9mm +P is good for concealed carry. In the graphic, they are comparing 9mm +P to standard .45 load, which is comparing apples to oranges. My experience with CC platforms is that some sub-compact models do not do well with the +P loads, and some come right out and say if you use them, you will void the warranty.
My preference is .45ACP +P out of a 4" barrel. But that is me - my preference. Larger wound channel. Larger holes in and out. I know the round, and I know my platforms. I can hit with it consistently at under 50 yards. Once you take .45ACP to +P standards, you start flirting with 10mm performance, and 10mm outdoes all of those rounds. If I did not have to worry about lawyers and over-ambitious prosecutors, I would use .45colt +P. Less recoil and flip than a .44mag and lower chamber pressures.
.357 sig is an interesting round. I know some guys who swear by it, but I cannot see anything it does that my other calibers cannot do.
Are there any .357 sig guys around who could give me a little more insight?
