The 357Sig cartridge is a necked-down 10mm Auto casing just like the .40 S&W is a shortened 10mm Auto casing. The performance of a hot 357Sig will just barely...

Then you're referring to the Glock 32, not the Glock 19. The G32 is a .357Sig handgun in a G19-size package. Add $50 or so to the base price of $500-600 and it...
