Glock 31 / 32 [Automatic Pistol]:

The Glock 31 is an adaption of the Glock 22 that fires the .357 Sig round instead on the .40 S&W cartridge. The .357 Sig casing uses a necked down .40 casing and gives a comparable performance to the .357 Magnum round. On intersting fact is that the Glock 31 can use the barrel of the .40 S&W Glock 22 and the Glock 22 can use the .357 Sig barrel of the Glock 31.

The Glock 32 is a similar adaption of the Glock 23 and barrels are interchangeable between the two weapons. It sacrifices two rounds compared to the Glock 31 for a smaller shape.

The Glock 31 and 32 magazines are interchangeable with the magazines of the Glock 22 and Glock 23. Due to the higher performance, the .357 Glocks are becoming popular with Law Enforcement. Magazine capacity can be upped by two more rounds by adding a special floorplate to the magazine. This item is made by Glock itself, and can be purchased by law enforcement agents and the like.
