isn’t even recommended for +P+ or even +P at times. I say it’s best to swap to a 9mm conversion barrel when training and back to 357 Sig right before you’re all done to finish up with 357 to cut that expense down. In most cases the recoil of any superior round can be overcome with training. I do understand that some people are recoil sensitive and are more comfortable with 9mm or other lower recoiling rounds. I understand some just prefer the thought of higher capacity. I totally understand your decisions. But let’s not bash any superior round because you prematurely decided on a specific one. There’s nothing wrong with 9mm it’s awesome, but let’s be clear… it isn’t equal to 357 Sig and the few extra rounds it’s capable of holding in a magazine over 357 Sig definitely doesn’t make it the superior choice.

I have a third-gen G22, so I can fire .40, 9mm, and .357 Sig out of it with the right barrel swaps. So far I just have a KKM 9mm conversion barrel, but maybe I should look at getting one in .357 Sig as well.
Really? So how do you think 9x25 Dillon is made? Hmmm... 9x25 Dillon is a 10mm necked down to 9mm. .357 Sig is its own cartridge not necked down from anything. So you are both right and absolutely wrong.
@@jlsgarage872 Google what? Your statement about how .357 Sig is made is completely false. 9x25 Dillon IS actually a 10mm case necked down to 9mm and is longer than a .357 Sig.

@@walterhoopengarner9885 Thanks man wow 🤩 what makes the Glock 40 more 💥 Powerful? Is it cause the barrel is longer ? I’m definitely going to get a Glock 20 I like it
This thing kicks like you wouldn’t believe! Much more muzzle flip than the 9 40 or 45. You gotta think, it’s shooting projectiles 1500-2000 FPS. Super loud and super powerful round. Right up there with the 10mm all day
Sadly there is no Gen5 version of the G31. Nor is there a MOS version of the G31. Seems Gaston beefed up the slide of the G22 Gen5 to make the frames more durable as it weighs about two ounces more, but he could not be bothered making a version in .357 SIG. Too bad as the .357 SIG round is the best anti-personal round in Glock handguns IMO as the 10mm round is overpowered and the G20 SF too big (and two ounces heaver than the G22 Gen5 when empty and five ounces heavier when loaded). A G31 Gen5 MOS would be the best combat handgun Glock made as this round has substantially more energy than the 9mm round and is better than the .40 S&W round (and more feed reliable due to the bottleneck case). A heavier slide would make the G31 less "snappy" and more durable than the Gen3 and Gen4 variants. If only...
Try a S&W M&P 2.0 in 357sig(you may have to convert a 40sw with a KKM barrel,although there are some stock M&Ps out there). The Smith &Wesson has better everyrthing but I think the lower bore axis has something to do with the felt recoil and muzzle flip as well. One more thing; Glock sights suck, no wonder you could not hit the speed tree.
You could change the sights out and still pay less than an m&p unless you’re buying used. For me Glock is the go to for the blue label discount. But I love my m&p.
@@salty_terminal_civilian5374 m&p and Glocks are the best for long term reliability and durability , I like m&ps but the round capacity with Glocks got them best for sure
Always going to be better than 9mm but here on TH-cam the 9mm fan boys always attack a caliber that isn't 9mm 357 sig and 40 cal are the semi auto top dogs and I don't care what they say 😂
Do you always embarrass yourself like that? All three are practically the same diameter 10 millimeters, only 40 S&W is closer to the length of 357 sig cartridge. Relax, its no so bad, God is good.

Though the penetration is no greater than 9mm in flesh, the cavity damage is much more devastating making it more likely to stop a threat with less shots. 357 Sig Compact and Subcompact firearms actually have more energy than an equivalent sized barrel length 10mm. Even out of as much as a 4” barrel, Underwood 125gr 357 Sig has the energy that’s equal to or greater than most 10mm loads with the exception of a few specialty loads.

