Red Bull,
You are still comparing apples to oranges. There is no such thing as a "full Power" commercial load for .357 Magnum. The .357 Sig is loaded commercially to full power. The .357 Magnum is loaded to about 80% of its original spec.
Then again, the original post stated a defensive comparison of these cartridges. If the standard for a defensive cartridge is 357 Magnum and in light of todays liabilities (over penetration), why would someone even need a more powerful cartridge than .357 Magnum.
Look, I'm not trying to yank anybody's chain here. We are all here for fun and entertainment. Maybe even get and give some information. All I am saying is that these two modern cartridges, .357 Sig and 10mm, sit behind .357 Magnum in terms of power, potential and flexibility.
