    Indeed; that's a sexy gun.

    Once again, I am late for a party, but that never stopped me before. Once upon a time, I thought I had to have a 357 SIG barrel for my Delta Elite. Well, I got one, and I eventually did make it work. But, it wasn't easy.

    Its a bit more versatile handloading with some bullets than the 9x23mm. For example, the 147 grain XTP is the only bullet I have found that will fit in the 9x23 case without bulging it. I can use just about any bullet in the 357 SIG, and when loaded full length, (1.265"), it runs pretty good.

    357 SIG loaded to an in spec length has to be carefully chosen. Stuff I used to shoot though my P229 will tie up the DE.

    It may be a fun idea, but I think the 9x23mm is much better suited to the 1911 platform.
