You guys talking about a .357 mag in a auto pistol need to be doing a lot of working out. Its a very powerful round and trying to double tap these puppies out and have the second round "on target" would take some very strong wrists and arms.
One of the reasons why they were always in revolvers for many years, with the other being strength of the pistol to take the stress of the round. Never shot a .50 desert eagle, but assume that its about as strong.

.357sig, not magnum.
It's a .40 S&W casing, necked down like a .308 round, firing a lower weight .357 projectile. These usually end up running a bit faster than even the light .40 S&W rounds.
I haven't fired my P239 in .357sig yet (no range time since the barrel came in). I have fired a friends P239 in .357 sig and that thing was very accurate.
However, my Kel-Tec P-11 converted to .357 sig (and .40 S&W for that matter) has been abysmal in reliability. It needs different, more powerful recoil springs, and I haven't had time to play with it enough. I was also experiencing magazine failures causing the last round to hang up in the magazine or the slide to lock open on the last round. In the short 3 in barrle, the .357sig is LOUD!
