357 SIG Nosediving?

[thaddeus]

I have heard people (who don't like the 357SIG) say that it can nosedive in the magazine because of the bottleneck shape of the cartridge.


In all my shooting of the 357 I have never seen anything even resembling this possibility. In fact, just watching the 357 SIG feed is a thing of beauty, the way the bullet starts halfway up the feedramp and slips into the chamber with so little ffort.

IS this "nosedive" issue really an issue? Anyone heard of it actually happening?

The only time I have personally observed this is when using a .40 magazine. Other .40 mags worked fine, but two G23 mags I had did not. Other folks have had better luck.

Glad we don't have to worry about that anymore...
