How much more controllable is the 31 vs the 32

How much more controllable is the 31 versus the 32?

[ronin_asano]

that question presupposes the 32 is less controllable, which i don't find to be the case.

I, like R_A, find the G32 just fine. You either have the coconuts to handle it or not. No more kick than say a 9mm+P+, or 135gr-165gr 40SW loads.

I find the 31-sized weapons more controllable just because they fit me better.

[G33]

YMMV is a good place to start.:)
I can shoot the G31/33 better and faster than the G32.
No clue why?
But the G19 feels the best in my hands.
Crazy, eh!;f

(G33 with mag ext.)

so far, i shoot my g32 better than my dad's g22 with 165gr loads.

the compact frame size just fits my smaller hands better.

The grip is the same size. No?

no, the height of the g31 is 138mm, the g32 is 127mm. my dad's g22 (same frame as the g31) leaves a bit of grip below my strong hand pinky. when i hold my 32, my pinky rests at the bottom of the grip.

i'm assuming the heigh measurement difference is due to the grip. the g22 frame looks like a longer grip too me.
