I wouldn't be so sure. All she has to do is post it on here at fire sale rates and it will be gone faster than you could imagine.

I mean, I can't get it across the border, but better believe if there was a wicked deal on ammo that was in the calibres I want here in Canuckistan, I'd be jumping all over it.

You should be able to toss in a 357sig barrel into your usp compact or p2000 easily enough. If you can't find a factory barrel, RCM makes some good ones. I know they were the main one making 357 barrels for the VP40.

.357sig in my opinion is one of the best personal defense rounds ever. I only own one. It's a Sig P229 with a crimson trace grip. It never leaves my nightstand. It's my goto and while own many great pistols it is my fav.

I have the Glock 32 in .357sig. WAY too snappy for that little frame. I bought a .40 barrel for it and it's better.

I might like that caliber in a larger frame. I do have large hands and that also might make a difference.

I love that we are all different. I have owned one .40 and found it to be too snappy. I still own a .40 barrel for my 229 but never use it. Maybe the platform makes the difference. The 229
In .357 is awesome.

To be honest I really don't like the G32. Too small for my hands. The odd part is the G30 in .45ACP fits me fine. Just a little fat for CCW.

Oh well. I so rarely go strapped anywhere cause I live in an extremely safe environment. I know there are those who say it's never safe but the seriously low risk versus discomfort carrying makes it so I just don't. Maybe crime will migrate nearer me and I'll have to some day,
