357 SIG is the perfect pistol round for personal protection, as long as a person doesn't have a weak grip or bad form. 357 SIG expands reliably, penetrates deep, delivers a lot of energy on target, at 50 yards it still has the velocity and energy of a 124 grain 9mm at the muzzle. It has a bottle necked casing so it feeds and extracts more reliably. I don't care what anyone says, for people that know how to properly hold and shoot a pistol it has everything you'd want from a self defense round. 540 efp at 1,400 fps with 13+1 capacity, that's pretty dang good.

[@rifleshooterchannel208]

I’ll agree with all of your points besides the theory of the bottleneck round being more reliable. There’s really no data to back this up and the neck on the .357 Sig is very short with very little bearing surface and you better hope the factory applied a hearty crimp (be it taper or roll) at the factory because I have seen even Gold Dots set back after a single chambering.

A friend of mine is crazy about 357 SIG. I thought he'd grow out of it. To be fair he and his father are both law enforcement and will argue for hours about 40sw and 9 mm. Both would agree with you. It's a hot little round

[@jorgesolis9468]

[@sinisterthoughts2896]

The problem with the round is it isn't "better" enough to warrant people to switch to it from 9mm or 40. And the price of those rounds, especially 9mm, are just too low to compete with unless the cartridge performed magic. So unless somebody makes a round that can file your taxes, fix your marriage and stop a platoon in one shot, it will be very difficult for it to compete on the market.

It amazes me to no end that .357 sig has fallen out of favor. I dont think I've ever seen a poor performing round in the caliber. Worst I've seen was the hornady custom 147 grain and even that had some merit as a woods round given the deep penetration.

Another great test, Brian! I don't shoot the 357 Sig and if I weren't so old & broke, I'd probably get one! It's a very impressive caliber and the more I see of it the better I like it! Ok, not enough to give up my 10mm but still, always impressive! I still believe Marshall & Sanow regarding fragments: those that stay in the wound track do not contribute to wounding while those that make it out if the wound track do. So while losing material in this case all or most of the frags do stay in the wound track, the damage is still impressive! I don't think too many calibers can best the 357 Sig and honestly can't understand why is isn't more popular than it is. It is, without doubt one if the best carry rounds available! Cheers, jc

One of these days I hope to run up on two pistols and ammo for each, one in .357 Sig and one in .38 Super. After all this time you would think I would have crossed paths with a .357 Sig pistol but not yet! Nor have I seen a single box of ammo in the caliber. And I think that sucks!!! Sadly, I have not seen a pistol chambered in .38 Super in something like twenty years nor any ammo in about as long. But here's the kicker. Way back when, it was not unheard of to find 125-135grn JHP ammo for the .38 Super that clocked in at almost exactly the same velocities that the .357 Sig does today. There was one other difference when it comes to the .38 Super as the only pistols I've ever seen or owned, and I owned several in my younger days, were to be found only in the 1911A1 or its clones. When it comes to pistols and ammo that I've heard of but never seen in person only the .30 Super Carry equals the .357 Sig when it comes to apparent Unobtanium. Or so it seems to date. I really enjoyed this video! Keep 'em comin'!!!

I'd have no reservations about going back to that round if necessary.

[@nicholasroberts9618]

357Sig is the best, most optimal semi-auto cartridge available. 40S&W and 10mm are good too but the 357Sig, properly loaded, is the best. 9mm is a garbage round for amateurs and people who can't shoot and the reason why they give it to law enforcement and the military. The old Cor-Bon was great, the new stuff is nothing special and all velocities are way down. Ive been running Underwood 125gr Gold Dots, then 124gr Noslers and now their "new" 124gr XTP ammo, however Buffalo Bore 125gr and Double Tap 125gr 357Sig are all great too. The Gold Dots #54234, 6 petal, have a slightly higher velocity @1375fps than their "918" 5 petal load and are an ok substitute, the 357Sig HSTs and Golden Sabers are worth the cost being they are all underpowered and do not perform anywhere near the Underwoods, Buffalo Bores and Double Taps.

[@ToolsandTargets]

@@user-dt8xy7ig2d That's a tough one. I think I would say .357 Sig is more of a snap where the 10mm is more of a boom if that makes any sense. Where 10mm can have a heavy and have to muscle it under control kind of feel, 357 Sig can have a "what the &*%$ just happened" or "disorienting" kind of feel with real hot ammo. Both can be a handful so it really is almost a toss-up.

[@user-dt8xy7ig2d]

Frag-spansion I like the term. Good test and commentary. That is some nasty ammo there. 357 SIG CorBon is not messing around, good stuff. Definitely a good pick there. Hopefully the newer ammo would perform the same. Watermelons 🍉 and shaving cream beware lol 😂. Unfortunately don’t have anything in 357SIG. Thanks for sharing and be safe. ⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸👊

@@ToolsandTargets Yeah, I haven’t shot it yet. Just got doing ammo speed testing on my 10mm and 4.6X30mm PDW’s

The .357 Sig earned a stellar reputation for one shot stops when it came out in 1994. The Texas DPS was having failures to stop with the Sig Sauer P220 .45 ACP. They switched to a different load and it didn’t solve the issue. They adopted the .357 Sig and it caught on with other Law Enforcement agencies. A video of a NC Trooper on a traffic stop took one quick shot on the driver and he dropped like lightning!

The problem is most have gone away from it now. The VA State Police here are the last ones using it and they are being heavily pushed to move to 9mm.

@@ToolsandTargets I remember the Glock Rep trying to make a sweet deal back in 2006 for trading our G19 for the G38 .45 GAP. I wanted the 10mm or .357 Sig. Because of budgets and ease of training with the Glock 19. The department wasn’t switching over. I know Texas DPS, New Mexico State Police, Delaware State Police, North Carolina, Kentucky State Police and Virginia State Police were the Major agencies that issued them. The Secret Service did issue the .357 Sig to Agents.

Hey Tools, any chance of you doing the 185 grain and 200 grain speer gold dot loads in 45 acp?
