Glock .357 Sig

My first video shooting the .357 Sig cartridge, using a Glock 32 .357 Sig barrel in my Glock 23. No, it's not really a Glock 32, I suppose, but the Glock 23 and the Glock 32 are essentially the same gun. With the .357 Sig barrel, this Glock becomes a Glock 32.

The fact that you can shoot 9mm 357 sig and 40 S&W is my primary reason for buying my Glock 23. I am very pleased with my purchase. Thank you Hickok45 for sharing this with the rest of the world.

[@donaldblankenship8057]

The shell expands to the size of a .38 shell upon firing. That work of stretching the shell gives the round much more bang for the buck.The .357 Sig round flies much faster and farther than any other common ammunition, nearly hitting Mach 2 out of the barrel. Being faster, it also has a much flatter, easier to aim, trajectory as aim points get longer. The Sig barrel is absolutely necessary. A normal .40 cal barrel cannot take the stresses. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention: the reason it can fly much much faster than other ammo is that drag goes down the faster it travels above Mach 1. That doesn't make sense, does it? But that's what they pay me big bucks to design aircraft. You don't want idiots to design them. This guy is no idiot. He's great!

I read a review recently where the .357 Sig outperformed the .45, especially penetrating things like car doors. The article said many agencies are going to the Sig for this reason.

[@hickok45]

I think air marshals carry special ammo that will not penetrate the wall of the aircraft. Not sure exactly what ammo it is, though. You are right; the biggest downside is the cost of the ammo. Not so much the cost to keep a box or two around, but the cost of training and practicing much could get very, very expensive.

Quick hint... if you are reloading 357 SIG you can make the sizing much easier and less trouble by resizing your empty cases in a .40SAW sizing die before you run it through a 357SIG resizing die...

As someone looking to purchase their first firearm here shortly I have found myself looking through your video archives for information. All of your videos seem to provide valuable insight. I have shot on several occasions at various ranges and always find myself gravitating and genuinely enjoying the Glock platform. Now I must decide if the .357 sig is a round I would like to own.

[@hickok45]

My thoughts are all over the place in all the .40 caliber videos I have posted. It's not a magic bullet or anything, but if it's a pathetic cartridge, there are thousands of police departments, competitors, and range plinkers who have not gotten this brilliant message yet. Guess it's a best-kept secret among people who actually use the .40. For people who don't have the option of CCW, it's not as much an issue, but gun carriers tend to be attracted to a substantial round in 9mm size firearms.

[@hickok45]

@mrsalesco46, The one on the first hillside in front of the pallets is 80 yards; the one on the far hillside in front of the railroad timber wall is 230 yards. You cannot see it from the shooting table. I have to back up to in front of the house on higher ground in order to see past the first hill. That's where we do all the long range 230 yards shoots.

[@TheSouthJersey]

Thanks for the video! Two of my friends became federal air marshals, they are ONLY allowed to carry .357 sig as their duty weapon. That, in addition to it being the caliber used by the secret service and home land security, I'm sold.

[@javiermartinezjr8849]

Lol ok glad the 40 cal project got scrapped it's just such a dumpy round,but a shaved down forty cal with a 9.38 super round with 50-60 grains,that's a hot round,just enough speed to take a heavy round out there but not enough to overpenetrate ,only held one never shot one,shot a 10mill once and 40 I imagine it's somewhere in between

This was a neat video where one of the most important aspects to me was watching a trained shooter with a brand new gun debug the traits in real time as we watch and you can see the analytical side working to figure out point of aim. In such a short time with relative few shots, the point of aim discovery process was already working. The fascinating part on this one is seeing the analysis in front of us.

everyones saying you cant find .357 sig, and i can find it with google instantly, and .357 sig was made to match the performance of a .357 magnum out of a 4'' barrel revolver, and its cheaper then magnum, so id say its a pretty good deal when you compare it to magnum prices, maybe yall dont like ordering online?

