Walther P99 in .357 SIG

[BadJohn]

Just received my barrel in .357 SIG from bar-sto,thanks to the efforts of DR. Ken Lunde.It's a winner!Very good fit and very accurate.Anyone else tried yours yet?I'm a very happy man right now!Barrel is serial #ed to the pistol.I know you should never say never but I can't imagine anything that would get me to seperate from this pistol.Most accurate and easiest shooting pistol I've ever owned.

I am glad that you like your barrel. Mine works well, too. The barrel also looks pretty good when mated to a P99:

Are these barrels true drop-ins? Did you have to do any fitting? Man, I'd love to be able to shoot .357 SIG out of my .40 P-99.

OK, I can't find these barrels on thier web site. If you don't mind, how much are we talking for one of these, and how long did it take to get one?

I bought two of these barrels. Both were of the "semi-drop in" variety. One dropped right in. The other required a couple seconds with a fine file for it to fit. Our barrels were from the first batch. The second batch is in production right now. They are too new to be listed on their web site. They retail for $200. The first batch was ordered back in August, but the second batch should be ready in three weeks or so. It's best to call Bar-Sto to order, if interested.

Thats so pretty I wish I had a .40 P99 just to get a .357 BarSto for it!

Thanks Lunde. Yes, I'm very interested.

what are the advantages of having a 357 sig cal? cheaper? more powerful?

Any range report yet? How accurate is the setup and any additional wear noticeable? I shot the .357 SIG for the first time this weekend and I'm hooked. Thinking about either this conversion or getting a .40 CZ75 and a barrel from Barsto.
