[QUOTE="CSeverns, post: 3442251, member: 44527"] I have an older German frame non-railed p226 that I keep chambered in .357Sig but I can swap barrels and make it shoot .40, I can also swap barrels, recoil springs, and mags and make it shoot 9mm. I keep it chambered in .357sig because that round has more muzzle energy than 9mm, .40, and .45. It also shoots on a flatter trajectory because it’s a hotter round and has more velocity than the others. My stepbrother used to be a police officer and he carried the 357sig because it tended out-penetrate the other rounds. I’ve also read that police use the 357sig because it’s louder and has a larger muzzle flash which causes more psychological stops. Ballistic gel testing also shows that the 357sig round creates a larger temporary wound cavity upon entry and that even the target rounds can be used as viable defense ammo. [/QUOTE]
