I’ve fired the .357 Sig, twice at a local range and was surprised by the lack of “blast” like my .40 Glock.

I thought the FBI and others had settled on 10 MM pistols...

Apparently SSA prefers 357 Sig.

I think the FBI went from 10mm to 40S&W because some of the smaller agents could not handle 10mm.

40 is just a shortened 10, and you are right, the 40S&W has some muzzle serious rise.

They went to the 40 because too many woman agents were complaining that the 10MM kicked to hard. And since they wanted something more powerful then a 9MM, the 40 was the answer.
