anyone running 357 sig through their G20?

Curious about 357 sig and decided to give it a go. Anyone know where to get a conversion barrel for a G20. Who's already gone this route. Thoughts, experiences? Thanks for any help.

I have a 357 barrel in a G22. Works well. Mine happens to be more accurate than any other Glock I use. Does a G20 have a heavier recoil spting than a 40 cal? might need a lighter recoil guide/spring. A $10 part.

I just re-size 40 cal brass. I don't size down to die hits shall holder, so as to give less headspace on case.

The 124 plated FP works well, as does the 130gr lead FP bullet, sized 357.

yeah, pretty sure the recoil spring might be heavier. I have a 40 conversion barrel and it seems to work OK with 40 though. Did you get the barrel from a site sponsor? Haven't really come across one yet.

All you need is a new barrel. Order direct from the US (brownells). The large frame and slide really soak up the recoil. I have conversion barrels/kits to run .22, .40, .357sig, .45 and 9x25. Makes for a hell of a SHTF rig.

I have all the conversion barrels for my G22. But for a G20 I have never seen a conversion to .357 sig, only to .40 S&W from 10mm.

I've only bought a new .40 barrel for my G20 and left everything else alone...........including using the G20 mags for .40

Never had a problem