@taylorh5287, Yes, the stock Glock barrels in .357 Sig will interchange with the stock Glock .40 barrels.

[@hickok45]

@nepitolk0 , Not sure what "professional" means, but they are probably as good as Glocks, Springfields, M&Ps, or anything else. It generally just comes down to what a shooter thinks feels best and can shoot best. I tend to find the Beretta and the Sig more challenging to shoot well because of the double to single action trigger.

[@sjokolade7]

Thanks Hicko45! This is just the video I needed to make my final decision in purchasing one of the .357 barrels for my 3 pin older Glock 23. I wasn't sure if the older 3 pin Glock 23 models could hold the pressure. But it is clear that they do. I was thinking about getting the LWD .357 extended ported barrel for it to minimize the recoil a bit and gain a slight distance as well. Keep up the good shooting. I love my older G23 and I love to shoot to. I also, got the convert 40 s&w -9mm. 3 in 1gun

Hey Hick 45 very educational as always. I bought a gen4 G20 (10mm). I then bought 40cal,357Sig,6" 10mm barrel (for grizzlies here in s florida). I fig I bought 3 great glocks for price of one. Teaching is in your blood.

[@stealth12141]

Bottom line is ! FBI has stated many times over many years, decades that the 357 mag has had more one shot stops than any other cartridge bar non ! That said, the 357 dig is the next best thing, basically the ballistic equivalent. Nothing better for canceled carry. Just my not so humble opinion. Remember, if you can't react without having to think about it, it could cost you your life. So Practice Practice Practice !!!!!

[@frankcastle9691]

there is no "the best concealed carry" they all work, if i had to pick 1 pistol i would say the judge in 410 in the best close range pistol. remember that if you a shooting a very hot round at close range it could go through your target and hit something behind it that you dont want it to.

[@harrycallahan692]

The .357 Sig is nothing close to the ballistics to the .357 Magnum. The .357 Sig is a marketing gimmick....pure and simple!

[@Pabloman333]

You sir are incorrect.

[@M4A3]

@@harrycallahan692 the .357 SIG was made to mimic the 125gr 357 Mag at 1450 fps. My Glock 32, with Underwood 125gr Gold Dots averaged 1527 fps out of 6 shots. The 32 only has a 4.05" barrel, even from 33 with a 3.49" barrel, or averaged 1480 fps. You really should educate yourself before speaking.

[@harrycallahan692]

@@M4A3 With the advent of the polymer frame pistols, many manufacturers sought to create the best balance of power, controllability, and ammunition capacity. Enter the firm of Sig-Sauer who took the .40 S & W cartridge and necked the case down to .355 inches. The idea was to duplicate the power of a 125 grain .357 Magnum round in a semi-automatic pistol. Unfortunately their lofty goal was never quite achieved. The .357 Magnum Hornady 125 grain XTP bullet averages 1,500 fps and 624 ft lbs of energy while the 124 grain XTP .357 Sig round turns out 1,350 fps and 502 ft lbs. Things don’t fare any better for the Sig when the larger bullets are used, the 147 grain XTP round is traveling at 1,225 fps and 490 ft lbs while the 158 grain .357 Magnum Hornady XTP does better at 1,250 fps and 548 ft lbs. Don’t get me wrong, the .357 Sig is a good defense round, certainly better than the 9mm on any day. In a pistol with a high capacity magazine you certainly won’t be lacking for power and you could do a lot worse. In a smaller gun like the Glock 33 you have a wonderful little concealed carry piece with nine rounds in the magazine. Not too shabby partner but against the .357 Magnum the .357 Sig is still lacking, and that’s where the old revolver cartridge really wins hands down. The whole concept that Sig-Sauer was working towards was to match the Magnum, and that was never done which is why less and less departments are turning to it when they can go bigger with the .40 S & W. Getting down to the nitty gritty, the .357 Sig was a fantastic idea on paper, but like so many good ideas in concept in the real world it just didn’t pan out for the better when you can get the same size pistol in .40 S & W. Factor that in when you put it toe to toe against the .357 Magnum, which has a well deserved reputation as a manstopper, and it clearly loses in every category that matters. In power and performance the .357 Sig tries to be better than it really is, and while it is good it is not good enough to justify the claim of being equal to the .357 Magnum. Despite its age the .357 Magnum has the knockdown and the pedigree to justify its place in the realm of personal defense against this newcomer that is little more than a pretender to the throne.

