Excellent. It says barrels are interchangeable, so I'd have to believe that if the .380 barrel has the same dimensions on the outside, then that means the .32 barrel should be able to handle having the chamber opened up to fit .32 NAA.
I myself am curious in a 96. However, I don't think finding a barrel for one is easy though. I just know they are available.
I mean, if the extractor and ejectors are the same then sure, I can go ahead with buying another 81. I guess I'll wait tho, seems nobody has any 81's in any condition for less than $300 right now.
Wouldn’t be hard to make. 357 sig is a 9mm bullet in a 40sw case so just use a recut beretta 92 barrel, or Taurus pt92/PT99 barrel in the beretta 96 and your pretty well golden. I don’t recall though if the OD of the barrels is different on the 92 and 96 so a barrel bushing could possibly come into play there. I keep hoping for a 40sw upper for my Taurus pistol, and if I ever manage to get a PT101 slide then I will do the 357 sig conversion on that gun. I’m already thinking hard about doing a .380 blowback conversion to it. Not enough time or money to chase so many rabbits these days. Kids are expensive, but they are worth it. My gun collections value hopefully will put me into a good nursing home when the day comes...
Just FYI, Beretta explicitly recommends against converting the 92/96 pistols to .357SIG.
