	.357 SIG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The.357 SIG cartridge uses a bottlenecked.40 SandW case crimped to the 9mm Luger bullet; this is why the 357 sig is not written as ".357", as it is not truly a.357 bullet but instead a standard 9mm parabellum (.3550").
		Another disadvantage is that because the 357 SIG uses a.355 bullet at higher velocities than other 9 mm cartridges, very few bullets have been specially designed for it, and the.357 Magnum bullets that are designed for the same velocity range cannot be used due to their diameter.
		The 357 SIG is a good police cartridge; however, it does not quite reach the performance of the venerable.357 Magnum with heavier loads (over 125 gr.) or even with typical commercial loadings in 125 gr.

	HandGunInfo.com: 357SIG: 357 Sig and 9mm Comparison
		In fact, the 357 SIG has gone a lot farther than the 10mm ever did (the 10 is a fantastic round, please don't misunderstand me), and the 357 SIG continues to slowly make new inroads and continue expanding in the market, despite all the naysayers.
		The short neck of the 357 Sig can be easily compensated for by using a firm taper crimp and possibly a light cannelure groove on high quality plated bullets, or a sealant/glue, or using slower powders like AA#9, or using a.3555 bullet diameter, which all but eliminate bullet setback and over pressure problems.
		The 357 SIG can be loaded for the recoil sensitive, for deep penetration or shallow penetration, for typical pistol blast or very loud and intimidating blast.

	Real Guns - Overthinking the 357 SIG....again - Part I
		The 357 SIG is a 9mm, bullet diameter.355".
		Nine years after its introduction, the 357 SIG is going strong, yet rarely does a book go into print today, reloading manual or historical reference, that does not conclude its description of the 357 SIG cartridge with some note of skepticism of the cartridge's usefulness, or ultimate survival as a commercial product.
		Remington would never suggest the use of this bullet with the 357 SIG.

	What good is the 357 Sig? - THR
		The 357 Sig generally has factory loadings mostly in the ballpark of 1350 fps, and a few loads that push to barely over 1400 fps.
		The 357 SIG is harder on the shooter and the weapon than the 9x19 (if you think a Glock 31 will outlast a Glock 17, you're deluding yourself).
		The 357 sig is good because it came in the 229 sport.

	.357 SIG? - TheFiringLine Forums
		The 125 Speer/Federal/Hornady 357 SIG loads are closer to the 158 than 125 Magnum revolver loads as far as penetration/expansion/stretch and tactical barrier penetration.
		I know the 357 Sig has devoted followers and is a good round, but I'm not convinced it will do anything better than the best.40 SandW or.45 ACP rounds, much less the 10 mm rounds.
		One difference I'm aware of: The SIG uses.355 diameter bullets, therefore, the excellent selection of.357 revolver bullets are not available to the SIG handloader (who must use 9mm bullets).

	Tactical Forums: .357 sig barrier penetration
		I am looking at 2 separate FBI tests of 357 Sig 125 gr Gold Dot compared to 3 different FBI tests of 9 mm 124 gr Gold Dot: the results are basically the same in terms of expansion and penetration depths.
		He didn't particularly like the 357 Sig from an engineering perspective and described their difficulties in designing and producing 357 Sig ammunition which consistently performs as well as their ammunition in other service calibers.
		In particular, he felt his company's 357 Sig loads offered no better performance than their top 9 mm loads and stated their.40 S&W loads were superior in every respect to their 357 Sig ammunition.

	Article:KKF 357 SIG in G&WLE
		My feeling has been and remains that the 357 SIG is not a cartridge for beginners or those content to fire their guns during annual qualification only.
		During a recent test of the Glock 31 357 SIG, the Federal 125-grain JHP averaged 1385 fps and the UMC 125-grain FMC 1383 fps.
		I had tested this particular armor against 357 SIG JHP and FMJ rounds fired from the G31 pistol and both had been stopped by it.

	If anyone is worried about having enough power with the .357 Sig. - 1911Forum
		The.357 Sig was developed to match the.357 Magnum in speed and power using a 125gr.
		The.357 SIG had just been released and law enforcement agencies from all over the country were there.
		The corbon load for the sig, while not a semi jacketed type is not bonded, so it should lose the jacket during penetration.

		The.357 SIG is a relatively new auto pistol cartridge developed in 1994 by Federal Cartridge and SIG Arms.

	357 sig question - Gun and Game Forums
		This was nessesary because the.357 sig headspaces on the case mouth not the shoulder(dumb IMO).
		The.357sig case was lengthened to provide more neck tension on the bullet so as to resist bullet set-back during loading or bullet creep from recoil.
		If the.357 Sig ever becomes unavailable, you can easily switch to the.40 by simply changing the barrel.

	.357 SIG vs. 40 cal - THR
		The best that can be said of the 357 SIG is that it equals the 9mm in terminal performance, although at the price of less ammunition capacity along with greater recoil, muzzle flash and wear on the weapon.
		As far as the 357 Sig "besting" the.40 in terms of hard barrier penetration, here is some data directly from Winchester's 2002 online LE catalog for their Ranger ammunition.
		The 9x19 is consistently delivers the same performance (terminal effectiveness) both in the lab and in actual LE usage as the 357 SIG--and without the negatives associated with the 357 SIG plus an increased capacity.

		Apr 23 2004, 06:24 PM Ammolab.com and Tactical Forums testing has both shown that the.357 Sig doesn't have any more effect than a 9mm +p round with the same bullet in terms of penetration and expansion.
		The.357 SIG caliber is a non-existent solution for a non-existent problem.
		Apr 21 2004, 01:02 AM.357 Sig is tougher to find than.40 SandW, and I prefer the numbers from the.40.

	Alphecca: .357 magnum VS .357 Sig
		.357 sig bullets being 125 grain, substituting 125 grain in the.357 magnum can tame the muzzle flip somewhat.
		The.357 Sig has not quite fully lived up to the promise of.357 Mag performance from an autoloader, especially with heavy bullets.
		That said, if you are mechanically inclined, a semi-auto in.357 sig could be very cool, especially a 1911 clone.

	CALIBERS -- 357SIG Advocacy
		Typical 357 Sig bullets have a diameter of.355 as opposed to the 357 Magnum with its.357 bullets.
		Although the SAAMI specs from a 357 Magnum test barrel is 1450 fps, a typical 4" 357 Magnum often generates about 1350 fps, which happens to be the same velocity as the 357 Sig caliber from a 4" barrel --- See Attachment 6.
		The velocity increase from a 4" to a 4.5" 357 Sig barrel is dramatic.
