Why would you be screwed reloading 357 sig?I think I am love with this round. Just shot about 150 rounds yesterday at the range. I am pretty impressed. Although I think I am pretty screwed when it comes to reloading this round.
What do you consider a little more energy? .357sig is a lot more powerful than 9mm.Don't understand the appeal.
Its a little more energy... not enough to make a difference.
Everything else about it make it inferior to just running 9mm.
.357sig's recoil is different in a good way, you def feel it but it's very easy to manage if that makes any sense. I find it a lot easier to shoot than .40.The accuracy out of a glock 32. The felt recoil. The simple fact I could hit the target at 50 feet lol. Kinda why I am impressed lol

Oh and the muzzle flash
it's fun to shoot. i also dig. sometimes can find it for under $20 a box in which case worth it. the Sig elite brand 125gr FMJ is often a good value and pretty hot load.
simliar to 357 mag, it does benefit from a longer barrel. a G35 outfitted w 357sig barrel can generate some pretty absurd muzzle velocities. it's also very pleasant to shoot out of a G20. just takes a barrel swap since the 10mm is parent case for 357sig.
Buffalo Bore makes some pretty heavy loads but I think they make even heavier loads in .40 S&W.
I use to carry a Glock 33, I think its too expensive for what it is: a weak attempt at copying the 357 mag. You could go with a really hot 9mm and get the same ballistics, or just go all the way and get a 357 mag revolver.
There has been some "complaints" about BB lately with regards to .357SIG. Apparently they have been using standard 9mm jhp projectiles and not dedicated .357SIG which would have a slightly more rounded nose, for feeding. Just what I read on the Glock forums though
I love the Sig elite stuff, it's pretty warm. At 20 a box I grab 5-6 at a time. My last bulk remanufactured ammo was 129.95 for 500.
Underwood makes some HOT .357SIG loads. You can deff. Feel a difference there. I carry my G33 daily.
I carry a G33. Love the round, fire it at dusk. If you miss, the fireball will scare the shit out of them! Lol
I have a hanging metal disk stand. The .40sw swings the disk, the 357sig bent the disk 30deg, after hitting it at the 3 o'clock position
Pics or it didn't happen.
They've been out. Otherwise a .357sig conversion kit is always an option with the 320Want. When will the P320 come in 357SIG, sigh...
Who or what did it over penetrate?Good round for long range pistol shooting with a nice flat trajectory.
Down side is that it over penetrates like a mother. It's also expensive as hell to shoot. I say the 9mm is a better all around round
