Its actually .357 sig,

It's a drop in conversion barrel, and it runs about $100

So it's real.
He shoots .38 rounds, but claims it is chambered for .357...
Not being a member of the darkside, I was amazed, but have heard of several semi-autos chambered for .357.
What kind of magazine is capable of carrying a .357 round> wow...Would like Pix on that one!

A Glock 22 is chambered in .40 S&W. You can buy a .357Sig barrel, and just drop it in and shoot the .357Sig using the same frame, Mags, and all that since the .357 Sig is a .40 necked down to (some diameter close to .3 something, didn't feel like looking it up) I've always been scared of doing this cause I know that I will try to shoot a .40 though the .357Sig barrel....OUCH.....Only thing that I know of that you can shoot .38 in IS a .357 revolver...

Thanks to you both, I am starting to get the picture.
He must have purchased the weapon in this configuration.
Why not a .40 to start with....
I sure had a great visual of some semi-auto with .357 Mag cartridges...Charles Bronson w/a Webley came to mind...
Thanks to all for clearing this up.

Do a search....the .357 Sig is real close to the 357 Mag fired from a 2" barrel, the Mag's velocity goes up in longer barrels, though.....
