I have an opportunity to buy a Sig "Tac Ops" 1911 in .357 Sig.
Wanting to know how durable this gun should be with this round?
Thank you-

I'd think it would be as durable as any other gun chambered in .357 SIG and probably more durable than many.I have an opportunity to buy a Sig "Tac Ops" 1911 in .357 Sig.

Note SIG uses an external extractor for their 1911's, which probably work just fine, but it is an uncommon arrangement for a 1911. Combined with the unusual .357 SIG/.40S&W chambering, SIG may be the only source for those extractors.You would probably find yourself replacing the extractor, which has been somewhat common with people torture testing 1911 pistols in 45 ACP around the 10,000 round mark on some occasions.

There are other 1911's that use an external extractor, but my point was they aren't common and the external extractor S&W uses in their 1911 is not the same as the external extractor SIG uses in their 1911's, whereas the 1911 internal extractor is a fairly common, user installed part. The external extractor combined with the unusual chambering, may make sourcing such a part more difficult in the future.So does Smith & Wesson ...

For example, what would you suspect is the availability of an extractor for a SIG P220 in .38 Super?
Given the cost of 357 Sig ammo, buying enough ammo to wear it out would cost much more than the gun did.
Speer Lawman "Seconds" are $10.99 a box at my LGS so it's not 9mm cheap to shoot but it's not ridiculous.
