  • My first video shooting the .357 Sig cartridge, using a Glock 32 .357 Sig barrel in my Glock 23. No, it's not really a Glock 32, I suppose, but the Glock 23 and the Glock 32 are essentially the same gun. With the .357 Sig barrel, this Glock becomes a Glock 32.

  • @donaldblankenship8057
    @donaldblankenship8057 Před 8 měsíci +7

    The shell expands to the size of a .38 shell upon firing. That work of stretching the shell gives the round much more bang for the buck.The .357 Sig round flies much faster and farther than any other common ammunition, nearly hitting Mach 2 out of the barrel. Being faster, it also has a much flatter, easier to aim, trajectory as aim points get longer. The Sig barrel is absolutely necessary. A normal .40 cal barrel cannot take the stresses. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention: the reason it can fly much much faster than other ammo is that drag goes down the faster it travels above Mach 1. That doesn't make sense, does it? But that's what they pay me big bucks to design aircraft. You don't want idiots to design them. This guy is no idiot. He's great!

    @hickok45  Před 10 lety +13

    My thoughts are all over the place in all the .40 caliber videos I have posted. It's not a magic bullet or anything, but if it's a pathetic cartridge, there are thousands of police departments, competitors, and range plinkers who have not gotten this brilliant message yet. Guess it's a best-kept secret among people who actually use the .40. For people who don't have the option of CCW, it's not as much an issue, but gun carriers tend to be attracted to a substantial round in 9mm size firearms.

    @hickok45  Před 13 lety +3

    @nepitolk0 , Not sure what "professional" means, but they are probably as good as Glocks, Springfields, M&Ps, or anything else. It generally just comes down to what a shooter thinks feels best and can shoot best. I tend to find the Beretta and the Sig more challenging to shoot well because of the double to single action trigger.

  • @hickok45
    @hickok45  Před 13 lety +1

    @126lma , To further follow-up on that, a really hot, light fast round will usually print lower at closer (7-40 yards maybe) distances, but as you get on out there to 100 or farther, you might see just the opposite; the light, hot round will maybe not drop as fast as the slower heavier round, so then at maybe 150 or 200 yards, the light, fast round might print higher, of course. Lots of variables (barrel length, bullet weight, power factor, etc.)

    • @Wargoat6

      The Hungarian Keraly 43M submachine gun fired a 9mm Mauser Export and had a range of 600m. So the trajectory probably is pretty flat.

    @JimbobOMG, that all a totally different issue from what I see with handgun bullets at modest ranges. Th extreme example is when you shoot a Glazer Safety Slug, for example. Try one of these in your favorite caliber at 20 yards; you might just miss the entire target. These are very light and very fast.

    @Vthesurety1 , I, as well as some others, have not been that lucky. I found several years ago that I had to replace the extractor, too, in order to get 100% reliability. Of course, since most people would never carry a Glock with a conversion barrel, I suppose a few malfunctions are not that big a deal.

  • @hickok45
    @hickok45  Před 13 lety

    @MrClayblasdel , Ditto it all day, but it sure ain't the case at 15 to 20 yards. The ballistics are pretty much irrelevant; it's the fact that the slower, heavy bullet is affected more by the recoil of the gun. It gets slung upwards, more or less. The light, fast bullets are out the barrel without being affected as much. There would be exceptions, of course.

  • @hickok45
    @hickok45  Před 11 lety +10

    I think air marshals carry special ammo that will not penetrate the wall of the aircraft. Not sure exactly what ammo it is, though. You are right; the biggest downside is the cost of the ammo. Not so much the cost to keep a box or two around, but the cost of training and practicing much could get very, very expensive.

In such a short time with relative few shots, the point of aim discovery process was already working. The fascinating part on this one is seeing the analysis in front of us.

      It was meant to imitate the balistics in 125 grn. Full house for full house loads even 10mm would lose to .357 magnum.

    Watched your more updated version of this review today and the upgraded camera and microphone are very noticeable. Personally a huge fan of the .357 Sig however, it does have its negatives. Price is one negative, and it takes time getting comfortable with shooting even if the .40 S&W is comfortable. Penetration is one added benefit for the cartridge as it will have better success engaging a threat through cover and, or concealment. As always good video.

    Seems like a LOT more muzzle flash than with most other calibers. That suggests to me that a longer barrel would give significant improvement to muzzle velocity. Any thoughts?

    Quick hint... if you are reloading 357 SIG you can make the sizing much easier and less trouble by resizing your empty cases in a .40SAW sizing die before you run it through a 357SIG resizing die... I was amazed just how much easier this made the resizing process...
    Happily once fired 357SIG brass is pretty cheap... so reloading the 357SIG really saves money.

