Absolutely! There is not the economy of scale for the 357 sig. I like the round better than the 40 sw and that is why I like having the choice between the 2 calibers. 357 sig can be difficult to find, and when I can't find it I can use 40 sw. The 357 sig definitely has the superior penetrating power and they are comparable when it comes to shear knock down ability. The price will drop as the alphabet soup starts converting over from 40 sw to 357 sig. Remember when the .38 was the King. Then the 357 mag knocked it down a notch. will post pics shortly.
