The reason for going with .357 sig for me is to make my tupperware family larger and I have personally taken two hogs with my dads 226. Yes the ammo is a bit on the expensive side but so is 10mm my all time favorite. I dont plan on using it as a plinker but as a back up when hunting or back packing in the woods.  The part about swapping barrels seems cool but I prefer to keep my guns dedicated to the caliber they were made for. The info was top notch guys thanx.

10mm has more power then 357 sig.  you can throw heavier bullets at the same speed or faster.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

My M+P .40 full size mags, also have a "/" for .357Sig. I have pondered and scrounged pennies for a .357Sig barrel, but based on ammo prices for the .357Sig round, a 180gr.  JHP should be plenty in .40.

Kinda like the 10mm, great round, no question,...41 Magnum the same, but in today's day, I need the price point to meet the want.
My local wallyworld hass .357sig ammo (white box) for almost $3.00 a box cheaper than .40S&W ($19.79/40 and $16.98/357sig)

Very correct, there are some 10mm loads out there that are very comparable to .44mag while it's a stretch to get an average .357mag load out of .357sig. That being said a hot 125gr round from the .357sig should be fine to scramble a hogs brain but I wouldn't count on it dislocating its shoulder like a .44mag if you miss the head shot. If I wanted to carry a Glock for a backup when hog hunting I'd carry a model 20 with the super hot CorBon 10mm load.

I do carry a G20 as back up when i hog hunt. My g20 has 6inch tube with a 20lb spring assembly and my carry load is win super X 175grn whoop ass. The reason behind wanting the .357sig is that its lighter than by GP100 and i can carry more ammo in one mag than any wheel could.

I have a Glock G27 .40 S&W and the .357 Sig barrel. During the "ammo shortage"   WallyWorld  had .357 SIG  pretty much all the time and I was able to stock up on ammo.

As far as operation, either round shoots equally reliably using the Glock .40 mags. One advantage is I can get one more round in the G27 mag when using .357 SIG.
