Personally, I find a Glock 17 in .357 SIG to be about the best combo available (one lives in my nightstand), but you couldn't teach 75% of active duty personnel to shoot that cartridge well.
Agreed, but that would be the Glock 31, except in a REAL Caliber
I've got one that lives on my night stand with a Streamlight Lazer / Light Combo on it.
The mid sized version, the Glock 32 lives in the console of my F-250.
Right...sorry. Confused my Glocks...the 31.
what is the difference between a 357 Sig and a 357 magnum ?????
norm
My non-expert answer: the 357 Sig was meant to replicate the 357 magnum ballistics with a 125-grain bullet with a rather fast burning powder. IOW, spit that pill at about 1400 fps. I believe that the heaviest bullet in in a commercial Sig loading is 147-grain at ~ 1200 fps. Heavier than that, I don't think the Sig can keep up with a 357 magnum and slower powders and a longer revolver barrel.
However, I can say with the light bullet loading, I can pick out a dinner plate-sized target at a hundred yards and scare it badly with my P226. For a pistol loading it's quite flat shooting. I haven't fired any of the 147-grain loads but they should be as good depending on the pistol.
