which 357 sig round for personal defense?

[CZ223]

That pretty much says it all. What do you guys carry for your defense rounds.

My current .357Sig load is the Winchester Ranger 125 grain - flies @ 1350 fps and hits with a good 506 ft. lbs of energy.

My next box of defense ammo for the .357Sig will be one of the following:

1.) Corbon Traditional JHP 110 grain .357Sig @ 1500 fps / 575 ft. lbs.

2.) Double Tap Ammunition GDHP 115 grain .357Sig @ 1550 fps / 614 ft. lbs.

3.) Corbon Pow'R Ball 100 grain .357Sig @ 1600 fps / 568 ft. lbs.


4" barrel for all of those numbers. Gotta love that .357Sig!

I'll second the Winchester Ranger SXT. It has outstanding terminal ballistics, and at 1350 fps, also the same recoil characteristics of FMJ practice ammo.

Fun fun round

I love the Ranger SXT ammo. I have never had one issue with the SXT's. Overall through all of my training with each one of my handguns, I have not had one failure or one hangfire. The ballistics on these rounds are very impressive as well. I trust them enough to protect my life with them.

Corbon 115gr @ 1500FPS 575ft/lbs (According to the box ) out of my Steyr M357

Would love to see Federal produce some in the HST line-up!

I load mine with 125gr Gold Dot's for on and off-duty, same as Aroostook County S.O. and the Maine Warden's Service. I believe it is pretty much the standard duty load for most dept's that carry .357sig.

 

[AK103K]

Speer 125 grain Gold Dots for me too.

 

[Ginny]

SPEER GOLD DOTS

Yup ... me too! I carry 125gr. Speer Gold Dots on duty and off.

Sometimes 230 grainers in my Glock 30 if I'm in the mood for the .45

 

[DonGlock26]

I use 125gr. Golddots in my P229.

125 gr. GDs loaded by Double Tap here and sometimes 147 gr. GDs by DT.
