.357 sig is WAY more expensive than 9mm or .40. Do what I did- I bought a Sig P229. It shoots BOTH .357 and .40 or 9mm. All that is required is a barrel change.
 
Up to 6 Romainian AK kits and 4 AR stripped lowers since the election.... Might take up the USP offer since my only hand cannon is a big ol clunky 92FS.

Lots of anti gun legislation being proposed out there! Get em while you can!

Long live the black rifle!!!!
 
.357 SIG best personal carry round!

I have a HK .357 sig compact but when I carry it I switch to the .40 barrel. All mags are interchangeable as well. Why? Because that .357 could cause a lot of collateral damage. Nothing like hitting the bad guy, but popping little Suzy in the head when it exits him!
 
Nothing stops a .357 SIG
Really??? I'm not doubting you since there are several different ammunition brands, and types within brands. Not being a firearm afficianado...the .357SIG is a relatively obscure round to me.

Where would it fall in a lineup with: 38Special, 40S&W, 45ACP, and 357Magnum?

Except your wallet. .357 SIG, like 45 GAP is a solution in search of a problem. Expensive, harder to reload than 9mm, 40 S&W, or 45 ACP.

Some salesman blew some DHS procurement weenie and got the deal. He can now say, "The Super-Duper Elite FFDOs and FAMs carry the uber-lethal .357 SIG."

And the FAMS and FFDOs can all waltz around super secret squirrel like with uber-lethal hand cannons, while maintaining deep clandestine cover while bypassing security.

Note to the group. Spend the money and try to find an AK, M16, FAL, G3, Galil or CMP Garand or Carbine.

Already got the M16A2 Bushmaster FTW! When 5.56 isnt enough I switch to the M14 and M1.
F**k collateral the Sig P226 with .357 Corbon loads ftw. Talk about hot loads.

In terms of what price power etc etc?
 
Using federal loads its roughly $10 more than 40 S&W and $15 more than 9mm. So yes more money but you get what you pay for. Shoot one and you will love it. I guarantee you will have a smile on your face after you squeeze a few off.

A wise man once said that Jack Bauer is the only person that HK doesn't hate. Get a Sig and thank me later.
 
In terms of feet per second I'd say its only second to the 357 magnum havent looked up speeds on that yet. The 45 is nice its not nearly as fast but has a lot of knockdown power. .357 sig is way better than the 38special and 40 S&W for these reasons. The .357 sig is a 40S&W case necked down to a 9mm bullet. So with the smaller bullet you get much more penetration and higher fps. 38 special has no room to be in this comparison. Now mind you, you can buy hot loads and all those rounds will shoot high fps but of them all the .357 sig is 2nd prolly only to the 357 magnum.
 
You talk Chip into some great new pay package for all of us???
I got my coupons comatted, didn't you? I told Chip I wanted a Barrett and a Matte Black cruiser and he sent me the coupons/vouchers, now I am driving in style and heavily armed!

P.S. I like my guns American, cars German and women Brazilian!
 
You go on autopia often PBR?
When you have one of these babies, detailing is everything. When the Mesa F/Os who work part-time at the carwash work on my airport car(BMW M5), I want to be sure they are doing it correctly. Even though it's my beater, it still has to look good!

If you're going to spend the money for a .357sig you might as well man up and go 10mm. I have a Glock .45 and with a simple barrel and mag change it becomes a difficult to handle 10mm.
