I think it is a great cartridge for any Highway Patrol or State Police agency. It has enough power to penetrate a windshield and still incapacitate a felon.

I was first exposed to the 357SIG back in the early 1990s when I was working Dallas County. The Texas DPS was evaluating it for it's next duty round. The 357SIG was successful in that evaluation.

The SIG P229 and P239 are great platforms for that cartridge.
The one with the 405 number on it is my Texas DPS P239

I do use lots of factory ammunition and I appreciate this reference, However I also hand load plenty of what I shoot. Lightweight projectiles really scream out of these firearms. They shoot VERY flat and group well. I have a 90 grain JHP that leaves my SIG P229 Sport at just over 1700FPS. I would never carry such a round, but it is fun to shoot
