The Glock 31 is a powerful, lightweight handgun that offers a needed solution for a more powerful yet portable .357 sig. Before the nineties, this caliber was not available with a portable handgun. If you wanted the power of a .357, you had to carry and maneuver a large, cumbersome gun. This led to situations that left law enforcement at a dangerous disadvantage more than once. Today more powerful rounds are available in portable, lightweight handguns, including the Glock 31.

Glock 31 Is a Solid Option For Long-Range Shots

Many gun collectors feel the need to add the Glock 31 to their collection because of the unique power for the size. Some people choose the Glock 31 as their first or only gun because it will undoubtedly get the job done when it comes to self-defense without taking up too much room. But arguably, that amount of power is not needed at close range, and it is more ideal for long-range situations. Glock has a reputation for accuracy, so some competitive shooters choose this model, but not for much more than a novelty. Cattle ranchers report that the long-range capabilities make it an easy choice for ranches in the west to deter coyotes and other predators that can be seen from afar in the flatlands.

The Glock 31 and the Glock 32 both shoot .357 sig and are compared by discerning buyers. The Glock 32 reportedly has a higher recoil and shorter trigger distance than the Glock 31, which may reduce the accuracy that Glock is known for. If this is an issue for you, consider upgrading with our Ghost Inc. trigger connector. Both guns are known for their power, and the differences are minor variations in measurements. Between the two, most gun buyers choose the Glock 31.

Pros and Cons of The Glock 31

The main pros of the Glock 31 are accuracy and power. This piece offers the perks of a much larger gun without compromising portability. It is as convenient as its 9mm counterparts, such as the Glock 17 or Glock 22. For self-defense, it will likely exceed the need for power in most situations. It also has a large magazine capacity of 15 while remaining relatively lightweight to handle and carry. This was the goal in the creation of the Glock 31.

The reported drawbacks or cons include increased recoil from the sig .357. This issue can be reduced with enough practice and training with the gun’s weight and the recoil. Another con is that the price of the .357 ammunition can be steep; this will reduce the amount of practice shooting and ammo storage for many.
