How does the recoil of 357sig compare to 9mm and 40cal
IMO: 357 is SNAP SNAP and loud! 9mm is the standard recoil. .40 pushes a bit and snaps.Originally Posted by cofi

I got in on some deals a while back and I'm flush with it for a few years anyway..357 SIG, 125 Gr Speer GDHP is a great round...when you don't have to pay for it out of your own pocket.
If anyone reloads .357 SIG, I have some nickel plated brass available
"Snappy," even with an alloy frame P229. 9mm is way soft by comparison. Wifey can shoot the 9mm guns and .380ACP (P238), she won't touch the 1911 or .357Sig (yet). Haven't shot much .40 but I think it's comparable and .45ACP is more of a handful than the Sig.
My unscientific tests have proven that while a .40S&W or .45ACP will knock a 12-18" log off a rack and will most certainly not penetrate, the .357Sig will do so with zeal and leave it standing for a few more before tumbling over.

Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
My 155 Gr .40 S&W reloads feel pretty similar to the 125 Gr .357 SIG Speer rounds. I shoot both out of my Glock 22, SIG P229, and SIG P250 subcompact. The P250 has the most felt recoil, but that is because it is the lightest and smallest handgun of the three. I once had a P226 in 9mm and it definitely felt like less recoil, but it was a heavier pistol.
I got used to shooting 110 Gr .38 Spl Treasury loads out of a 4" Model 15. I then moved onto 125 Gr .357 Magnums out of a 2.5" Model 19. None of my current semi-auto handguns seem to snap or jump as much as either of the revolver loads.
I think it is all what you get used to. If you shoot it accurately, go with it.
Be safe.
The only wimpy round is the one that someone will stand 10 feet in front of you and let you shoot them in the chest.
10 mm yo.
Yes, 10MM is awesome, especially in 220gr, however, this thread is about if 180gr can be a +P round in .40S&W, not about caliber selection.
Really, when it comes down to any other argument with handgun calibers:
1. Shot placement
2. Ammo selection