@126lma , To further follow-up on that, a really hot, light fast round will usually print lower at closer (7-40 yards maybe) distances, but as you get on out there to 100 or farther, you might see just the opposite; the light, hot round will maybe not drop as fast as the slower heavier round, so then at maybe 150 or 200 yards, the light, fast round might print higher, of course. Lots of variables (barrel length, bullet weight, power factor, etc.)

Watched your more updated version of this review today and the upgraded camera and microphone are very noticeable. Personally a huge fan of the .357 Sig however, it does have its negatives. Price is one negative, and it takes time getting comfortable with shooting even if the .40 S&W is comfortable. Penetration is one added benefit for the cartridge as it will have better success engaging a threat through cover and, or concealment. As always good video.

[@sigma_the_enigma]

It is a way more explosive round than a 9mm. Hard hitting .357Sig is the best ever in my opinion for ankle boot back up carry.

[@TheSouthJersey]

In gel and on paper, the round is phenomenal. I agree with you on the price though, too pricey to throw a lot down the range. I hear so many guys compare the .45 ACP vs .357 sig and honestly, the ONLY plus to .45 is the round diameter. Wound channel damage is equally great with the .357 sig, barrier penetration in dry wall, autoglass and clothing is superior in .357sig also.

[@robkilcollins310]

The round "might" be, but with the abundance of 9mm ammo easily available at a much much cheaper cost, how much does balistic superiority matter when you can only shoot half as much? (I am a huge .357 sig fan so I'm not knocking this round in Any way, shape or form) but it's just not nearly as available or affordable as the venerable 9mm luger.

The S&W revolver this gun replaced had 250 round on it and had to be re-timed at S&W plus a new cylinder-advancer rod so I'm very pleased with the G32. .357 has some real 'pop' though for sure...!

[@Warterdesmanne]

67dodgepolara my 31 held up very well to 2000 plus before I went to the p320.

[@efrainmolina1278]

Love my sig 357 glock, best selfdefense round.

[@pant3ra647]

let's see the .357 sig at 230 yards hickok!! haha you're the man, lovin the video and the fact you got the conversion barrel. One of these days I'll get a 32 barrel for my 23 as well.

[@chouyi007]

God bless Jack Wilson!

[@dawonnejones2426]

Yes indeed he dropped that dude with 1 shot frm a sig 229 357 sig

[@stevelavalette6898]

Hickock used the slide release !

[@Bucko451]

That is much smarter than use the rack the slide method. Rack the slide on a series 70 and see what happens, NOTHING. They do not have the capability to pull back the slide to unlock it. But you are waaay cooler to use the tacticool slide rack, ask any tacticool Glock owner.

[@whataname01]

Hickock, you need to get your own show in the History Channel. Just like that pawn store guy.

[@boostimalaka1]

I believe Hickok is waiting for a Gen 4 Glock 38. The long wait is almost over for us .45 G.A.P. fans.

[@nunya7319]

I'm a Sigger ! LOL. Mines a model 33. But thinking of getting the full size. Thanks Hickok45.

[@catfishpursuit8884]

I love my Glock 33. Check out Underwood ammo.

[@43vert]

been wanting to buy a Glock 31 gen 4, good info

[@ashepp7]

I just picked up my new Glock 23 tonight and have been looking into all the cool stuff I can do with it. After watching this video, getting a .357 sig barrel is now higher on my wish list. Thanks hickok45!!

