Glock 32 .357Sig Opinion

[glockmaster]

Just wondering if anyone else has a G32 .357Sig and what they think about it.
I have had mine almost 2 years and just love it, i also purchased a G23 .40s&w barrel so that i can change calibers from time to time but i have heard alot of bad things about Kabooms with the .40s&w i like the .40s&w roung and i am debating on selling the G23 barrel because of these stories about the Kabooms, should i keep it or sell it. Any input would
be greatly appreciated

First off, Welcome to the board.

Second, I think that the whole "kaboom" thing has been blown way out of porportion, mainly by the people that don't like Glocks for some reason or another. Your chances of a major malfuction is just the same with another make or model as it is the the Glock .40. FWIW. If its a fairly recent make on the barrel, I wouldn't worry at all.

Personally I own a G20, and I have run some fairly stout handloads through it and, I've never had a problem.

Welcome to the board.

I have two glocks in .40 S&W 23 and a 27. The Kabooms are because the .40 glocks have an unsupported chamber. If you look at your spent brass you can see the bulge at the base were it faced the unsupported part of the chamber. For this reason I do not hand load for my .40 glocks. All the KB's came from reloads. I know people who do hand loads and they don't have any problems you just can't get carried away getting to hot. They also make special resizing dies for this very problem.

If you shoot factory ammo you will never have a problem I have put thousands of rounds through mine with no trouble.

Welcome to the forums, glockmaster! 8)

I'm not a Glock fan, but I have been following the issues. Glock kB!s usually stem from reloads and unjacketed lead bullets. If you avoid both you should be OK. There have still been a few issues with factory ammo, but they're not enough to worry about.

no problems with my G23. i've only used factory rounds through it also.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone and thanks for the great responses so far.
Looking forward to reading more.

I had a G32 and thought it was a great pistol

I liked it so much I got a G35 and a Bar-sto barrel to make a Pratical/Tactical in .357

Ditched them both as part of my caliber consolidation efforts

my 32c on the left, I love it, the only downfall is I got the comped version and it is louder than hell, but I have fired thousands of rounds through it with no jams or problems I can remember.