In most cases the recoil of any superior round can be overcome with training. I actually have little to no recoil on one of my setups. It’s compensated. You’ll find that comps actually provide greater compensation with 357 Sig compared to 9mm because of the higher pressures. I do understand that some people are recoil sensitive and are more comfortable with 9mm or other lower recoiling rounds. I understand some just prefer the thought of higher capacity. I totally understand your decisions. But let’s not bash any superior round because you prematurely decided on a specific one. Naturally shot placement, especially with pistol calibers is key… but under pressure understandably, your shot placement could be lacking. With that in mind the welcomed advantages of 357 Sig could easily make the difference between life and death, shot placement aside. Keep in mind that mag dumping 9mm into a target may not be justifiable. Back in the old days when the revolver was supreme, you were trained to take two shots and then assess the effectiveness. Essentially those first two shots may be justifiable, but the next 15 shots may not be. Again with that in mind, a more powerful caliber will require less shots to stop a threat, while decreasing the chances of any wrongdoing. There’s nothing wrong with 9mm it’s awesome, but let’s be clear… it isn’t equal to 357 Sig and the few extra rounds it’s capable of holding in a magazine over 357 Sig definitely doesn’t make it the superior choice. In time I expect 357 Sig to make the comeback that 10mm has made in recent years… For myself these 357 Sig advantages make 9mm less desirable. How about for you? 10mm vs 357 Sig, both properly loaded out of a compact barrel are equal in power. Out of the same full size length barrel lightly loaded (weak) 357 Sig is more powerful than lightly loaded (weak) 10mm. Properly loaded 10mm out of a full size is more powerful than properly loaded 357 Sig but at that point 10mm is typically more expensive than 357 Sig. But for urban carry 357 Sig is highly enjoyable to carry. I love 10mm, especially in 155gr and under but the firearms need to be larger to outshine 357 Sig. For woods with larger predators I would absolutely chose 10mm over 357 Sig but truthfully if I was going into said woods, would 10mm be enough? I would have to step in up to 44 Mag. 10mm is in a position that has little use for me even with it being the awesome round that it is. Unless I was carrying a 4.5-5” full size in urban areas but that would be overkill with what 357 Sig achieves.

Absolutely LOVE my Glock 32 357 Sig edc. You KNOW any aggressor is going down if you do your part.
Great review. Just got yourself another subscriber.
This is an excellent Jackal defense weapon and with the right ammo you can even take down the Chupacabra.
Thank for for your California comment, from a California resident.
357 sig is actually necked down 10mm. If you neck down 40 it will be too short for 357. 40 is short 10mm so you're pretty close.
Really? So how do you think 9x25 Dillon is made? Hmmm... 9x25 Dillon is a 10mm necked down to 9mm. .357 Sig is its own cartridge not necked down from anything. So you are both right and absolutely wrong.
@@mikerobinson8734 Google it

9x25 Dillon IS actually a 10mm case necked down to 9mm and is longer than a .357 Sig.

Nice! What made you decide to go with 357 sig? I had a 1911 in 357 sig, but I sold it. Should have kept it!
@@FirearmsofAmerica Honestly the changing of the barrels to fire other ammo. I love 1911s and going to buy one once I'm comfortable with my Glock, you definitely should of kept it!
LOVE this gun. Look forward to buying one
My EDC. Good pistol.
Not to heavy? Just got my case and can’t wait
That gun shoots like a laser beam.
You should see when it actually does have a laser. A green one.
I love that gun!
Who picks up the trigger assemblies, fire selectors that are left in residential areas?
There may be a fire selector and a trigger assembly for a Beretta FS that includes three round burst out loose.
What about the folding stock and extended mag that was left as well?
I'm not quite sure tbh, sounds like a trick question, excuse my suspiciousness, hope you can figure it out. Perhaps reach out to your local sheriff's? ATF maybe?
California's Gulag laws really make me consider getting out of this state.
It is really sad that it is that way, California is such a beautiful state.
I agree with you on the politician talk, we should take them for a ride show them parts of California they haven't seen before. 😂
Can you put a double stacked mag in dis Glock 31 ???
Same in Jersey brother only 10😤 smfh but we are still double stacked mag ready😁
Which Glock handgun is the most powerful and most lethal ???
Glock 40 then Glock 20 both in 10mm.
@@walterhoopengarner9885 Thanks man wow 🤩 what makes the Glock 40 more 💥 Powerful? Is it cause the barrel is longer ? I’m definitely going to get a Glock 20 I like it
I have glock 31 like shooting 357 sig wish 357 sig was cheaper
Great video! Does it seem to have more noticeable muzzle blast than 9mm or concussion?
This thing kicks like you wouldn’t believe! Much more muzzle flip than the 9 40 or 45. You gotta think, it’s shooting projectiles 1500-2000 FPS. Super loud and super powerful round. Right up there with the 10mm all day

