What if ... (a .40S&W vs .357Sig question) ?

[Sir Knight]

If you were being confronted with a threat to your life and on the table in front of you was a field stripped firearm with a .40S&W barrel and a matching .357Sig barrel and an equal amount of ammo for both calibers, which barrel would you use to assemble the gun and deal with the threat -- the .357Sig barrel or the .40S&W barrel?

It would be a hard choice, But in all likelyhood i would chose the 357 Sig
Although i have a mod 22-40 S&W that i put a lot of trust in. HTH   .........Joe.........

From what I know, if you're talking about a personal protection situation, I'm reasonably sure I'd take the 40S&W myself.

With that said though, it'd definately boil down to which set up was the most dependable, and accurate.

I'm quite sure that a man that was out to do you harm wouldn't be able to tell the difference if your shots were well aimed.

I like the .357SIG for shooting though I suspect this is very subjective.

For the dfference, the one closest to my left hand would be the one installed.

I'd take the .357 sig, simply because they always seem to shoot better for me, but frankly, I would not feel undergunned with either, since I usually carry a 9mm.

I have a Glock 22 with the original .40 barrel and a Jarvis .357 Sig. The Jarvis is what I use most of the time because it just is plain more accurate. A whole lot more accurate! :grin:

 THe .40 every time........speed of the 9mm, knock down power of the .45.  But in a pinch, the .357 would work........... :wink:
