I agree. At one time I was on a .357 Sig craze. I had a Beretta 96 with a .357 Sig barrel, a Sig 229, a Glock 32, and a Glock 35 with a .357 Sig ported barrel. I don't have any of them now.
The .357 is very loud and has, IMO, excessive muzzle blast. While is does shoot flat, I don't have the need for a handgun that shoots out to 200 yards; anything beyond 100 yards is rifle/carbine range for me.
