No. Might be alright for putting down a wounded and dying deer at point blank range, but not for hunting them with.
Yes, you can fire a .357 Sig round (not a .357 Magnum) in it, but you must first change out the .40 barrel for the .357 barrel.
The answer is yes....and no. By performing a barrel swap to the 357 sig barrel the gun is capable of shooting the 357 sig round. However, the 357 sig has a much higher barrel pressure (5000-10000 more psi). While the gun can shoot the 357 sig round simply by changing the barrel, this will cause more wear than is normal and can possible damage the slide. The safe bet is to buy a slide and barrel meant for the 357 sig round.
357 sig is a cartridge that is a relatively high speed handgun round. It is not a pistol itself, many, many pistols are chambered for this cartiridge.
no the magnum round is only for revolvers the correct round to use would be the .357 sig
A .357 SIG shell can be used in handguns specifically designed for this cartridge, such as the SIG Sauer P229 and P226, as well as various models from manufacturers like Glock and Smith & Wesson that accommodate the .357 SIG round. It is important to note that while .357 SIG can be fired in guns designed for it, it cannot be used in firearms chambered for .38 Special or .357 Magnum, as those cartridges are different in size and design. Always ensure that the firearm is explicitly marked for .357 SIG to maintain safety.
No. You can get a Sig P229 that will fire .357 Sig, but that is not the same as .357 magnum.
both good
a 357 cal. revolver cartridge WILL fit a colt 357 python. Also, a 38 special will fit a 357 cal. python. The 357 sig cartridge will NOT fit a 357 colt python................ The 357 sig cartridge ONLY fits the sig model pistol For clarity.....the sig 357 is a pistol. But, the 357 python is a revolver................
Sig Sauer P229 and P239 chambered in .40 S&W. Here's the press release from Sig.
SiG P229 in 357
Just as powerful or more powerful than what??
Most newer generation Glocks can shoot the .357sig in a .40S&W with a simple barrel change. You can use the same magazines. The same is true for shooting .40 in a .357 Sig. This is true with Sig Sauer guns as well. I have a Glock 23 (.40 S&W). I simple install the Glock 32 barrel (.357 Sig) which I purchased for $100. I can shoot .357 sig out of the same gun. The magazines (at least for Glock) for the .40 and .357 sig are interchangeable. You CANNOT safely shoot a .40 out of a .357 sig barrel or vice versa. A barrel swap is required. If you load a .357 Sig round into a barrel chambered in .40 S&W, it could fire, but it would probably cause damage to the gun and won't be accurate. .357 Sig has better "terminal performance" than the .40, but the .40 shells cost less which translates into more practice for the same $$$ with the .40, and better self defense with the .357.
