how is the G33 recoil with full power loads?

Recoil isn't that bad....but you definately feel the "Boom" more if that makes sense.  I do NOT like to shoot my 33 more than a box at a time.  MUCH prefer the Glock 26 I also have.  



The 33 has pretty good blast..snappier slide action..you can tell it has more balls than a 26 in 9mm.  



Not my fave platform for .357 Sig.  Much prefer shooting my H&K USP Compact or P2000SK in .357 Sig than my Glock 33.

I carry a 33, but don't often practice with it any more.  Damn thing is too loud to use at the range if any other humans are about.  Recoil is not bad, but noise is among the loudest you'll ever experience.

Best thing to do with a 357 is load it with blue dot and shoot at night or indoors.  People really run for cover then.  Flame thrower that sounds like a cannon.  Very, very kuuuuul.

I have a G27 w/ a .357 Sig barrel in and the recoil is not bad at all.  It is more then a 9mm but nothing that is not manageable.

I knew there was a reason I don't use Blue Dot.

Definately crisper than my 21 or 34.  I liken the 21 to a slow push and the 33 to someone hitting the barrel with a hammer.  short and crisp, and loud, but not too bad
