If NES has taught me anything, .40 sucks and is for pussies, 10mm and 45 are the only calibers manly enough to carry in your semi auto.
I rarely if ever see 357 sig in stores 40 is there in droves and even 10mm has been pretty available lately
In general reading here....40 sucks and is a pussified round. But is ok for people to shoot 9mm and plenty of love for it here because 40 kicks too much. Whatever that means.
I carry the G32 357 sig with 124 grain, Nosler 1400+ fps, 600 ft/lb muzzle energy underwood ammo that i get for $20 a box of 20 rounds TMD. Most of the area around my house is bear country and its nice to have a CCW that would have ballistics similar to the 357 mag. and still be able to carry covered with only a tshirt on.
I also have a LW .40 barrel for the same gun that i shoot reloads out of. Those .40 kaboom reloads that we all hear about. Still waiting to blow it up. The LW barrel is just as reliable as the stock 357 barrel, never had an FTF, so if I had to carry it as a .40 I would. I don't reload the sig round....40 brass is easy to find on the ground. 357 not so much.
