Know all about that. My buddy lit one off from my M&P before I got my ears on, ears rang for a bit.
Thankfully the splashback that got me in the neck and face took my mind off the ears ringing..., still have the pieces of jacket I dug out of my neck and face.

Brad, you have to get some 357 SIG ammo from Underwood Ammo
125 grain hollow point from a 4" barrel at 1490 fps. The Glock 31 launches it in excess of 1500 fps.
I just ordered 10 boxes after shooting some yesterday.

Im a big fan for the same reasons, my current home defense is still 9mm but .357 sig is one of my favorite calibers to shoot. Only downside is price.
I was trying to get a Sig 2022 to go with my 226 in .357 before 10/1 just didnt work out (did snag one in .40 S&W)

Hmm, so a 4.25" barrel should be pretty close to 1500fps, that's a helluva ace in the hole IMO.
That'll have to wait till next weekend when pay hits.

I've been considering a .357sig drop in barrel for hunting. With a 6" barrel length and the the 55grain frangible point bullets you more than meet MD's handgun hunting requirements.
Another big fan of the .357 Sig. When I got the drop in barrel for my P229, It now wears the .357 Sig for home protection and the forty is for range duty. I really have a hard time telling the difference in shooting Speer gold Dots of both calibers in the P229. Speers are generally loaded pretty hot. The the Sig round is very accurate.
Six years ago I purchase a few thousand rounds of each in loads from gold dots to Winchester Rangers and Federal Gold premium hollow points all at the cost of $239 per thousand. Those were the good old days. It was through CDNN, I've been waiting for them to sell ammo again ever since.

good luck finding a decent quantity at a decent price, you can try wal-mart, i think it's on the shelf with the invisable .22LR and between the .50 Beowulf and 300 blackout.
Glad I have some saved up over the years since they don't give us any after range days anymore. 3 to 500 round range days are still nice though
Flattest round ever. If someone is center mass at 7/10 yards, no excuse not to be at 25. Slow fire at 100, rounds could be touching.
Two different 229's, 1 p239 briefly, several barrels, an insane amount of rounds of Speer gold dot and not 1 fte, ftf, you name it in 12 years.
The 229 and the sig.357 is a perfect marriage.

Used to have a P229 Sport in 357SIG. Also still have an HK USP-C in the same caliber. It is my primary carry gun and/or HD pistol. Got a 9mm barrel so I could shoot IDPA cheaper. I used to buy 250 rd. boxes of Ultramax reloads about every month from MidwayUSA for club matches. Saved every piece of brass I could get my hands on also. Still got lots on hand but availability has shrunk since the frenzy started. Still my caliber of choice when I need to terminate something with extreme prejudice. Especially Gold Dots or 1500 FPS Cor-Bon 115g. Ballistics are similar to my 9x23mm race guns. And in fact it was a long time buddy of mine, Les, who works the shows with his wife Mickey for the Gun Rack who steered me to both the HK and the 357SIG caliber.
