Mauser M2

I saw a Mauser M2 in 40s&w at the gun shop the other day. The clip is marked 40s&w/357sig. How similar are these two bullets? Any real advantage in one or the other? The barrel is marked 40s&w, can you get a 357sig barrel, and would it be worth it? Thanks.

    Both cartridges are loaded on 40 brass, so they will feed in a 40 mag. The Sig is a 9mm bullet in a bottleneck case which headspaces on the shoulder. This could be an advantage for more reliable operation. As far as performance; Sig 125gr @ 1375fps, 40SW 155gr @ 1050fps. Both are rated at around 94% one-shot stoppers. I have not seen a barrel offered for the Mauser. I find that the Sig is quicker on target acquisition for rapid fire in the bullet weights mentioned above.

    Thanks guys. The gun is a nicely put together piece. The shop was only asking $399. for it. Sounds like a good deal.
