I just posted about buying a P229 .357 Sig, and while I was pondering hitting the checkout button on CDNN...I decided to price some ammo to make sure I wasn’t about to goof. I was pleasantly surprised to find .357 Sig ammo cheaper than comparable 9mm. In this case, my go to defense load of Speer Gold Dots. 125gr JHP is $.94/rd vs $1.15 for 124gr 9mm. However, 9mm FMJ rounds are still about 1/2 the cost. This gun will not replace my Glock 9mms in their intended roles, but should be a nice center console companion when out on the farm.
