Most of the major rifle cartridges are designed with with the case being necked down. The only pistol cartridge I can think of off the top of my head that is necked down is the SIG 357 cartridge.
I remember when the SIG 357 cartridge was first introduced, they claimed a big benefit is the reliable chambering of the round due to the shape of the necked down cartridge. I don't know if that's true or not. Maybe, bullet shape is more of a factor than cartridge shape?
Therefore, my question is: why aren't more pistol cartridges necked down compared to the rifle cartridge?
