The Glock 32 is a self-loading pistol in .357 SIG caliber . The manufacturer is the Austrian company GLOCK Ges.mbH
Like other Glock models, the Glock 32 is also available as a Glock 32C (Compensator). The compensator is an integral part of the weapon construction. Due to the compensator bores eroded in the barrel and the extension of these bores through the slide, part of the gases that expand when the shot is fired is diverted upwards, which reduces the rifling of the weapon as part of the recoil. The disadvantage of the compensator constructions is that the gunner can be blinded by the muzzle flash, which is partly directed upwards - especially in night situations - and thus the use by the military, police etc. is only possible to a limited extent.
