I am curious to the benefits of converting .40 barrel with a Sig357 (I imagine it fits the 40 magazine)
The ammo selection is worse and prices per box higher?I am curious to the benefits of converting .40 barrel with a Sig357 (I imagine it fits the 40 magazine)
Zeke, your post intrigues me. I just picked up my first .357 Sig pistol, an H&K P2000SK with both the .357 Sig and .40 barrels. The Gun is stamped .357 though. I have some Speer GD 125 coming in, but you make me want to try the Underwood. How is the CorBon in .357 sig by the way?The .357 Sig is my favorite carry round. A lot of people have never shot true .357 Sig ammo as it was designed which is 125 grains at 1450fps. There is only one place that I know to buy ammo that meets or exceeds this spec and that is Underwood and it will chrono 1500 fps. Corbon and Buffalo Bore get close but not quite there. Speer, Winchester Ranger, and Federal HST are good loads and not as weak as some others . They only claim 1350fps and they will test at that. The true .357 Sig will penetrate just about anything except the human body where it stops and dumps a lot of energy. The Secret Service uses it for good reason but recoil and cost keep it from being more popular with LE. I would love to know the exact loading used by the SS.It shoots very flat and the bottle necked design feeds very good. When buying ammo pay close attention to what you are getting and only judge the .357 Sig based on at least 1350 fps and only 125 grain ammo. The people claiming that it is just a funny looking nine and that it kicks less than .40 are not shooting the right ammo. This round in its true form is pretty much a secret to the general public because of wrong or lack of information about it.

In any ammo shortage you might find .357 Sig when you cannot find .40 (or vice versa.)I am curious to the benefits of converting .40 barrel with a Sig357 (I imagine it fits the 40 magazine)
The above picture looks like a grazing wound and is apparently taken after medical intervention had begun. As the recipient was shot by his own gun this seems highly probable and one could reasonably conclude that a standard 9 mm round would inflict the same damage if it coming from the same angle.
The .357 sig is a fine round but I doubt that it offers any significant advantage over .40. It certainly does come with higher costs to shoot. Supposedly TX DPS adopted it to defeat wind shields but greater barrier penetration hardly seems a positive characteristic for the defensive handgun of the standard citizen.
I just can't spell.M2, are you saying choreograph on purpose?
