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. 357 SIG and 357 Magnum are two very different cartridges. You can use .38 Special in a .357 magnum gun, but not 357 SIG Adding to the above, the compatibility of .38 Special and .357 Magnum applies only to revolvers. You cannot cycle .38 Special in a magazine fed .357 Magnum lever action or semi automatic.
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.
Sig Sauer P229, .357 Sig
Only in firearms chambered for it. SIG comes to mind, but, there are others.
.357 Sig and .357 Magnum are not even close. .357 Magnum is a rimmed, straight walled cartridge for use in revolvers. .357 Sig is a rimless, bottle necked cartridge used in semiautomatic pistols. They don't even use the same bullet diameter. Other than the name, there is almost no similarity. In other words, NO.
DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS!! Never fire ammuntion in a weapon that it is not chambered for.
Sig p250 no its a Sig p226
This seems to be a persistent myth. The .40 S&W/.357 Sig magazines are not compatible with 9mm Glocks.
no the magnum round is only for revolvers the correct round to use would be the .357 sig
No. They both use a different diameter bullet and the case is different. The .357 Sig case is a bottle-necked version of the .40 S&W case. The .357 mag is a longer version of the .38 Special.
The .380 ACP is only available for the Glock 25 and 28. The .38 ACP and the .357 SIG are completely different. The .38 SIG being slightly smaller. Trying to fire the .38 ACP in a .357 will cause serious injury.
Any weapon chambered for it.
