Hey Meeko,
But on the SIG Sauer 229 that is currently on my hip right now the factory barrel is stamped "40 S&W". The 357SIG chambering is a propriatory round developed in part by SIG Sauer. For the sake of limiting confusion Smith could have extended the same courtesy. lol Bill

I know just poking a little fun. I used a SIG 228 and 220 as a duty weapon for years great guns.

While having no luck on Gunbroker, Auction Arms, or BudsGunShop....Lo and behold, I found and M&Pc in 357sig at my LGS!! And, it was the exact model I prefer- no magazine safety but with a thumb safety. Traded in a NIB Marlin 17hmr that I had won in a raffle and was out the door at $450. Now the family is complete. Will post some photos eventually..

Happy shooting with your 357c.

Yep, firing a .357 SIG at the range definitly gets attention.

Great, I have been stocking up on brass with the intent on buying one.
Well, I just bought an M&P 40 Pro with a 5" barrel today & thought that I was going to buy a factory 357sig barrel for it. I guess I will be purchasing a Storm Lake barrel instead. Bummer, at least I know that the SL barrels are serviceable barrels, but they are not OEM.

I saw several new in the showcase 357sigs at the S&W Retail Store.. if anyone really wants one. That was last week, I am sure they have them.

Yeah, that wouldn't work since I need a 5" barrel for my gun. S&W hasn't come out with that particular barrel length in 357sig, so I had to buy one from Storm Lake as an aftermarket barrel. Guess S&W won't be coming out with it at all now... It's starting to look like I should have stuck with the 4.25" barrelled gun because that barrel is the one you are showing in your post I believe. I ended up paying $160 for an aftermarket one. Oh well too late now...

This news sucks to be honest. What if our slides crack or something? Are they going to replace them? I can't imagine it's too difficult to make .357sig's when you produce .40's either. Why would anyone shed the best pistol caliber on Earth after they've gained so much LE attention just because of it? Absurd...

While I'm not happy about it, I understand why. I've purchased two 357 M&P's in the past. Both at a heavy discount because they were sitting in my LGS case longer than they should (or would ave if they were any other caliber.) I believe the price of factory ammo is the deterrent for private ownership here. If you plan to shoot it allot, you almost need to reload.
p.s.I also have a M&P 40pro with a storm lake 357 sig barrel. This is my favorite of my M&P's.

the 40 and the 357 slides are the same, so don't sweat it...

I wouldn't think that LEO agencies that recently made the switch to the S&W 357SIG would have anything to worry about. S&w, if they are discontinuing 357SIG, will probably only discontinue retail sales. Just like LEO agencies can still get certain 3rd Gens.

Have the FS M&P in 40 with an OEM Smith drop in barrel in 357 sig. Guess I've got a keeper. The Gold Dot 125's work great in the 357.
