I for one,don't see speed as being more,if I need more gun I go bigger,same with my rifles... I have a .38,the next step up for me is a .44 special.I have a 30/06,my next rifle is .338... If I had a .357 Sig,I would be looking for a conversion kit.My LGS keeps maybe 10 boxes of Sig on the shelf,vs. 40 or 50 cases of .40,plus a 100K of 9mm in the back

When stacking law enforcement duty rounds for comparison using FBI Wound Ballistic Test Protocol, the .357 Sig performs well, not only in Bare Gelatin testing, but also in barrier testing through Heavy Clothing, Steel, Wallboard, Plywood, Safety Glass, and IWBA Heavy Clothing. The .357 Sig outperforms both 9mm +P+ 115 loads and +P 124 loads in all the above FBI barrier catagories except for Steel, and the Sig equals or outperforms the 40 S&W in all FBI barrier catagories. For civilian self-defense use, barrier penetration in addition to terminal performance on human targets may not be of the same concern as with law enforcement use. But for this demand and need in law enforcement issued duty weapons and ammunition, the .357 Sig scores very high marks in comparision testing. It's difficult to find any flies in the ointment within the context of law enforcement use.

for me its like this, you get one or 2 rounds less in the magazine, and the ammo is alot more expensive than 9mm. The other is as time has past the 357 sig seems to be loaded to less and less pressure and isn't as much of a difference over 9mm as it was originally conceived. I think its a very interesting little round, but for me I have moved all my semi autos to 9mm, they all take the same ammo and it cuts down on having odd ball stuff floating around that only gets shot in one gun. with all the other stuff I shoot, 22lr, 17hmr 9mm, and all the other centerfire rifles I shoot of various calibers I don't want or need another type of ammo to keep up with. although I may break from that as the new 17wsm looks really cool.
A lot of very good reasons here.....I do not like the bottle neck cartridge, the lack of available ammo, price of ammo, ect just to name a few
