357 Sig

[C.G.]

My two favorite handgun rounds are 9mm and .357 Sig. One negative about the .357 Sig is that it has a much larger flash signature at night time than 9mm.

There is a youtube video of several different brands of Sig .357 ammo being fired at night.....rather large flash.....but, there was at least one loading that had less flash compared to the others. Don't recall which load it was

Should point out if they're large, compact, or sub size.

can you go to walmart and buy it right now ? for $15/50 ???

Nope you can't but I don't care because I shoot enough of it that I buy it in bulk online.

Even if wal mart had it I wouldn't buy it there. I friggin hate that place.

Shooting .357sig with any regularity is a great excuse to start reloading, doesnt cost me much more than to reload 9mm or .40.

Never shot .357sig before purchasing a Lone Wolf G31 barrel for my G22 in Oct, found a reputable source for "once fired" .357sig brass (in this case it appeared to literally be once fired, ordered 1000 cases for $70 all were headstamped Speer... probably sourced from a LE range) http://www.topbrassreloading.com/pro...brass-casings/

And viola, add small pistol primers, powder of your choice and 124gr .355cal (9mm) bullets and youre cranking out standard - stout .357sig for approx the same price as reloaded 9mm or .40.

Love the cartridge btw, shouldve bought that conversion barrel long ago.

Very first semiauto I shot was a Sig Sauer P229 DA/SA, Secret Service issued. A secret service agent was at the range the first time I went there with my first handgun and he let me shoot his agency issued gun in exchange for shooting my "cowboy gun" (Ruger Vaquero)

To this day I shot it better than 9mm and 40 SW. And it was nicer than any handgun I have fired

The .357 Sig has a reputation of being more accurate then either the .40 or 9mm

Shoots very flat. I'm going to pick up a g33 for carry. And reloading is key for practice.

I so want a G33, but I don't want a gun that fat. I wish they made a single stack, like the PPS, or if someone just made a 357 barrel for the .40 PPS.

Picked up a .357 sig conversion barrel for my G35 recently. Had no experience with the round previously but so far I'm liking the shooting characteristics.

May I ask where you got the barrel and how much it cost? I have a G35 that I'd like to shoot .357 Sig with.

Thanks.

I found it locally over at Glockmeister in Mesa, Az. They stock the Storm Lake barrels and I have 3 of them now (a couple of 9mms and the one .357 Sig). They're a bit pricey but all three have turned out to be not only completely reliable but also total tack driver's to boot. I think I paid around $150.00 each for the two (bare) stainless 9mm barrels and about $180.00 for the .357 barrel which is blackened stainless. I would have preferred just the bare stainless but the blackened was all they had. If you shop around on line, though, you can find them cheaper. I've seen the Storm Lake .357 barrels on both Midway USA and Brownell's for $140.00 - $150.00. They carry all the other brands as well (Lone Wolf, BarSto, etc.).

It's not fun to reload.

It is just like any other bottleneck cartridge. No worse than .223 or 30 Luger.

My wife has the G32 and loves it very accurate with plenty of HP
