Glock 31 Review - In the early 1990s, several calibers emerged that challenged the 9mm as a semi-automatic pistol. One of these, the .357 Sig, is the caliber of choice for the Glock 31 pistol. The Glock 31 is the company's product for high-speed shooters or long-range pistols. The G31 also comes with a large magazine, making it a great tool for self-defense or duty.
The infamous 1986 FBI Miami shooting was a watershed in law enforcement history. Eight FBI agents armed with pistols and shotguns engaged two heavily armed bank robbers. In the gunfight, followed by heavy fire from federal agents using Roger Mini-14 semi-automatic rifles, two agents were killed and five others wounded. The two bank robbers were shot multiple times later, but both were able to continue firing, contributing to the increased casualty rate for law enforcement.

After the shooting, the FBI and other government agencies began an era of new, more powerful weapons.

Gun Review: Glock 31 Gen 4 .357 Sig
An attempt by Sig Sauer and Federation Ammunition to duplicate the .357 Magnum ring in the pistol cartridge resulted in the new .357 Sig. The Federal .357 Magnum 125 hollow-point, grain-sheathed bullet produces 575 pound-pounds at the muzzle, at 1440 feet per second—better than the speed of sound. The Federal's new .357 Sig 125 bead-coated hollow point ring, on the other hand, produces 506 foot-pounds at 1350 feet per second. The high velocity of the .357 Sig not only translates into energy delivered to the target, but also gives it a greater than nine millimeters trajectory and .38 Special.
Glock 31 is Glock's entry into the .357 Sig market, which is indeed a niche market but has a dedicated following. The G31 is about the same size as the Glock 17, the original Glock was 9mm, as the difference between 357 inches and 9mm was only a matter of 0.06mm. The Glock 31 is 8.03 inches long, 5.47 inches high, 1.0 inches sliding width, and 1.26 inches overall width. Both Glocks have a barrel length of 4.49 inches. The Glock 31 weighs just one ounce more than the empty Glock 17.
The Glock 31 is a striker-fired pistol like the other Glocks. Like traditional semi-automatic pistols, the trigger mechanism has no hammer, allowing for a smoother and more stable trigger pull under clothing. The new pistol also integrates Glock's safety action system. The system, standard on all Glock pistols, uses three built-in safety pins: the safety pin requires finger pressure on the trigger to fire, the safety pin prevents erratic movement of the firing pin. and drop protection. If it is to prevent the gun from firing in the event of a fall. However, like all Glocks, it lacks manual safety.
All of this means that migrating from the Glock 17 to the Glock 31 platform requires a new shotgun and ammunition. In most cases, the same holster can replace a handgun and accessories like weapon lights and magazine cases can be transferred to the Glock 31. The Glock 31 uses the same manuals. weapons to operate, resulting in less training time required to switch. The biggest training problem is the increase of the .357 Sig ring, which is much larger than the 9 millimeter round.

The .357 Sig caliber did not really succeed in the market, as pistols contained in the .40 Smith & Wesson and 9 mm ammunition with better bullets dominated the civilian and law enforcement markets. However, the fact that pistols are still being produced in caliber - even by Sig's competitor Glock - is proof that the need for cartridges persists. For those who prefer the higher speed, smoother runs, and more power of the .357 Sig, there's the Glock 31.
