.357 SIG Ammo?

[Master-G]

I am looking at a .357 SIG pistol on the EE but I haven't found any Canadian suppliers with any stock in the calibre. Is there anyone I'm missing? I had a SIG P226 and a Glock 31 in the calibre a few years ago and must admit I'd like to get back into it, but only if there is enough ammo available.

SFRC (a site sponsor) is showing both Hornady and American Eagle .357 Sig as "in stock".

I believe Firearms Outlet Canada also has some in stock if you aren’t into the whole give-us-a-picture-of-your-PAL thing that SFRC does...

Epps is showing a decent selection, Master G. I agree, it is a neat calibre. I passed on a Sig 229 sport that I now regret.

Easy to reload for it. Use 40 S&W brass and load like any other pistol caliber. I don't quite FL size all the way, so the shoulder is a bit higher, to help it headspace on the shoulder.

Thanks, guys. It’s not a cheap round, is it? I’m not planning on shooting hundreds of rounds a year so not a big deal.

No, but it's a bucket of fun to shoot.

I picked up a .357 SIG conversion kit for my 226. I don't shoot it often (because of the aforementioned ammo cost) but it puts a big smile on my face every time I do.

I have some .357Sig conversion barrels...it is a fun round to shoot. I generally pick up a few boxes at the spring AACCA gun show here. P&D always seems to have some...ball FMJ as well as some pricey tactical ammo...

Well, I did end up getting the pistol-- a Gen 3 Glock 31C. I do prefer the grip texture of the Gen 4 but the 31C I had before was great fun to shoot so I couldn't resist. I'll hit up the local shops first to see if there's any ammo locally (supply is way better than a few years ago--I've even scored some 5.7X28mm) and if I have no luck I'll pick some up from the places mentioned above.
