After reading this and other threads on the .SIG round... I read mostly positive comments from OWNERS about the .SIG cartridge and yet the "gun gurus" continually push the 9mm as a comparison saying poo-pooh to the+/- 200 fps advantage of the .SIG.
Invariably you read... "While the .SIG cartridge has a very slight velocity advantage over the 9mm, its lower capacity, higher recoil..." Blah, blah, blah
Higher recoil? Load a 9mm bullet of the same weight to the same velocity in the same platform and recoil is no different.
Lower capacity? Yup, 18 rds. is very important if you plan on missing more than 15 times (the capacity of my .SIG)
More muzzle flash? Load a 9mm bullet of the same weight to the same velocity in the same platform (bbl length) with the same powder and flash is no different. If it is I haven't seen it.
How about 100% reliability / feeding in any platform from an unramped 1911, to Glock to Beretta or whatever platform you can dream up? Heavier bullets? Yup I resized 158 grain HP's (see pic) for my Sig which feed and function perfectly. I also have .SIG barrels in a Beretta 92X performance, 1911's, and of course Sig. I'll take a few less in the mag with an extra 200 fps and 100% reliability in any bullet weight in any platform any day over most other auto cartridges, regardless what Ms. Bambi or diminutive male officer / agent can handle.
Dateline 1960... Highway Patrol, any State.
New officer to commander... "Sir, that 4" .357 magnum has stout recoil, I want a softer shooting duty gun"
Commander,"Son, that's what we issue, I accept your resignation"
Dateline around 2000 on... Any agency U.S.A. Not the same
