I cant decide between the g32 and the g33.
Which one do you like?

I havent shot a .357 sig round before so I dont really know how the recoil is on them. I have a G30 though so I am use to the sub compact models of Glock.

I have both and I always prefer the G33 for CCW due to size/weight.

I also have and enjoy both. I prefer the G33 for CCW and for range shooting at out to 12yds (with 24/7 Big Dot sights) and I like the G32 with standard sights at more than 12 yds. So I would suggest the G32 for range shooting or CCW with a jacket, etc. and the G33 for summer CCW and close range work.

I skipped the G32 and went for a pair of G33's and one G31-C with the factory ported and also a regular non ported G31 barrel.

The G33 with a plus one extension is not that much smaller than a G32 but with a flush fit mag it seems to hide a little better with a T-shirt and a IWB holster.

Disclaimer, I dont own a 32 or 33. But since you are talking about dimensions I do have a 19 and a 27 which are the same in size.

For ankle carry G-27/G-33, for anything else I prefer the G-19/G-32.

I too only have the G33. It does conceal well, and its so light you almost forget it's there. I would think the bigger G32 would be more accurate at distance, but I've never fired one.;f

I have a Glock 23, and used to have a Glock 27. It wasn't that much more difficult to conceal the Glock 23, and I could shoot the Glock 23 all day long.

The Glock 27 was just a bit easier to conceal, but wasn't nearly as pleasant to shoot when firing full power loads. After about 50 rounds of anything except for American Eagle 165 grain FMJ (the mildest factory plinking load), my hand would ache. After 100 rounds, my hand would shake so much, that I would have a hard time holding a cup of coffee afterwards.

Now, I realize, that the gun was for concealed carry purposes, and that the 50 or 100 round pain factor was pretty much a moot issue, but in the end, I found that I could shoot the Glock 23 more accurately, and having 14 rounds at my disposal gave me a feeling of the warm fuzzies.
