GLOCK 33 Shooting Review: My .357 SIG One Night Stand
About this video
Colion reviews the Glock 33 chambered in .357 Sig, focusing heavily on the round’s recoil characteristics and shootability. He describes his initial surprise at the round’s ‘poppy’ recoil compared to 9mm, but explains that he grew accustomed to it over time. Colion concludes that while he enjoyed shooting the platform and was impressed by its performance, the high cost of .357 Sig ammunition makes it difficult for him to justify as a long-term investment.
Key takeaways
- Colion characterizes the .357 Sig round’s recoil as ‘poppy’ and stout, but less snappy than .40 caliber, and notes it becomes manageable with practice
- Colion reports the Glock 33 handles the .357 Sig round well and is accurate from a combat perspective, particularly enjoyable for rapid fire
- Colion argues the high ammunition cost of .357 Sig makes the platform hard to justify despite his positive shooting experience
