I just found out about these. They take Glock mags, are a take down design, reversible ejection for left hand, are capable of caliber/cartridge conversion via kits, and can be had in 9mm, .40S&W and .45acp. But also in 10mm, .357Sig, and .460 Rowland.
Some conversions, like .40S&W to 10mm, require a new lower (the upper being the serialized part) to accommodate the larger mags. But .40S&W to .357Sig doesn't seem even to require a change in bolt, just the barrel, which makes it cheaper.
As a side note: A 124/125gr .357Sig from a 16" barrel is apparently reaching up around 1900fps. I put some data into JBM ballistics, and found that based on that weight and velocity, at 150yds it's still moving at over 1350fps and producing over 500ftlbs. Though that can change quite a bit, based on the ballistic coefficient, it's still pretty impressive. And based on what the calculator spit out for a 180gr 10mm, in the XTP leave the muzzle at 1500fps, it should functionally expand out to 150yds or farther.
They're not exactly cheap though. Does anyone have experience with them?
