Sig Barrel

[The Original Godfather]

Hey guys. I know the magazines on the Sig P229 can facilitate both .357sig and .40sw, but can the .357 barrel also shoot .40?

Thanks

no...

there are 2 diff barrels.

No since the .357 sig bullet is smaller than the .40 cal it would not be adviseable. If you want to do this you'll need to buy a .40 cal barrel for the gun.

Here's the link to Midways catalog:

As the others have said, two different barrels.

The .40 S&W barrel fires a bullet that is sized .400 to .401 while the .357 Sig barrel fires a round that is sized .355 to .356. The .357 Sig Cartridge is basically a necked down .40 S&W case that fits 9mm rounds. A barrel swap is all that is needed to change the caliber. However if you want to change out to a 9mm, you need a 9mm conversion barrel, 9mm magazines, and your sights will be shooting a hair low.