    Bottom line is ! FBI has stated many times over many years, decades that the 357 mag has had more one shot stops than any other cartridge bar non ! That said, the 357 dig is the next best thing, basically the ballistic equivalent. Nothing better for canceled carry. Just my not so humble opinion. Remember, if you can't react without having to think about it, it could cost you your life. So Practice Practice Practice !!!!!

      there is no "the best concealed carry" they all work, if i had to pick 1 pistol i would say the judge in 410 in the best close range pistol. remember that if you a shooting a very hot round at close range it could go through your target and hit something behind it that you dont want it to.

      @@M4A3 With the advent of the polymer frame pistols, many manufacturers sought to create the best balance of power, controllability, and ammunition capacity. Enter the firm of Sig-Sauer who took the .40 S & W cartridge and necked the case down to .355 inches. The idea was to duplicate the power of a 125 grain .357 Magnum round in a semi-automatic pistol. Unfortunately their lofty goal was never quite achieved. The .357 Magnum Hornady 125 grain XTP bullet averages 1,500 fps and 624 ft lbs of energy while the 124 grain XTP .357 Sig round turns out 1,350 fps and 502 ft lbs. Things don’t fare any better for the Sig when the larger bullets are used, the 147 grain XTP round is traveling at 1,225 fps and 490 ft lbs while the 158 grain .357 Magnum Hornady XTP does better at 1,250 fps and 548 ft lbs. Don’t get me wrong, the .357 Sig is a good defense round, certainly better than the 9mm on any day. In a pistol with a high capacity magazine you certainly won’t be lacking for power and you could do a lot worse. In a smaller gun like the Glock 33 you have a wonderful little concealed carry piece with nine rounds in the magazine. Not too shabby partner but against the .357 Magnum the .357 Sig is still lacking, and that’s where the old revolver cartridge really wins hands down. The whole concept that Sig-Sauer was working towards was to match the Magnum, and that was never done which is why less and less departments are turning to it when they can go bigger with the .40 S & W. Getting down to the nitty gritty, the .357 Sig was a fantastic idea on paper, but like so many good ideas in concept in the real world it just didn’t pan out for the better when you can get the same size pistol in .40 S & W. Factor that in when you put it toe to toe against the .357 Magnum, which has a well deserved reputation as a manstopper, and it clearly loses in every category that matters. In power and performance the .357 Sig tries to be better than it really is, and while it is good it is not good enough to justify the claim of being equal to the .357 Magnum. Despite its age the .357 Magnum has the knockdown and the pedigree to justify its place in the realm of personal defense against this newcomer that is little more than a pretender to the throne.

    Excellent video! I did the same thing, just the other way round. I started with a Glock 32 in .357 Sig. Then I bought a Glock 23 barrel in .40 S&W and used it- with the same delightful results. I also found, much to my surprise, that the .40 S&W rounds hit the taget (on average) about 2 inches lower than the .357. I also found the recoil to be slightly different. The .40 has a deeper "push" in my hands, while the .357 seems softer, but with a sharper "flip".

      The round "might" be, but with the abundance of 9mm ammo easily available at a much much cheaper cost, how much does balistic superiority matter when you can only shoot half as much? (I am a huge .357 sig fan so I'm not knocking this round in Any way, shape or form) but it's just not nearly as available or affordable as the venerable 9mm luger. More shooting makes better shooters.

      +67dodgepolara is there any wear in tare on your g32 and if yes how long did you have it and how often do you shoot it per month? Sorry for all the questions but I currently own twin glock 23 gen3 and im in the market for a 32 gen3. So I was kinda wondering how them good old 357 sigs in glocks hold up. All the 9mm fan bois love to say how 40 s&w beat up glocks but I've seen a 1000 rounds put through a glock 19 and I've seen the same thing happen to a glock 23 both gen3 and the glock 23 was still in one piece while the model 19 guide rod melted so im pretty confident in glocks chamberd in 40s&w when it comes to durability, but the 357 sig kinda scares me a bit at 40,000 psi.

      +67dodgepolara In truth I've only fired maybe 200 rounds of .357 I mostly practice with .40 S&W in a K&M barrel. I have I estimate 1500 to 2000 rounds of that and when I clean the frame & slide I'm amazed it looks so new. The S&W revolver this gun replaced had 250 round on it and had to be re-timed at S&W plus a new cylinder-advancer rod so I'm very pleased with the G32. .357 has some real 'pop' though for sure...!
