I jumped onto the 357 Sig bandwagon fairly soon after it was introduced and I have several of them. I bought my latest just a couple of week ago after stumbling across an H&K USP compact on a dealers shelf w/ 3 magazines. OTD it was about $460 for a gun in very good condition. And my first H&K as well. I guess it must have been on the shelf long enough they were willing to let it go for cheap. I also have a Sig P229 with my thinking being that if its good enough to protect the President it must be good enough for me.
My first 40 wasn't actually a 40, it was a conversion barrel so I could shoot my Glock 20 without losing my expensive 10mm brass. One thing I have learned is that it's never a good idea to shoot 9 and 40 in the same range session because they are similar enough in size that the empties will get thrown together, but just different enough that the 9s will get wedged inside the 40s in the tumbler. You can at least avoid that with 357 Sig.
Once fired range brass is the same cost between the two in my experience, but 9mm bullets are cheaper. And they make a 357 barrel for my Glock. So I'm thinking about getting out of the 40 S&W business-- but I can't because I don't want to let this one go:
