Not to rain on the parade, but my best friend carried a Glock 33 for several months. He eventually sold it because even ball ammo was pretty pricey and the selection was very poor, esp carry loads. And this was in a good sized city, not a rural town.
Let's go over this well trodden ground again.... the 357 sig is a 21st century caliber. The best way to find ammo for it is to use a 21st century method - the Internet!!!! If you have computer skills/ access ( which you must to post here ) & a credit card, the 357 Sig possibilities are substantial. I have shot 54 different loadings and still have a ways to go if I want to try them all ... here's my list:

& I recommend Reed's and CNC as very good ammo!
Buffalo Bore is also now making loads!
There is practice ammo that is not much price difference than a .40
Georgia Arms
master Cartridge
Wagner Acuswage
I have heard good things about Precision Cartridge although I have not personally tried any ( Yet )
Lawman, American Eagle, Fiocchi, Winchester are a little pricier but all good stuff.....
By the way, I really really like my G31. I have used it to shoot GSSF matchs and one IDPA match. Never ceases to amaze me how consistantly accurate it is.....
