I have shot it a bit and am a big fan of the .357 SIG but don't own one yet.
Most of the pistols in this chambering are a bit above my budget, unfortunately.
Two pistols I've found that fit my budget are both imported by EAA: the Witness, made by Tanfoglio, and the EZ made by Zastava.
I was wondering if it would be safe to ream a 9mm barrel in either of these for a .357 chamber and just procure some .40 magazines since the .357 fits in all the same clips?
The Witness' action is definitely up to the pressure, as they already chamber it in 10mm. I'm not sure about the Zastava's ability to stand the round, but FWIW it appears to be a clone of the P226.
Anyone's thoughts on the viability of this?
EDIT: Ignore the part about the Witness, as it only occurred to me to look for conversion barrels right after posting this. The question still remains about the Zastava though.
