I'am new to the 357sig caliber Glocks and would like some feedback on what you folks use for target and defense loads. Natchez has CCI BLAZERS for $8.15 a box. Has anybody had good luck with them? My Glock 20 loves them for target practice. THANKS:cool:

For the range, I use the Blazers in my G32 with no problem. For carry, I use Speer Gold Dots.
I use Blazers at the range. Georgie-arms.com is another popular alternative, but I haven't tried them out yet. I usually keep it loaded with 125gr Cor-bon.
The CCI Blazers will work just fine for range work. I got my 1k from Natchez as well. Had no problems with them.
I alternate between Gold Dots and Cor-Bon for both range and carry ammo. Natchez.com and Cheaperthandirt.com usually have pretty good prices, with Natchez a tad cheaper.

125gr JHP Speer Gold Dots seem to come up as the #1 carry ammo here, count me in. Always reliable in the gun and not something you want to be in front of when it's coming out of it! These also have low muzzle flash for low light situations. Check around the web, dig through this site and you'll find lots of good opinions, info, and experience.
As for range ammo, try as many as you want. Locally I've had Speer Lawman, PMC, Winchester, and a couple others available so I've tried them all. I'm not scoring my shooting yet so if it fires and hits close to where I point then life is good.
Defense loads - 125 gr. JHP Cor-bon .
Range & IDPA loads - I reload 124 gr. FP Berry's Copper Plated bullets, Universal Clays powder, CCI primers for about $3.76 per 50.
The 32 is a great gun. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine! ;b

I prefer either 125 gr Speer Gold Dots or 125 gr Proloads for carry and 125 gr Speer Lawman for the range.

Speer Gold Dots for defense.
For practice, Georgia Arms "canned heat" Bulk ammo sold in ammo cans. 1000 rounds is $149.95 plus shipping. Georgia arms will ship FREE on any orders totaling $500 or more.
GREAT ammo. And I think you can turn in the used brass to GA for a discount against future purchases.

Speer gold dot 125 grain for carry and Speer lawman for the range.
I've been very happy with the Speer rounds,no failures of any type. I had numerous failures with S&B that I got from Cheaper than Dirt. The price was too good to be true. The main problem with the S&B was hard primers and since I use this piece as my primary carry weapon I was hesitant to switch to a stronger firing pin spring. I have also used the Cor Bon rounds and had excellent results. Are the Georgia Arms "canned heat" reloads? I've always been hesitant to shoot any reloads in a Glock.

When I looked at the GA Arms site it said they were remanufactured rounds, what's that - a factory reload?

i like corbon 115's. they get to 1500 fps out of a 4" barrel. i also like speer gold dot 125's. they have a very blunt, flat hollowpoint that reaches 1300 fps+. the 32 is one of my favorite glocks. good luck and definately use plugs and muffs, these suckers are loud!! some old guy said "whatcha shootin, sounds like a nine". i just laughed in his and his wifes face. could they be that deaf already? i doubt it. the 32 gets attention at the range.

greyhoundx - yes, that's what it means.
Some GA ammo is made from all new components, such as their Shear Power Plus defensive ammo.
Feed my G32 Blazers at the range, and carry Speer Gold Dots and Ranger Talons.
FOR ALL YOU WHO RELOAD .357SIG SIERRA'S LOAD USING ACCCCURATE ARMS #9 AND THE 90 GRAIN FLAT POINT ARE SCREAMERS. LIGHT RECOIL/BIG BOOM AND DEAD SLAM ACCURATE.....RIGHT TO POINT OF AIM. CORBON USES THE SIERRA 115 GRAIN H/P & IT'S EASY TO DUPLICATE THAT ROUND IFYOU ROLL YOUR OWN.THAT WAY YOU CAN PRACTICE WITH WHAT YOU CARRY....STAY SAFE,STAY ALIVE & COME HOME TO MOMMA;I
