does a 357 sig muzzle flip

John from MD · 01-07-2002, 03:22 PM

In a pistol the size and weight of a Sig 229, does the .357Sig have more or less muzzle flip? Recoil?

Have both .357S & .40 bbl's. for a 229. The
gun is a pussycat with the .40 & has markedly more flip with the .357S but not objectionably so. FWIW, you can usually find
OEM bbl's. for the 229 at around $125 ea.

What Pistolero said. I'm in the same situation, with both barrels for my 229. Louder noise and more muzzle flip with the .357 SIG, but still very controllable.

Recently shot SIG 229, HK USP and the Beretta Cougar in .40 and .357 SIG, side by side. The concensus of opinion between nine accomplished shooters was that; the .357 was certainly louder without muffs. The .357 had a bit more muzzle jump, but none of us found it objectionable.

Sure its hotter than a standard forty, but not all that big a deal.

I think it's the opposite.The .357sig is much louder and has more blast,but i think the .40S&W has more recoil.

I liked it. Recently had a chance to shoot about 50 rounds through a custom 1911 in 357 sig. Nice & controllable w/ distictive BOOM!

On mine, less muzzle flip and perceived recoil with .357SIG, but definitely more blast and report.
