Anyone got anything to say on .357 Mag VS .357 SIG?

I wouldn't buy a 357 sig, personally.

Great round but overpriced and hard to find.

The design of the ammunition makes it super reliable in a semi auto pistol but who cares if you don't have ammo to feed your gun.

Anyone got anything to say on .357 Mag VS .357 SIG?

One is a rimmed straight wall case revolver round and the other is a rimless with shoulder semi-auto round. The .357 Sig was designed to try and replicate the killing performance of the .357 revolver round consisting of a 125gr bullet out of a 4" barrel. At the time there were very poor records kept by the FBI and the feeling was that this was the most efficient self defense load. The .357 Sig comes close to this performance but does not quite live up to the hype around it back in the mid 90's. Still, it is a good round for self defense. Come back to today where the prevailing thought is that heavier bullets do a better job of stopping an attacker. Only problem is that you are very limited the bullet weights you can load in a .357 Sig. But there is a huge variety and variance of bullet styles and weights you can load in a standard .357 revolver round.  The .357 revolver round can shoot from 100gr up to 180gr bullets. And there are some experimenting with even heavier bullets. Standard loadings include 158gr JHP loads that are excellent self defense rounds. And you can load them from mild to wild. Anyone can shoot a .357 with .38 Special rounds in it. Recoil is mild and manageable even for the ladies and those who are recoil sensitive.

The .357 Sig round is nothing but the .40 S&W case necked down to .357. So you cannot fit more .357 Sig rounds in to a magazine than you can the .40 S&W. So why not shoot .40 S&W over the .357 Sig? Because you can get a larger variety of heavier bullets in the .40 S&W. The only real advantage is the .357 Sig does not recoil near as much as the .40 S&W and is much more controllable for follow-up shots. Otherwise the prevailing thought is heavier bullets stop better.

I know of no revolvers that can fire the .357 Sig round. But there are a couple of semi-autos on the market that can fire the .357 revolver round.  One was mentioned already, the Desert Eagle. The other is a custom 1911. Both are very expensive.

Take your pick.

I do have a .357 SIG semi-auto.  But I made sure to get one that can easily be changed to .40 S&W by a simple barrel change.  Got a spare barrel.  First time out I shot a box of each.  I noticed it was actually easier to shoot the .40 than the .357 sig.  To me, the .40 felt more like shooting .45 in a 1911.  Didn't notice heavy recoil and was a little more accurate than the .357.  The .357 sig felt like a hopped up 9mm.  Little more snappy and a little more loud.  A little harder to control but it sure did put a smile on my face 

Another one for 686 Don't waste your money on a Taurus or other clones. You might even get a retired security guard or corrections one on the cheap. Damn things last forever.

I'm  now looking for one, too. I know WGS sells retired security guard revolvers for a decent price and I think they are .357s. Just don't recall the model. Will have to check them out today! :p

+1 on the Python.  Bought one 20 years ago.  Still have it and will never sell it.  Talk about a smooth action...

i have a Ruger GP100 with 6 inch barrel.  my favorite handgun that I own.
great .357 revolver
accurate, reliable, and rugged.  just like the Ruger slogan.  built like a tank.
will probobly last a lifetime, and then some.

I've also shot my friends Colt Python
also a great revolver
maybe a smoother trigger than the GP100
but then my friends gun is a lot older so a lot more rounds thru it than mine
but the python has lasted over 20 years, no problems according to my friend.

357 is a great personal defense/HD gun.
and as mentioned before, can shoot .38 and .38+p loads.
shooting with 38's is so easy on the arms and the ears.   

WGS had 2 used .38 special and 1 .357 S&W revolver and 1 used Taurus model 65 (.357). $350 each.  They aren't pretty  (and not even cleaned) but are supposed to go "bang" everytime you pull the trigger.
