My LGS is supposed to get their delivery tomorrow or Wednesday and since the frame and all are almost identical I will be getting one of them when they are available!

Nothing against 9mm I have three of them but if I wish I will buy the 40 and get a 9mm barrel and have two guns where if you buy the 9 mm you can not do the same. The 40 caliber frame can also use the 357SIG so you potentially have three guns in one if you just buy the barrels to fits it!

Saturday I shot my brand new 40 full size with a .357 barrel with no problems and was more accurate with it. The recoil with a 357SIG is hard to tell about but since I was taking my time I can report more about that later since I only have 100 rounds left of it except for the 50 hollow points which will either go into the compact 40 or the new full size 40!

I knew that I would hear nothing but good reports about this newest gun from Smith and Wesson and it is also good news that they are adding a third shift to build more weapons which means that it will help those unemployed in the local area where the factory is!

M&P.357 4.25"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understood that the breech face and barrel hood are the same size on the 9mm/.40/.357 Sig. I also understood the outer diameter of the barrels to be the same. If so, can you not put a .40/.357 barrel in a 9mm?
