varoadking,

I am not sure what information you are looking for about the .356 TSW, but if you use the find function and search for .356, you will find many posts with lots of information on this caliber. I personally have a 5" Performance Center Semi-Auto in .356 TSW, and it is a ball to shoot.

Thanks...I am interested in the characteristics of the round.

Does it shoot soft like a 9mm, snappy like .40S&W, or laser-flat like a .357SiG?

Those sorts of comparisons...

Its more like a hot 9mm since its very similar to just being a stretched 9mm case.
A regular 9mm is a 9x19 while the the 356 is a 9x21.5 and performs somewhat like a .357 mag.

It depends on what brand ammo you use. Federal's stuff is loaded like a 9mm but Corbon's ammo if you can find some, is real hot. In Corbon's load, this round IMHO is superior to 357sig. You get similar numbers but with increased magazine capacity.

Thanks - very helpful...
