Why doesn't anyone offer a 357Sig AR pistol?
Can't find one for the life of me (using Google at least). Lone Wolf and Quarter Circle 10 have them on hold. Anyone know of one that functions well?
I think the 357Sig would make an awesome little PDW-type weapon, and an AR pistol format would be awesome.

When I bought my D/I .45 upper (probably going on 3+ years back), was talking it over with Rudy over the phone. He said that he was building .357 SIG uppers for someone to use in conjunction with their issued .357 SIG duty weapon. Want to say either the P226 or P229 magazines... but was more of an aside, as I was only considering .45 or 9mm.
Would definitely touch base with him if there was interest in .357 SIG. If blowback, he will sell barrels/parts to make your own. I’ve never heard of a D/I .357 SIG, which I’m sure would be mentioned if he got it reliable enough for market, but I know he wouldn’t sell those D/I setups in anyway other than a complete upper.
I had an issue with the gas rings binding up (he had a batch of one piece rings that were defective), and Rudy pretty much said that he considers these uppers like his kids. I recommend any company where the owner speaks that highly of his product (opposed to “it is the best, my competition don’t have s*** on me”), because you know he wants it to run for you instead of it being primarily about the money.
And just noticed the age of the thread...
