👍🏼 Rifle performance from a pistol. Those wound channels look as if made by a rifle varmint round.
Well the m16/m4 is a varmint gun after all
Both are my EDC rounds! 357Sig really is the optimal carry round.
From my experience, Underwood (and Buffalo Bore) stays fairly true to their advertised velocities. Double Tap will sometimes meet their posted velocities, but more often than not, fall a little short. Still a good round, it's just a pet peeve of mine to list velocities that aren't accurate... and they know they aren't (as if we won't verify for ourselves).
Tremendous entry wound cavity!
357 Sig all day, every day!
Flying flipping rulers! Your one heck of a good shot! I'm always impressed watching your videos! You make it look so easy! Thank you for sharing your hard , excellent work! ❤
Alright ! Time to tare up some jell,!😂❤

Idk why I’m so drawn to .357 sig. I’m a 9mm/.45 dude only. And I’ve never even shot one. Impressive cartridge. What’s your opinion of the snap of it?
It's not bad at all, get a 357Sig and help grow this round again!
I have a few 357 Sig handguns with the same exact model and size in 9mm and shooting them side by side there is a little more recoil with 357 Sig, but it's not as much as you would think. If I had to put a number on it I would say around 20% more. The biggest difference is the noise 357 Sig makes is a lot more. I always double up on my hearing protection when shooting 357 Sig because it's a lot more of a muzzle blast than 9mm.
Of those two rounds tested, which do YOU think did more damage / was more effective @AZAirgunner?
@@Tyrantresister In this specific test, Underwood for sure.
@@AzAirgunner. was that because of the penetration? I know the DT looked like it had a larger wound cavity (though the Nosler is obviously no slouch). I got so mad when UW stopped loading the Nosler in 357 sig that I haven't bought anything of theirs since!
The wound channel.....
Hell yea! Sig P320 in .357 sig is my edc! Love your videos!
@@CarnivoreAF Very nice!! Thank you buddy I appreciate that and appreciate u taking the time to check em out!!
My favorite caliber And my carry out of 33 and one of my home defense out of the 31(sometimes my carry too😂) crazy stupid rounds that basically grenade after entry. I think they could both use a bit less juice or a shorter barrel to loose less. Gold dots are best for spice like that. Wish both would bring them back. Awesome video thanks for showing .357sig. Cannot wait for see more.👍
Either way lights out
Az, as usual you have proved that the .357SIG has got to be the premier self defense round.
Yay! Another 357 Sig ammunition test!!
The 357 Sig, like the 10mm, refuses to die. I wish gun makers other than Glock would realize that. Great test. 🫡💥💥💥👍
@@greyshooter186 Would be nice. Thank you buddy!!
...don't think someone would know the difference if hit by either round...
Underwood keeps changing their bullet offerings. Should of stuck with gold dot.
Don't think they can get gold dots anymore....they should try berry's hybrid
The supply of Gold Dots dried up completely about 3 years ago and suddenly in virtually all calibers. So far no explanation as to why. They do ship a few now and then but mostly they are unobtainium. While I feel the Gold Dot is one of the best bullets available, if you can't get them you can't load them! I'm not personally impressed with the Nosler as it comes apart much too quickly, but with a center of mass hit it would be devastating. I also agree with AZ about Doubletap being inconsistent. Problem is, one failure is a fail! Personally, I carry the Lehigh Extreme Defenders in all of my carry guns.
Cheers,

I spoke to UW about the GD's, they said Speer stop releasing the projectiles to anyone. The only way to get them is in factory Speer ammo. I carry the Nosler ASP but they quit selling them months ago. They sold me the XTP rounds and insisted they were Nosler ASP's. After 15 emails and them agreeing to give me my money back ( also told me to take my business elsewhere) Kevin Underwood stepped in and told me I was right and his people were wrong. He apologized, refunded my money and told me to keep the four boxes of XTP's. In my opinion Mr. Underwood is a stand up guy.
That .357sig round is no joke , I'm always amazed by the amount of damage it delivers . I have a Glock 31 also and coincidentally I too use that same Underwood load you tested . I like to rotate my EDC so I carry my G31 for about a month out of the year . Your video confirms that the .357sig is truly a great defensive round . Great video , good job !
