There's no doubt it's an impressive round

I'm really not a big 357sig fan. Yes, it's a capable round. But I think the industry, for some reason, shot themselves in the foot with pricing 357sig ammo over the years. Even at Walmart, when they sold the scary calibers, 357sig was about 3X the price of 9mm. Why? It isn't 3X better than 9mm. I could see it being the same price as 40 S&W. If they had made it more competitive then more folks would have be interested in it.

Someone getting into the gun thing or someone thinking about adding a caliber to the inventory; 'let's see, 40 S&W and 357sig are both only about $4 more than 9mm...hmmm, what the heck, I'll try 357sig' as opposed to 'let's see, 9mm is $8 a box, 40 S&W is $12 a box and 357sig in $27 a box...screw 357sig'.

So I think the fact that 357sig never really caught on like 40 S&W in the early years, and why it didn't gain a really substantial following is fully on the ammo industry for pricing it mostly stupidly high.

It's a snappy round in the one I fired 10 rounds thru...
as personal defense I think its a great round esp since its a 9mm bullet coming out a 1400fps+ or so

What pistol did you use? In the HK USPc it was very manageable. Didn't notice a difference between 357sig and 40 S&W. Pleasantly surprised.