What is effective range of this pistol
@9:06 Magazine Insertion
Sadly there is no Gen5 version of the G31. Nor is there a MOS version of the G31. Seems Gaston beefed up the slide of the G22 Gen5 to make the frames more durable as it weighs about two ounces more, but he could not be bothered making a version in .357 SIG. Too bad as the .357 SIG round is the best anti-personal round in Glock handguns IMO as the 10mm round is overpowered and the G20 SF too big (and two ounces heaver than the G22 Gen5 when empty and five ounces heavier when loaded). A G31 Gen5 MOS would be the best combat handgun Glock made as this round has substantially more energy than the 9mm round and is better than the .40 S&W round (and more feed reliable due to the bottleneck case). A heavier slide would make the G31 less "snappy" and more durable than the Gen3 and Gen4 variants. If only...
No complaints on the reliability and durability of the gen 3 and gen 4 G31s
There is a difference, the Gen 5 40 cal Glocks have less recoil, if there was a G31 Gen 5 it would be the perfect combat pistol
Nice!
Try a S&W M&P 2.0 in 357sig(you may have to convert a 40sw with a KKM barrel,although there are some stock M&Ps out there). The Smith &Wesson has better everyrthing but I think the lower bore axis has something to do with the felt recoil and muzzle flip as well. One more thing; Glock sights suck, no wonder you could not hit the speed tree.
You could change the sights out and still pay less than an m&p unless you’re buying used. For me Glock is the go to for the blue label discount. But I love my m&p.
@@salty_terminal_civilian5374 m&p and Glocks are the best for long term reliability and durability , I like m&ps but the round capacity with Glocks got them best for sure
Always going to be better than 9mm but here on TH-cam the 9mm fan boys always attack a caliber that isn't 9mm 357 sig and 40 cal are the semi auto top dogs and I don't care what they say 😂

