Warning!!! Do Not Shoot 357SIG

[Oldnoob]

I like the round, love the fact most of 40s&w pistol can just drop in a barrel and good to go. Ammo price is probably the worse part. But is we look at this way, the more we shoot and buy, the cheaper this round will be in the future.

I just didn't care for the round the way everyone else it seems does. I bought a Sig Pro in .357SIG and just hated it- maybe it was the gun I disliked more than the round, but the ammo was spendy and so I dumped it. For the same money I prefer shooting .45ACP or for less money 9mm. I just don't see the need for it personally.

.357sig is a bad ****ing round.

still havent shot one

Since you can't handle the 40cal maybe just mayyyyyybe you should stay away from the .357sig.

reloads heck you got to try some factory stuff for the full power i suggest some magtech or sellier and bellot they are loaded decent

We had an IDPA night match a few months back, and one of the competitors was shooting a compact Glock in .357Sig. Suffice it to say, it was spectacular to watch him shoot.

Or the 9x25 Dillon

Here's a short video of my 9x25 Dillon G20LS, 90gr XTP @ 2050fps.

I hear if you grind up a 357sig, dilute it in water, then inject the solution directly into the blood stream, that the high will last even longer.

I've actually been considering getting a 357sig, probably actually from Sig, but not sure yet. Ammo prices aren't cheap, but they don't seem that much more expensive than .45 or .380, which I also shoot. The pistol I shoot the most though is in 9mm for several reasons, including ammo cost.

40 cal casing necked down to 9 mm, fast round fun to shoot

Sig did an awesome job on that round. A lot of highway patrol are using it because it goes right through a car door and has plenty of energy left over to ruin the day of the bag of meat behind said car door.
A buddy of mine got a CPO trade in Sig229 in 357Sig and it was like a fire breathing dragon with that muzzle flash, nice kick but not too much.
Awesome round.
Enjoy it, you've earned it.

No one has mentioned that the awesome muzzle flash will render you blind in a night-shooting scenario.

Most defensive ammo has flash suppressant in the powder. It's not the same flash as target ammo. It is a good idea to shoot your defensive ammo at night some time to find that out, though.

That's because it doesn't. First, the flash is much too dim to be blinding, and second, most of the flash is obscured from the shooter's vision by the gun. Also, the flash lasts for such a short time, it doesn't blind you like a flashlight would.

I had a glock 33 and it was f'ing sweet. It got stolen from my apartment awhile back. Bought the xdsc but never thought about getting the barrel. Maybe I'll look into it and get a 9mm too.

[Poohgyrr]

357Sig seems to be giving us basically the same results on the street as the famous 357 Magnum (125gr rounds), with a lot less recoil & muzzle lift. More rounds per gun load too. Great accuracy. Handloading is easier than we expected.

What's not to like?