[@sirwhitecrayon2499]

These .357's hit hard... I can watch Hickok45 plink all day.

[@camp168]

The muzzle flash is indeed more pronounced!

[@yomom4202]

I love seeing him miss lol. It makes me feel better about myself

[@danheino7006]

Too damn funny

[@NovaPrime77]

I love the .357 Sig...but I love the 10mm more!

[@hickok45]

Yes.

[@matthewivers7383]

Would you ever review a 239 in .357 Sig? For all us Metal frame DA/SA Gents.

[@hardycoffman6896]

Matthew Ivers That’s my EDC gun!!! Love it!!!!

[@cctrans29]

Texas DPS and Texas Rangers official ammo.

[@amoredfist]

secret service use the sig aswell.

[@Christob13]

Air Marshals too

[@paulbyrne5022]

Never underestimate that .357 mag round. Stops any wild game on earth.

[@bigdaddy1325]

I have a 357 SIG conversion for my Glock 35. It was an awsome gun to begin with, now its GREAT! I have harvested 2 Michigan white tailed deer with it useing my own reloads and Lymans Devastator hollow point bullets. It did an awsome job. Ate right up to the bullet hole.

[@Rev_1776_]

I love my Sig P320F (full sized) .357 SIG!!!

[@connorlindsay7917]

same but I. compact, lil bugger packs a punch.

[@hickok45]

I've heard that, but when I study the two frames (Gen 4 Glock 23 and Gen 4 Glock 32) I cannot find anything different at all. Where exactly is the added reinforcement in the G32?

[@tyrs8]

In addition to adding the .357 sig to your weapon you can also go to 9mm with a lone wolf conversion barrel and 9mm magazines.

[@bloopy6166]

So you’re saying that one Glock can shoot 3 calibers?

[@johnnyz54]

It makes me feel better to see that a great shooter like Hickok45 struggled a bit getting it dialed in. Had he found a Glock 31 barrel for his Glock 22, he'd have had no issues at all. It's a fun round, flies faster than the .40 and has a bit more punch. US Secret Service carries P229s in .357 SIG.

[@deagle3513]

glock 31 all day every day

[@tonydavis20]

I got mine

[@Stephens1995]

deagle I got the 32

[@angelfernandez866]

G32 edc

[@shauntapp9940]

I love the sig

[@hickok45]

@73288 , Sure. I think the Secret Service carries it. It's a good round.

[@HerrFoobert]

In essence, weight is not the deciding factor, but velocity and time spent in the barrel is.

[@916fanatic1]

There is no way in hell a 9mm can keep up with the .357 sig in penetration tests. If you are looking for maximum penetration a .357 is the round for you. But that's the problem too, if you shoot someone with a 357 it will go through them and the 2 people behind them too. I'm talking about standard white box ammo not specialized defense ammo that mushrooms immediately.

[@916fanatic1]

jeffel80 I disagree, some do. I carry ball after the first 3 shots of fast expansion ammo because by then your enemy may be hiding behind a car or other object.

[@itsDarrell]

are you using your glock 23 mags?

[@Pabloman333]

He said he was, so I assume he did.

[@Glaubigen]

Thanks for winning me a drink! One of my fellow "gun-nuts' told me I had been doing drugs or dog food to think I could just drop a barrel in and go. I believe you can have two barrels and do the same work with one frame. 40SW for duty and personal defense, 357 Sig when I go after hog. Out here in southeastern Kansas they are a problem. Folks calling it quits, letting the animals run lose. Always like a challenge in the hunt, and if my service G32 can be converted that simple, why not?

[@Powerpickle68]

380 acp and 22lr can pierce car doors too. 357 mag revolvers weren't replaced because the round can't go through auto glass. Revolvers were replaced with semi autos for obvious reason...carry capacity.
