Yes the barrel was installed before I went to the range and I had 5 magazines full of .357SIG FMJ just not one chambered for a total of 65 shots plus the remainder of a second 50 box of FMJ's.

I suppose I could have pushed the slide forward into battery but was concerned about this harming my slide so that is why I put the .40 barrel back in. When I rack the slide it should easily go into battery and if not I get concerned, wouldn't you?
