Generally a gunsmith only project. I haven't seen any factory offering yet. They can be made to work, just not easy.

Dont need one that bad, just an idea. Who really needs one anyway if you have a 10mm?

Colt made the Combat Elite years ago in 40S&W. Always thought it would be neat to get a 357Sig barrel!
A guy at work took a Hi-Power 40S&W and got an extra barrel done up in 357Sig.

I wish Springfield would come out w/the XDM in 357!

All you need is to find a COlt Delta10mm & buy a 357sig bbl for it. Mine is from Barsto, very accurate & being 5", you can really get a 115grJHP screaming. A great jackrabbit gun.

I am biased. 9x23 gets me an extra round.
I am glad yours worked out well. most don't with the stubby rounds.

10mm OAL is much more than 45ACP much less 40SW/357Sig, though I guess the 10mm would be up to the higher pressures involved.

Chuck, I like the high capacity 9x21, 9x23 or 38 Supers. Who makes these in a carry gun? My Kimber Pro Carry II in 38 Super is not a high cap.and my EAA race gun in 9x21 is not really a carry gun!
Thanks, Peter.

I've done a few.I carried a Para in 9x23 for 10 years.Done a few Caspians in .45.

I have been playing with a Caspian in .357 SIG design for a while as well.

Chuck,

ever built any 9x25 Dillons? That always looked like a kick-ass route to drive, if one were a 9mm fan.

I did. Just two. I saw Rob Leathams at the nationals, so I had to build one. LOUD in a comp gun. Too much trouble for my personal tastes though. The extra 200fps wasn't worth it for me with the loss of capacity.

Actually, it's not, they are almsot identical. The 10mm was designed to run in a 45acp size gun, so 1.260" max is about it.

Any feeding issues can usually be resolved by loading the 357sig a bit longer, easily done in the 1911.
