What happened to the .357 Sig

[40Rounds]

Good afternoon All,

I was wondering if any of yall here knew if I could find a SA 3.8 XD .357 Sig. I know that they have been discontinued but I have been wanting to find one for years. Any info would be awesome. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas.

Gunbroker is your best bet.

And, the XD in .357 only came in 4” and 5” barrel lengths.

No 3.8 (that’s a XDm barrel length, not XD)

They never made a .357 XDm.

Just XD.

 

[HansGruber]

If you want a 3.8 XDm in .357, the easiest thing to do is buy one in .40 and find a conversion barrel.

I didn't know you could do that. Where do you get the barrels from. If I may ask.

to me the 357sig is a great round, but sucks reloading with those short necks.

Yes sir it does suck on the short necks but I will embrace the suck.

The only bullet that doesn't suck loading is the 147xtp. It has an almost boat-tail to it, so no need to bell case mouth. Once you get the dies correct, it's smooth sailing just like 300bo's are. I've crushed more brass between those 2 cases than 45acp alone. Down some searching for "40s/w barrel to 357sig barrel" per firearm brand. That's what usually worked for me.

Example: m/p 2.0 40s/w 4" to 357sig 4" barrel conversion
