Blue label glock 33

Zorros · Feb 10, 2018

If you could buy this new for $400, would you...for concealed carry. Would you get 3 or 4 generation and why? I am familiar with the g27, but have decided against a drop in g33 barrel for EDC. Now, i carry the 27 or a shield .45. Rarely, a shield 9. Would like to hear your thoughts. Have read older threads on this forum.

I’ve got one on consignment at A1 uniform......3 mags, clip draw holster, and ammo(target and SD)......same price

Reminds me I got to drop the ammo off to Greg for the gun

Only if you feel like adding a different caliber to your ammo choices.

The Baby Glocks don't fit me at all , but they work for many/ most .

I like the .357Sig , and aparently you do also . I would probably be more open to a conversion bbl, but that's me . The naysayers would point out that 9mm +P+ closely approaches .357 power , albeit with 115gr vs 125gr .

My version of ultimate Glock Pocket Rocket is a G29sf in 10mm . Slightly larger, but fits my hand perfectly . * To Me * a Baby Glock is just too big for actual pocket carry , and * for Me * the G29 works just great as IWB/ belt .

FYI, there is a company called GeePlate that just came out with a new magazine base plate for the subs that make it the ultimate carry gun.

I wasnt aware of the 29. Slightly thicker and higher than the 33. Ok with the higher, thicker starts to add up. But odd the slightly thicker 27 is more comfortable iwb than the shield 45, which like the 27 disappears. Have never shot a 10mm nor a sig .357.

StantonCree · Feb 10, 2018

The sig isn’t terrible and a fun range gun but not a 500 rounds a trip gun.....more like a 50/100 round a trip gun

Zorros · Feb 10, 2018

That’s ok. My range trips are usually frequent and 100 rds or less. I have gotten use to $189/1000 delivered 9mm, $259/.45 and $220/.40. Guess i won’t see thatin .357 sig.

Looking at about $320-360 per 1k

Always happy to meet people at Continental if I'm heading over. Got a Glock 20c/31c/32c in those calibers. Been needing an excuse to go try out my new 27c.

Biggfoot44 · Feb 10, 2018

"Wimpy" 10mm loads are essentially standard .40s&w . Mainstream "full power" 10mm similar to shooting short bbl medium frame .357 mag . Heavy handloads, or boutique specialty loads are rather brisk , but what you'd want for a gunfight with a large angry bear .

Holy moly. Until 25 yrs ago i didnt own a 9,and bought a p226 after trying many 9s, to shoot less expensivly than the 45s i liked and only shot. But i suspect 1000 rds of hardball will last a long time. I gripe a lot, so I will add that buying any Hand gun in md is trying. Fees, locks and multiple visits. Ok, no more compliants.

Zorros · Feb 10, 2018

Am a member at continental. Used to shoot there a lot. Took the handgun instructors course there 17 years ago. Like a lot of the people there a great deal. Some have been there 25 years. You seem like a glock fan ( or a wholesaler). We have. 42,43 and 27. The 27 since the late 90s. The others are, of course, recent.

Just a Glock fan, I collect the Gen3 C models only, I started collecting the Gen4 C models but it started to get excessive, though my wife would say "more excessive." I'm in the process of having a copy made of the G35c which Glock only made 2 of and then turning a 17 into 17.5c which will function like a 17 but have the slide cuts/barrel cuts like an 18c.

Here's my latest one off.

I started a thread about splitting a case of 500 or 1000 .357 SIG, but am negotiating with someone on 1500. Would you be interested in splitting?

i had a glock 33 gen 3 and sold it after a few idpa matches. one thing i did wrong was add an extended slide release on it that i accidentally kept engaging.

in hindsight, i have a g32, a 23 and a 19 and those are really the perfect size. a full grip without having to add one of those grip extensions, which by the way just make the grip as long as a 32/23/19 anyways. if it's too heavy, just download it to the g33 capacity.

that said, the g33 was super accurate even with the short sight radius. i love the 357sig caliber. a hotter 9 but not so much hotter so recoil is very manageable. and if you buy case qty's online, ammo isn't that much more than the hotter 9's.
