I've got nothing against the 357 sig. I've got an springfield xd chambered in it, is the round good at what it does yes, it's a fast,hot load.I don't shoot mine or carry it for a bunch of reason. It's impractical to shoot unless you roll your own,not just everyone carries ammo for it so if you forget a box it's not like you can walk in to your bait and tackle store and buy a box if you needed more then what you was carrying on you. And mines not that accurite my springfield 1911 and both glocks one 30 and the other a 21 all in 45acp will shoot a circle around it, most any small backwoods place, gas station etc. that will sale ammo has a box of 45acp along with 30-30,3006,270 and 308 and I'm not getting raped with the ammo price on the 45acp compared to the 357 sig which is expensive to shoot
