So... I've got a good lead on a G33 right now, and I'm thinking I'll be using it as my hiking gun. Now, I've done "some" research on .357 SIG in the past, but not too much. I'm looking around at Double Tap's heavier bullet options, and they look pretty good. The 180gr is advertised at 1050 fps @ 441 ft/lbs, and the 147gr is advertised at 1296 fps @ 550 ft/lbs. Both from a 4.5" barrel. What thinks you? The 180gr has a darn good sectional density, and should penetrate well, as should the 147gr. Would you guys recommend anything else? The intent of this is to have a cartridge that is capable of anything the NC woods have to offer (tweakers and dogs being the most likely, but also the occasional black bear if I ever started hiking up in the mountains).
And before anyone get's caught up in the ".357 SIG aint no .357 Mag"... I'm not looking for .357 Mag performance. I'm just looking for a decent .357 SIG option.
Thanks for any input!
