I took the Glock 19 (9x19), Glock 32 (357SIG), and virtual Glock 23 (.40 barrel for G32) out last night. The G32 is new.
The first thing I did was stupid: I picked up a Glock 19 magazine (9x19) and put it in what I thought was the Glock 19. It was actually the Glock 32 (with 357SIG barrel).
I chambered a round and fired it. I first noticed something was amiss when I noticed the FTF. I ejected my mag, and noticed the case was bulged and ruptured. It was then I noticed it was the wrong caliber.
The round chrono'd at 982 fps.
Ok. For the rest of the day, I will RECHECK I the caliber printed on the barrel BEFORE shooting. These pistols are otherwise externally identical - besides the number printed on the side. Luckily, this was a low-power 9x19 round.
Anyway, here is the data, all from a 4" Glock barrel, shot from bench.
fields are: 'load: avg stddev'
9x19 DNL/PMP 115: 1062, 27.7
9x19 Proload 115+P: 1298, 10.6
9x19 Proload 124+P: 1171, 0.9 (!!!!)
.40 Proload 135: 1172, 27.5
.40 CCI/GoldDot 155: 1161, 10.7
357SIG Rem.125: 1337, 17.4
357SIG CCI/GoldDot: 1349, 12.8
