.357 Sig History
The .357 Sig was introduced in 1994 by Sig Sauer and Federal Premium Ammunition. It was developed by necking down the 10mm Auto casing and was the first commercially available bottlenecked pistol cartridge since the 1960’s.
.357 Sig Usage
The .357 Sig is in use with multiple law enforcement agencies and carried for personal defense by some civilians. The relatively high velocity for a handgun cartridge offers flatter trajectory and hydrostatic damage potential.
.357 Sig Design
The .357 Sig is a rimless, bottle necked cartridge with an overall length of 1.14” and case capacity of 19.6 grains (H2O). It fires a .355” diameter bullet and uses small pistol primers with a maximum pressure of 40,000 PSI.
.357 Sig Trivia
Recoil for the .357 Sig is comparable to the .40 S&W. Since the 10mm Auto is the parent cartridge of both, conversion kits are available to use both cartridges from the same pistol by changing barrels and springs on some models.
.357 Sig Types
The .357 Sig has several ammunition options available in full metal jacket, hollow point, and polymer tipped hollow point in weights ranging from 65 grains to 150 grains depending on intended use or needs.
