    rmw xtreme can make an ar upper for you in it.

    If you are talking about the sig mpx I don't know if it is even out yet.

    Why not just go 9mm and have done with it? In handguns, I've never been convinced the bottleneck round was worth the trouble; hot nines nearly match its velocity.
    Further, it's hard to beat the nine for ammo cost and ease of reloading.
    Presume the .357 Sigs feed thru' a 9mm magazine?

    the goofball rounds feeds from a .40 mag. I have a glock 32 and run '23 mags in it as they are easier to find.

    in hindsight, after having my G32, I should have gotten a G19!

    .357 SIG is kind of a failed caliber. I doubt too many companies are going to put many resources into developing a carbine for it.

    Hell, brain fade. It's a necked .40 of course.
    No doubt you could swap your gun on the 9mm without taking too much of a beating.
    BTW, the .40 Glock always had an iffy rep for not supporting the bottom of the casing; suspect the Sig round is more of the same?
    My opinion is colored by a buddy who loves Glocks but hates .40s for their wide-open-throttle pressures.

    I have a glock 27 also as my carry gun and have run about 500 rounds through it, i know its not enough to determine reliablility, i really havent had any problems other than a 29rd Scherer mag I got on the cheap at a gun show as kinda/sorta a novelty

    As for my Glock 32, Ive run winchester FMJs and some Georgia Arms loads at a Carbine match over the weekend(my first match) the gun has gone bang everytime. Since I have a large quantity of .40 rounds, both in FMJs and HP ammo, I will throw a G23 barrel in after shooting out my sig ammo and call it a day.

    To the OP, I am by no means any kind of SME, but I would go with a carbine/sub gun chambered in 9mm and call it a day.
