.357 SIG...any one carry or shoot much anymore?

Last week I purchased Gold Dot for $23 for fifty and Lawman TMJ for $17 for fifty.

I've never heard of Target Sports USA...thanks for the heads-up...I scrolled through many of their selections and will probably be using them in the future!

I have never heard of them either but with free shipping they are competative with a couple of the other sites I use for sure.

I must. It is our duty weapon. Sig 229.

I always wanted a 229 in .357 Sig. To my knowledge it was the first and only gun specifically designed to withstand sustained .357 sig usage.

If you look at the ballistic tests, the 10mm has a tendency to overpenetrate.

No such thing as over penetration.

Buy all the 50 round boxes of LE ammo you find at a decent price, Federal and Speer are cracking down on dealers that sell the LE boxes to folks without letterhead or a badge. They need their $24-26/20 rounds from the general public.

As a former volunteer EMT of 24 years...never seen a 'through-n-through' wound...except for a body part like a hand or arm...even a thigh wound doesn't go clear through if it's centered.

357Sig is similar to 10mm in the fact that it was designed for "full power" loads not the watered down anemic loads which are usually what manufactures load their ammo for. 357Sig was designed to replicate 357 magnum velocities and energy from a 124/125 grain bullet in a semi auto firearms for higher capacity magazines versus a revolver.

I don't have a 357Sig yet, kind of wanted to wait until I started reloading to get into another caliber as I've had other things here recently that I've wanted more. However since I have several 40S&W Glocks it would be easy to just get a 357Sig barrel and swap it in and out as needed. IMO, 357Sig has it's advantages when loaded to "full power" specs, mainly muzzle energy, however most people aren't concerned with that these days (but that's an argument for another day).

You also may find that you shoot the .357 Sig a little more accurately.
I do, but don't fully understand why this is true.
