[QUOTE="zseese, post: 1258464, member: 8672"] They are my two favorite rounds so I will tell you what I know, in my G22 the recoil felt identical to me (had both barrels) for both calibers. the .357 is louder and may be just barely snappier, but not enough to make a difference. I was able to shoot nearly identical groups with both calibers (out of one gun, both barrels being factory) so that should speak to shot placement. Now the only difference I can tell you is when you look at the holes you put on target, a 9mm will have a very jagged hole, the .40 will be slightly less jagged around the edges, while the .357 has virtually no tears in the edges every time. I'm not an expert but I believe that shows a cleaner penetration potential (I know its just paper, but that's what it says to me) Long and short, buy the barrel and put a couple boxes through it, if you don't like it (if you like .40 then you will like the .357 imo) then sell it...
