Ya, Don't drool on the Awesome 1911.... Not that it would effect it in any other way except the finish, but....
That's a idea... Could probably convert one of my 1911's to 357 SIG cheaper than finding a Beretta 96 top half.... hhhmmmmm

What he said but not on top of the pistol. Super nice.
Thanks Aszerigan and AllenM, I've been thinking a while about experimenting with 357 sig but I thought I would be spending a bunch of time just trimming cases (which would really mess up the rhythm of my turret press) but if lubing is the only liability, that's simple enough.
I'll have to look out for that. I've always preferred carbide over stainless so thanks for letting me know. Are they on midway per chance?
AllenM, At the prices I've been finding 96 slides for, it would probably be less expensive to buy a 40 cal slide and 357 sig barrel for the 1911 than the 96 top half...
Jeremy, I like the way you think...
Been looking around for a way to top a AR with a upper in 35 Remington also... Let me know if you find a SIG upper and mag conversion...

I have found it, however they have temporarily stopped making them do to not having a reliable magazine out there for them...
DI upper is the icing on the cake for me...
Dedicated Grease Gun mag lower, made right here in Indiana too...
Jeremy, OK cough it up who's making the 35 remington AR uppers... I can put a friend on the magazine problem if I got the upper already...
AllenM, Ya, Fusion is who I was thinking of too.... Although my Caspian will probably complain about another brand being on top of her....

Haven't found a .35 Remmy upper yet. I was talking of the .357 Sig Uppers. Let me dig around for a while though and see what I can on that subject...
Isn't that Gold Dot a great bullet ? It's sure constructed for the velocities... My light load is 10 grs of Blue Dot and have ran them up to just under 11 grs thru a G35 with a aftermarket barrel. Shooting into a dirt backstop and recovering the bullets, I have yet to see that bullet come apart.
I have also never needed to trim. Your case lengths do have to be somewhat close though if your crimp die puts downward pressure on the case mouth because if too much pressure is applied, your shoulder will buckel just enough it could prevent the round from fully chambering. A great fix I found for this is the Lee FCD that uses a collet type crimer that applies pressure from the side, allowing for more variance in case lengths.
Also, if you have a sizer for .40 S&W, run it thru that first then you can get away without lube running it thru the .357 die. An extra step, but would eliminate using lube.
