Which would be better for close range deer hunting, the 40s&w or 357 sig?
I would pick the .40 because there's no guarantee that you'll get expansion from a handgun short barreled or not. The .40 will allow the use of a larger caliber bullet with more mass. With a handgun I have found that having an entry and exit hole is more reliable than counting on bullet expansion. Unless you are reloading your own look for factory 180gr loads running close to 1,000 for hunting. Higher bullet weight and speed would be even better but the cost of such ammo and availability may not allow you a lot of practice.
Remington/UMC 180gr HP is my go to .40 load for my G22 for any use.
