How is this much different then the .357 sig?

The .357 Sig is actually a S&W .40 necked down to 9MM. This makes it .355 not .357. The round was named such because it's goal was to make a .357 equal in an auto round. Whether or not it did is a matter for debate and I'm sure this thread will not disappoint.

From my limited research, the .357 Sig was developed to match the performance of .357 mag 125 gr. factory loads. The ballistics I have seen show that it comes close. With heavier bullets though, the mag pulls away in performance.

.357 magnum has a significantly bigger punch. There are ballistics charts that show it.
I wouldn’t want to shoot it. The inertia from the slide probably gives it quite a muzzle flip. .357 Revolvers are much more manageable, and my favorite fun gun.
