So I recently got the CDNN special, which was a new P2000SK in .357 Sig with an extra .40 barrel. I would have preferred the base model to be in .40, but the deal was too good to pass up.
I have put 100 rounds through it so far, which were a mix of 125 grain WWB .357 Sig, 165 grain WWB .40, and 180 grain Blazer Brass.
The .357 Sig was quite expensive, and the recoil was relatively harsh. I could not tell a difference between the 165 and 180 grain .40, but perhaps they were loaded differently due to the fact that it was two different manufacturers I was testing.
I want to stock up on ammo, but I'm not sure what to get. The .357 was rather expensive at Walmart, $22.76 for 50 rounds. If I want to stock any .357 (I am more interested in shooting .40), I know I will go with 1000 rounds of Lawman from Ammoman.
The blazer brass was $12.47 a box, so even with Michigan sales tax, it works out to be the cheapest deal I can find. WWB was $26.88 a box, so that is a close second. So, my main question with regards to .40 caliber is:
Should I:
a) Stock up on Blazer Brass
b) Stock up on WWB, which as I understand is slightly better than Blazer Brass, although both cycled fine in my pistol and I could not tell a difference in recoil
c)Buy some of the quality control rejected Gold Dots from Ammoman at a slightly higher price, which would allow me to practice with defensive ammunition? And if so, 165 grain or 180 grain out of that short barrel?
Thanks a lot!
