^^^This is true. That round is hell on a polymer gun...they switched back to Sig, this time in a 226 in the same caliber. They had extractor issues with the 226’s to begin with then there were trigger bar issues.Originally Posted by TC215
Now NCSHP is switching/transitioning to the 320...same caliber. COVID19 has temporarily stopped that transition.
Nato and plus P are usually equivalent though +P duty ammo usually has better QC / consistency and thus better accuracy.
I have no ammo related issues ringing B/C steel at 100 yards with an RDS pistol and our +p Gold Dot 9mm duty ammo using an upper half / chest hold.
TX DPS was initially going to transition from .357 to a Winchester +P+ load but I believe they are now using the same Hornady 135 grain +P load as the FBI.
I have a new 357 barrel for my 40c, but I’ve never even installed it. I picked it up right when I was switching back to a Glock from a ten year dalliance with M&Ps... and ended up with a 33 to scratch the compact 357 itch.

Can't wait to see how the 320 holds up to 357,
or not

They’re definitely holding the line on that caliber. When they started the switch a month or so ago I jokingly told the Trooper not to drop the 320. “They fixed that...” was the retort. Lol.
They’re heavily vested in the caliber as far as ammo is concerned as well. If they didn’t order any .357 Sig ammo for a couple years they’d be ok. Not joking.
They’re also selling/trading their (almost new) Beretta 1301s for Sig M400’s. Not that I have a problem with shelving the gauges but they’re taking a hell of a hit in trade in value over what they paid for them new. Not to mention that License and Theft had issues with their M400’s after they got theirs. Sig corrected the issue but still... Not to mention Lawmen’s is making a killing.
There is no communication (go figure) between some State agencies.
It's been years since I last talked to some troopers, but they made it clear that .357 was here to stay. They had some good results with it.

In fact it's been so long that I didn't even know they had 1301's. I believe they were transitioning to SW AR's. Guess they gave those up when they ditched the M&P ?

Nope, they still have them and are issuing out the last few. If you have Facebook look at their last Academy range days from March 11, 2020 and you’ll see the M&P Rifle is still being issued. I don’t know when they will start with the M400’s but they’ll be moving to that platform.
"Not to mention Lawmen’s is making a killing."
Any idea who they are reselling the 1301s through?!
