It's no secret that the popularity of 40 S&W is not exactly very high here on NES. Conversely I don't hear much at all about the 357 Sig round in general conversation either. Got me wondering which round is less popular with shooters, 40 or 357 Sig. I have bbls to shoot both 40 and 357 Sig in a couple of my handguns and for me I'm not all that enamored with either round.
While I don't think it will happen anytime soon, but as with many firearm rounds some start to head toward obscurity at some point. Between the two rounds I'd think that 357 Sig might be heading towards oblivion quicker then the 40, though things change all the time. With the FBI moving away from 40 towards 9mm, I'm wondering how long before other agencies follow. If that happens it will be a big blow to the round, though the civilian market is still pretty big. Then again, I don't think any agencies use 357 Sig.
