Particularly the 9mm, has economy of mass quantity. Probably will be the most popular defensive handgun chambering for a good time to come.


In short, it's tough to beat the 9mm at it's own game.


As much as I’m a proponent of the .357 sig for certain applications, overall you’re correct.

After doing a lot of side-by-side comparisons on vehicles, etc I still believe that for ‘my’ application the sig has some advantages. The advantages of 9mm cost outweighs it, though, when looking at the larger picture.

Thus, the 9mm professionally but I keep an identical gun in .357.



George......you're turning into "that" Chief, lol. I'mma get you those white shirts yet


One of the big drivers, as I remember it when we swapped from the 45 to the 357 Sig, more aptly big concerns were ammo prices until it was determined that cost differences between those two were essentially moot.
