Conversion for the G-22 to fire .357 Sig

I know folks are doing this, but what does it entail? I would like to have a dual caliber pistol but have remained cautious about just changing barrel and magazine. Does it require a new stronger spring? Any slide mods?

    I put a FireDragon 357 sig barrel in my 22 several years ago. I also bought a stronger spring from them. It drops in and works fine. It will change the point of impact with the lighter, faster bullet.

    Thanks, maybe worth getting forgiveness to have a new caliber!

    You don't have to change the mag. Rim, base and overall length of the .357 Sig & .40 S & W are virtually the same.

    As far as the barrels are concerned you would probably get a better deal with the Lone Wolf organization. There real nice folks and have super prices. I bought one of the Korean made Glock barrels off them years ago, for less then $90. Even though it was Korean made, it was a excellent quality barrel stainless barrel with cut rifling. This type of rifling enables you to load & fire unjacketed lead bullets with out the safety problems associated with the rifling used in the original Glock barrels.
