What are the advantages of .357 SIG over .40 S&W?

If I were still a police officer, I would carry a 357 Sig forever. Flat shooting and accurate. I was put onto the caliber by a former fellow officer. He had a M&Pc. I found a NIB M&P FS with nite sites in February for $419 plus tax FROM A DEALER at the Frisco gun show. Reload to reduce flash. Midway has dies (9mm for body sizing, 357 Sig dies for neck and shoulder, Factory Crimp die for finishing in my progressive- no lube needed.), Starline has brass. 9mm bullets are around (Don't use Golden Saber, plated, or lead). Use Ramshot Silhouette powder. Silhouette powder gives velocity (1350 fps w/125 gr Speer hp). No pressure signs and almost zero flash signature indoors. I got a 40 S&W barrel from midway for $93 and a 17lb ISMI recoil spring. Comfortable to shoot.

I have a rheaded barrel for my Glock 32 and shoot it with a YHM Cobra can. :rolleyes: Wow, what a rush!! :eek: I just love those 9mm/.40 ballistics! :D
 
I have a SIG P226 in .40 and added a .357 barrel. I like both. My big problem is loading for the .357 bottleneck case. I can't get the neck sized down enough to get a tight enough grip on the bullet. I am using Lee dies and the factory crimp die. This is one of my projects on my projects list since I retired.