Xoposho Da?
It is NOT a 40s&w case.....ut is a shortened 10mm....
Do your homework!!!
Thumbs down 👎 for your knowledge.
Do you always embarrass yourself like that? All three are practically the same diameter 10 millimeters, only 40 S&W is closer to the length of 357 sig cartridge. Relax, its no so bad, God is good.
10mm not a 40! - 10mm not a 40!
Is 9mm equal to or superior to 357 Sig? Let’s think about that for ourselves for just a moment, shall we? I get it that some people pick a side and feel the need to defend their choice, but not to the extent of regurgitating pure nonsense that they themselves were misinformed on.
Some ammo manufacturers actually have loads that even surpasses the ballistics of traditional 357 magnum performance. Underwood's 357 SIG Gold Dot for example. Also because it’s a bottleneck cartridge it has the added benefit of feeding more reliably than other pistol rounds. It’s flat shooting and will punch through auto glass like it was butter.
It’s literally a 9mm projectile “except” because it’s 225-300 fps faster it penetrates most barriers as well as 10mm yet doesn’t over penetrate flesh, which is welcomed to aid in avoiding collateral damage.
It has a flatter trajectory that in turn makes it more accurate and potent at distance. Though the penetration is no greater than 9mm in flesh, the cavity damage is much more devastating making it more likely to stop a threat with less shots.
357 Sig Compact and Subcompact firearms actually have more energy than an equivalent sized barrel length 10mm. Even out of as much as a 4” barrel, Underwood 125gr 357 Sig has the energy that’s equal to or greater than most 10mm loads with the exception of a few specialty loads. Basically 10mm energy only surpasses 357 Sig out of longer full size barrel lengths.
Underwood has a 357 Sig 65gr Xtreme Penetrator round that exceeds 2250+ fps out of just a 6” barrel. I don’t know of any other semiautomatic pistol caliber that has rounds capable of such velocities from a handgun. It goes straight through a 3A panel even. At those velocities normally temporary cavities tear.
One of the most attractive benefits of owning a 357 Sig is the ability to convert the firearm to 40 S&W & 9mm with nothing more than a simple barrel swap. You also normally can do a 357 Sig or 9mm conversion if you own a 40 S&W firearm as well. That means you can train on whatever platform you’re most comfortable with and whatever ammo is the most affordable, and no it isn’t always 9mm. That means that you are less hindered by ammo shortages… and when you’re done training simply swap out the barrel and ammo back to 357SIG and you’re all set. Sadly on a native 9mm firearm you don’t have any option to do a conversion.
I never understood what’s not to like about 357 SIG… well other than ammunition availability and cost being the only negatives I guess, but it is the better round.
Keep in mind that when you compare 9mm +P or +P+ to try to achieve 357 Sig performance, 357 Sig is actually cheaper than 9mm. When I searched +P+ to get as close to 357 Sig performance as possible, it was more expensive than a standard 357 Sig JHP round.
9mm +P+ is still only 1300 fps in 124 grain. That’s 50 fps slower than the lowest end 125 grain Sig round at 1350 fps and we’re comparing +P+ 9mm ammo here. Yet the bare minimum 357 Sig performance isn’t even achievable and this is usually attempted in a platform that isn’t even recommended for +P+ or even +P at times.
I say it’s best to swap to a 9mm conversion barrel when training and back to 357 Sig right before you’re all done to finish up with 357 to cut that expense down.
In most cases the recoil of any superior round can be overcome with training. I actually have little to no recoil on one of my setups. It’s compensated. You’ll find that comps actually provide greater compensation with 357 Sig compared to 9mm because of the higher pressures. I do understand that some people are recoil sensitive and are more comfortable with 9mm or other lower recoiling rounds. I understand some just prefer the thought of higher capacity. I totally understand your decisions. But let’s not bash any superior round because you prematurely decided on a specific one.
Naturally shot placement, especially with pistol calibers is key… but under pressure understandably, your shot placement could be lacking. With that in mind the welcomed advantages of 357 Sig could easily make the difference between life and death, shot placement aside.
Keep in mind that mag dumping 9mm into a target may not be justifiable. Back in the old days when the revolver was supreme, you were trained to take two shots and then assess the effectiveness. Essentially those first two shots may be justifiable, but the next 15 shots may not be. Again with that in mind, a more powerful caliber will require less shots to stop a threat, while decreasing the chances of any wrongdoing.
There’s nothing wrong with 9mm it’s awesome, but let’s be clear… it isn’t equal to 357 Sig and the few extra rounds it’s capable of holding in a magazine over 357 Sig definitely doesn’t make it the superior choice. In time I expect 357 Sig to make the comeback that 10mm has made in recent years… For myself these 357 Sig advantages make 9mm less desirable. How about for you?
10mm vs 357 Sig, both properly loaded out of a compact barrel are equal in power. Out of the same full size length barrel lightly loaded (weak) 357 Sig is more powerful than lightly loaded (weak) 10mm. Properly loaded 10mm out of a full size is more powerful than properly loaded 357 Sig but at that point 10mm is typically more expensive than 357 Sig. But for urban carry 357 Sig is highly enjoyable to carry. I love 10mm, especially in 155gr and under but the firearms need to be larger to outshine 357 Sig. For woods with larger predators I would absolutely chose 10mm over 357 Sig but truthfully if I was going into said woods, would 10mm be enough? I would have to step in up to 44 Mag. 10mm is in a position that has little use for me even with it being the awesome round that it is. Unless I was carrying a 4.5-5” full size in urban areas but that would be overkill with what 357 Sig achieves.
