My concern is that the vast majority of these conversions are made on aluminum framed pistols.
I did a quick check both of my M&Ps' chamber walls. I have 40s&w AND 357 Sig barrels for both. All four chambers miked at .085 (2 each, 40s&w, 357 Sig on an M&P and 40s&w AND 357 Sig on an M&Pc) at their skinniest points.
Since there are 357 Sig chambered M&Ps out there and no known (To me) M&P chambered blow ups on .085 chambered walls, It doesn't appear that a 357 Sig chambered 5906 with a nominal .090 wall thickness is anything to worry about.

Both of my 4046s are stainless steel anchors. Their frames don't worry me.
MY 410s, however, will forever stay a 40S&W.
