About This Firearm

The Glock 31 Gen4 is a polymer-framed striker-fired .357 SIG built for duty use. Glock has dropped it from the commercial range and the surviving listing sits under law enforcement, so a complete pistol is a used buy. Its magazine holds 15 rounds behind a 4.49-inch barrel, and three magazines came in the box.

The frame takes interchangeable backstraps, and the extended magazine catch reverses for a left hand, so the gun can be set up for either hand. The trigger breaks at 6.3 lbs. There is no optic cut in the slide and Glock never built an optic-ready version in this chambering, so a dot means milling or a replacement slide. The gun is 7.95 inches long, 5.47 inches tall and 1.26 inches wide at 26.1 oz, with a steel slide in Glock's nDLC finish over a polymer frame.

If you're cross-shopping, the Glock 32 Gen4 is the compact in the same cartridge, 13 rounds behind a 4.02-inch barrel at 24.34 oz. The Sig Sauer P320 Full-Size is heavier at 29.5 oz with a longer 4.7-inch barrel and a fire control unit that lifts out of the grip module. Neither one is easy to find as a new complete pistol in this chambering.

Best For

GOOD
Duty
Fifteen rounds, a service-length barrel and a magazine catch that works for either hand make this a plain duty pistol for an agency already standardized on the cartridge.
GOOD
Range/Target
A full-size slide gives the longest sight picture in Glock's .357 SIG line, and it weighs 1.76 oz more than the compact G32.
FAIR
Home Defense
Capacity and a short manual of arms are in its favor. A high-pressure bottlenecked cartridge is loud and bright indoors.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths
  • Three magazines shipped with the pistol, so a used gun often comes with spares.
  • The backstraps and the reversible magazine catch are frame hardware and not wear items, so a used gun still has them.
  • The slide carries the nDLC treatment Glock uses on its current pistols, which holds up to sweat in a duty holster.
Limitations
  • The sights are polymer, and a white outline rear is slow to find in poor light next to a steel night sight.
  • Ammunition choice in .357 SIG is narrow next to 9mm, and it costs more per round.
