Is the 357 SIG going to become the popular bullet of the future?

Not likely. I would consider that and 10mm nice ideas but are not catching on. It's a conundrum in the fact that the ammo is too expensive and scarce, and therefore causes the popularity to drop, therefore causing the ammo to be expensive and scarce
 
I'm not inclined to say so, simply because of the dominance of other makes - the 9mm in particular is so commonplace.

With that said, I have no bad words to say about the 357.
 
I believe it is a good law enforcement round. It was designed to have the ballistics of a .357 magnum fired from a 4" barrel in a cartridge that can be reliably fired in a semi auto pistol. U.S. Secret Service and Texas DPS currently use the .357 Sig in their issue sidearms.

However far to many Police Departments have been sold on the .40 S&W and in current finical times no department is looking at making a large switch to a new cartridge.

I see the merit of the .357 Sig and would like to have one, but currently the ammunition cost to much to feed it. Add to that being a bottle neck case it is more time consuming to reload than say the 9mm.
