.357 Sig

who says the 9mm is an over penetrator, i am talking with JHP ammo, not NATO ball.
for me, well, it hits harder, shoots flatter, and i had 2 glock 9mm's with which i couldn't shot well at all, the 357sig does it all better. so you lose 2 rounds in a mag... thanks to the way our government is neutering our rights you have already lost a lot of rounds!

Anything will penetrate in the wrong circumstances.
The .357Sig does a great energy dump into your intended target, which is one of the purposes of a self-defense round. It is most similiar to the .357 Magnum cartridge, a venerable pistol & caliber.
Shot placement, is still most important.

As everyone knows, the faster you drive a jhp the shallower its penetration will be. The advantage of the .357 Sig is a the greater velocity, flatter trajectory and more power out of a .355" diameter bullet.
Comparing my G32 to my G19 (which I re-procured at a tidy sum), shot to shot time is a bit better in my G19. Is the shot to shot speed a large difference? No. Is the power difference between the two rounds a difference? Only in the mind of the shooter. Will a BG drop dead if I blast him with a .357 Sig and not with not with a 9mm? I doubt it.
None of our pistol calibers equate to the finger of God. If one did, that'd be the only caliber made!
But if you asked me which would I sooner take into the heat of battle, I'd pick the .357 Sig because the greater potential of the round.
