Thinking about a G-33

[kaycee64]

I already have a full arsenal of weapons; a ruger blackhawk a ruger p-90, Sig P232, P229, SP2022, Glock G-22, and the list goes on. The G-22 is what made me fall in love with the glock. I now have my sights on the G-33. Wanted to know what you guys who have them think positive and negative, my feelings won't get hurt. It just seems like a nice compact weapon.

My G33 is my favorite handgun and is also my everywhere carry gun. Nice power and accuracy in a very concealable package. It's surprisingly very controllable for it's size and power.

Some people don't like the mini-Glocks though especially the G33/27 mainly because they're just too small for them to comfortably handle.

Other downsides are higher muzzle flash with some ammo and less available and more expensive ammo.

I buy the 500 round bulk packs of 125 gr. .357 Sig Gold Dots on-line from http://www.ammoman.com/index.htm at $129.00.

$12.90 per box of 50 for premium Low muzzle flash bonded core hollow points.

Buy it, you'll love it. Great fun to shoot! Mine is the only handgun I will never consider getting rid of. I like a heavier trigger pull so I have a 5.5-lb. connector plus a NY trigger spring. I prefer Meprolights and plus-2 baseplates on the mini-Glocks, so I've got the perfect off-duty setup for me. I love it! Without the baseplate, after 50 rounds it's not really fun for me to shoot anymore. Doesn't hurt, just uncomfortable. But, I love the round and weapon. I considered getting a G27 since I carry a G22 on duty, but the Glock 33 is just awesome.

Have you shot one yet? I think if you do you'll be sold.

I just picked up a like new G33 last week, from a GT member.

I was a little apprehensive, since I had a G27 and did not care for it at all. The G27 had a little more muzzle flip than I cared for (read: I didn't feel I was able to control it very well). From reading here on GT, and anywhere else I could find, I found that the .357sig has more of a backward snap recoil, as compared to .40s&w muzzle flip. After this weekend, I would have to agree! 200 rounds of various ammo through my G33 and I absolutely love it! More of a good thump in the center of my palm, not much flip at all. Mine was spot on for aim, and follow up shots were fairly quick (considering it was my first range trip with the gun. I was shooting with five 9 round (no finger extensions) mags, and one 15 round mag, and even with my pinky finger dangeling, it was very controlable.

Yesterday my order from Topglock came, of three +1 Pearce extensions (more for comfort and round count) and Meprolight night sights, so I installed those last night!

I love the size and concealability of the Glock sub-compacts over the others, because they still offer a decent mag capacity.

I own/have owned: G17, G21, G22, G23, G27, and now the G33, and the G33 is by far my favorite! I'm sort of thinking I may need a G31 now?
