I am thinking about getting a P2000 in 9mm or .357sig. The only handgun I have at the moment is a Glock 19. Does the .357sig have alot of benefits over the 9mm.

You already have a 9mm.

Go with the .357. You will NOT be disappointed. Search this forum and you'll see the rave reviews.

Good Luck!

I'd stick with 9mm. Ammo is cheaper, and works fine

Is this a carry gun? I think 9mm will serve you just fine. Using premium ammo, expecially +p 9mm, .357 Sig is not much more than 10% more in speed and energy. Compare the +P+ Winchester Ranger to a similar .357 Sig round. Also, the Sig cartridge is actually a .355 bullet...so it should have been named 9mm Sig Magnum or something.

If you shoot alot, get the 9mm. If you want more power in a carry gun, I'd prefer a .40 S&W.

I carry a USP .45f converted to LEM as my primary duty gun as a police officer in the Midwest. My off duty and court gun is a P2000sk 9mm with LEM. I like the 9mm in the smaller p2000sk. We use Speer Gold Dots, which is excellent ammo.

I also reload both calibers. Both are very easy. It is really easy to find nice one-fired 9mm brass at my local private range.

its tough to compare these two cartridges 357 sig is a completely different beast than 9mm. I would definitely get acquainted with 357 sig before you even think about carrying one.

If you going to shoot alot, get the 9mm - ammo will be a whole lot cheaper and easier to find. I don't see any use for the 357 Sig. If you want more power shoot +p9mm.

I think you only have a big increase in power when shooting the 357 SIG in the lighter 115 grain loads where over 600 ft/lbs is possible.

If your not going to shoot it alot (or can afford a bunch of ammo) and need the extra power go for it.

The only way to go!!

The .357 Sig is head and shoulders above the 9mm.

Try it- you'll like it!!

.357SIG --- if you want something stimulating shot after shot, probably giving you some CDI factor at the range

Wound effectiveness 9mm vs .357SIG? ---- practically the same

You can get more penetration and adequate expansion from any well-designed 9mm 147gr JHP such as Winchester Ranger Talon (RA9T) and Speer Gold Dot.

Anybody know what "CDI factor" means?

A while back, was able to shoot with some Pres. Secret Serv. guys who were issued Sig229 in .357Sig (before going to FN5.7)- I was using 9mm. We shot lots of steel and there was no comparison in the downrange preformance. The .357Sig round impressed me so much I had to get one. I rec. Speer GoldDot 125gr.
