Anyone toyed with the .357 SIG or .22 TCM

I'm figuratively ready to pull the trigger on one or the other for my G23 multi-cal. platform toy. The SIG seems to be a bit rough to load with the bullets needing a specific shape to be a good fit and it headspaces on the case mouth, not the shoulder. The .224 is no walk in the park, but more interesting and motivating to me. A simple barrel/spring swap is all I will pursue right now.

HAVE BOTH BUT ONLY

the Sig. Haven't heard anything about the 224. With 68 of my own cartridges I don't need to go out looking for problems.

A couple years ago...

almost the only ammo in the Farm and Ranch Supply was what looked like a case or more of 22 TCM. Since I don't hang out with the cool tactical folk much I'd never even heard of it before then. It sat there for weeks on end and finally someone snapped it all up. I STILL don't know much about it, but recall being amused at what happened to be on the shelf. I should have bought it to break down for the primers is the feeling I get now. :-D

I have both calibers, and I've carried a Glock 32 357 Sig

since 1991. It is not a fun cartridge to reload, however, for me, the pros outweigh the cons. It is flat shooting, different bullet configurations, and is inherently accurate. Not to mention, there is an aftermarket trigger and barrel. There is definitely some recoil associated with the cartridge, but once one gets used to it, you'll find it quite manageable. It's not for everyone but if you take the time it won't let you down. The 22 TCM was purchased when they were first introduced. At the time they didn't even have dives or brass for sale. I was advised that Hornaday was going to put out a cartridge that could produce 2400 ft./s. I haven't seen that, ever. The 1911 platform is nice and the cartridge is accurate even if it only produces around 2000 feet per second. That is plenty of umph without much recoil. I do recommend having Gary slick it up.. Hope this helps.
