Any real gun connoisseurs please look.

A 357 SIG is a .45 caseing necked down to .357 or 9mm so it's like a big pimpin 9mm

Actually, the .357 Sig is a .40 S&W necked down to a .357 caliber. Many .40 pistols can be swapped over with just a barrel change and still use the same magazines. The advantages are higher muzzle velocity due to the lighter bullet and the bottleneck round eliminates misfeeds.

Actually the necked down .45 case is used to make the .400
CorBon, you can get swap in barrel's for you're 1911 gov.
model pistol's. And it uses you're existing magazine's,
and barrel bushing.

BTW I built this one myself, it started life as an
Auto Ordinance/Thompson 1911A1,and I went from there.
It's still a .45 though because, I am a firm believer
in the "KNOCK DOWN POWER" of the .45 ACP.
It was good enough for the U.S. Military for almost
80 yr's. The only reason they switched to the 9 MM,
was pressure from NATO for commonality of ammunition.

Yeah I Two Toned it.
The only original part's left in it,are
the slide, frame, disconector, and sear.
although the sear has been reworked considerably.

mag-hatter, are you looking for large caliber or small? If you are looking for a small bore rifle I would suggest a .223 simply because ammo is dirt cheap and available anywhere ammo is sold. 30-06 is probably the least expensive large bore rifle to shoot, if cost is a concern to you.

[mag-hatter]

hmm i've shot a 22 before. it was nice, but a little weak. anything above a 223?

[boggerman]

223 is a completely different round than 22. 223 is the round used in the M-16 and AR-15. It is cheap to shoot because there is a lot of military surplus ammo out there, not because it is a little weenie round like a 22.
