Mmmmm.... .40 centerfire kit is on the way... can't wait to pick up a .357 barrel for it and see what my lil 229 will do with it.... salivating just thinking about it.
First and foremost I would like to protest the poll, due to the fact that I am a fan of the round and also a fan of pie. In fact I have even written essays on pie, perhaps I should write about .357 sig.
So far I have only punched paper with .357 sig, for that purpose it is a real treat. I run it in a 226 and that combo is more accurate than I am. It is loud, but it isn't overly snappy. I am planning on picking up a barrel for my 239. I have yet to shoot a person with it yet, so I can't really testify if it is a magic bullet. As yet I cannot find any volunteers for this task, but when I do I expect to find that people and their heads just fall off when the round hits. The data available so far says that it will work, but so will a rock if you throw it hard enough.
One of my major thoughts behind packing it is penetration through heavy clothing specifically in the winter. It also has proven itself to be quite effective through car doors and windows, so it makes a good truck gun round.
In my rigorous testing thus far I have found several reasons as to why I like it. It looks cool to shoot at dusk, the crack makes me smile, new guys think it is cool, and it is giving me an excuse to start reloading.

Law enforcement has embraced it enthusiastically
The ballistics are good and the street results have been outstanding. Using good ammunition with this round makes it hard to beat against goblins and their hellhounds.

new jersey staties carry the g31 as well, for the fact it will penetrate car doors, windows, and windshields while retaining knock down power. I'd recommend always using speer gold dots as carry ammo since they're bonded.
On a side note, its always fun to have friends who shoot 40's to take a few shots with the 357, they generally are scared.

I've always been intrigued by the round, but have, regretfully, zero experience with it.

I have the same complaints about .357 SIG as I do about other intermediate handgun calibers. You are either going to sacrifice power compared to .45 or sacrifice capacity compared to 9mm. Why? Because it is new and it will make you cool.
Until the next new fad hits.
However, the exception would be for the sake of a drop in barrel for those that are already a fans of .40S&W.

Sacrifice power compared to the .45 ACP? COR-BON 125GR JHP 1425 FPS @564 FTLBS! Very fast, accurate and hard hitting round. .45 ACP is still a very good round but is very different from this. "Move over Rover" My SIG P-229R 357 SIG (26 ROUNDS AT 15 YARDS) All of my Glocks and Sigs perform very well in this caliber!

This isn't my best work. These were the first two magazines 2 @12 +1+1 I fired out of my new SIG P-229R 357 Sig. Note: rapid fire less prescription glasses. I could have used my P-226 which is more accurate due to the longer barrel. My apologies to the op. I could due much better! I'll work on it!
