The P226 in .357 SIG — a bottlenecked cartridge jointly developed by SIG and Federal Ammunition in 1994 — was adopted by the US Secret Service, Texas DPS, and numerous other agencies seeking a high-velocity 9mm-diameter projectile in a .40-class frame. The .357 SIG approximates .357 Magnum ballistics from an auto-pistol, offering 1,350+ fps with a 125-grain bullet. The P226 frame handles the cartridge's snappy recoil comfortably.
