I am a fan of 357 Sig, but a few months ago I got rid of my last 357 Sig chambered pistol.
My reason being is that ammo was getting too hard to find, and fmj practice ammo is ridiculous in price.
Typically, I can get 100 rounds of 9mm fmj for $26 where I live. A 50 round box of 357 Sig, when it could be found, was $29-$36 a box.
I am a numbers person as well, and the ballistics of the 357 Sig round is impressive. But it is not much better than some 9mm +p loads ballistic numbers.
In 9mm, I carry the CorBon 115gr +p jhp round, which goes 1350 fps from a 4" barrel. The ME is 466 ftlbs. I can carry 16+1 of these rounds in my Springfield XD-9.
Long story short, while being a fan of the 357 Sig for a long time, I finally got rid of them and now only own semi autos chambered in either 9mm or .45, and that works for me.