What is overlooked is that in a gun fight perfect COM hits are going to be few and far between with marginal hits more likely to be made and more likely to be what stops the fight. These rounds would obviously be effective with a COM hit but also with marginal hits where penetration is not important but a quick energy dump is. Example a shot to the leg or shoulder would be best served with these rapid energy dump rounds where a deep penetration round would just pass through taking fight stopping energy with them.
Another great video. I'm good friends with one of the marketing reps at underwood. She knows I edc the .357sig with the nosler projectile. Several months ago she gave me a heads up on the switch to the xtp. She stuck me back 15 boxes of the nosler. I've just never cared for the xtp, I'm really curious to see your test with it. Again, thanks for the great video and the amazing work you do. By far my favorite channel on RUclips. Wishing you a wonderful day my friend.
I never cared for the Nosler and attempted to stock up on the old Gold Dots...sadly I have exactly one box.
@@nicholasroberts9618oh yeah, I loved the gold dots. I have 9 boxes of them left . The problem with the gold dots were that Speer stopped selling them to underwood. Underwood still wanted to use them, but they can't get them to load. Thanks for responding, hope you have a wonderful day.
@joejones1779 Yes sir, sad situation! You're welcome! Nice interaction, thank you!
I don't care how big you are you take one of those rounds center Mass you're going down son 🙏
Great video az we appreciate you.
@@yomomma107 Thank you buddy, I appreciate u taking the time to check it out!!
As much as I love me some 357Sig I wish the ammo manufacturers would concentrate on more penetration and less expansion. No reason, IMO, for less than 15” penetration with this cartridge. Excellent, thanks!
Super interesting. Now you know why the felt ok replacing that Nosler with the XTP. Neither is holding up to the 357 Sig. The cartridge deserves a GoldDot, HST or Xtreme Defense
I like the Hornady Critical Duty round for the 357Sig. With the Federal HST right with it.
.357 Sig for the win again!!! Great job thank you
@@timsmith5837 Thank you my friend!!
You haven't tested 90gr XD in 357S that is a top performer @ 1700fps with excellent penetration
15 rds with 600ft lbs each in a very light carry gun ,can't ask for more but with a 22rd and one in pipe it's 23...
Love my Glock 32 . Can you test/compare Winchester PDX1 and SIG ammo in 357 Sig? It’s all I can get, here in South Africa.
Constructive criticism: if its a test for carry ammo I would prefer a test barrel of less than 4”
Thanks for the great content!
I never thought much about the 357 Sig but after watching all of your ballistic tests, it's a mean cartridge. Like it's parent case the 40 S&W they both have fallen out of favor. They say the 9mm does it all but when you look at the testing and ballistics it's a totally different story.
Parent case for 357 Sig is actually a 10mm, not 40sw.
@@Prepare2Survive Good point, However Speer reloading manual says 40 S&W, Wikipedia says 10mm, another Military media says 40 S&W. It's confusing. It's probably 10mm with a small pistol primer.
@@rangetime6779 Yeah, I reload all 3 of those calibers and 40sw brass is too short once you neck size it down to 35 caliber. Necking down 10mm brass works fine though. Primer size doesn't matter.
Cool test! Do you think underwood would be too hot for a g33 subcompact? 🤔
@@mmz77 Thank you!! Not at all. Have a ton of tests with the g33 and all the hot ammo. Does great. Thanks again!!
Great test!!! Did you test the Double tap 124gr 357 Sig Controlled expansion round (the regular non bonded JHP)? I'd love to see the full size performance of that round (NOT the 115gr but the 124)!
@@Tyrantresister Thank you buddy!! Not yet only the 115gr. I will prolly be doing the 124gr soon though. Thanks again!!
UW only hitting advertised from the 4.4". best carry round for 357S is HST, IMO
HST doesn't get anywhere near 1390fps from a Sig P226
Good test, AZ! I'm much to old and cranky to be changing calibers now but I do like the 357 Sig. 9mm on steroids! Both of these rounds under penetrate, in my opinion, and dump their energy too quickly. Great for a center of mass hit but anything else coukd end up being a massive flesh wound. I'm sure they work fine in most cases, however.
Cheers,
jc
That's what you want it to do is dump energy at the target... That's why the 357 sig is called the one-shot stop.
