Does anybody know if a company is making an aftermarket barrel with ports exiting out of the holes in the top of the slide on a XDM-45 5.25 Competition? Or if anybody could port the factory barrel?

@ Patton, no the 1911 was designed to accomodate the .45acp round. I believe you may be thinking of the .38acp in the colt model 1900 and later models and the .38super was developed in late 20s early 30s to combat the lack of power in the .38 special and the need to penetrate the new automobile bodies that criminals were starting to use. Of course when the .357magnum came along, .38super wasnt as hot anymore

Throw it in a fire

It takes a GOOD smith to get .357sig to work in a 1911, dont ask me why but thats from the research i did. They are both good with similar velocities but the sig is limited to 9mm bullets and the super can use resized .357mag bullets if you reload. Personally between the two, do a super if in a 1911. But if given another caliber choice id do 9x25dillon or 9x23 winchester

Nothing says celebration gun like a fine 1911

Correct except that .45gap is in the smaller family

I like it because i dont like aks and ars are built tighter imo so thats my draw to it.

Fwiw the sig p226/p229 can also swap to .40 with just a barrel swap. In fact the mags are marked .357/.40

In my area .357 sig ammo is about $2 per 50 higher than .45acp

Ive never heard of crocus cloth or mostaccioli. And I dont ask for pop or soda, i ask for a coke for a general term or use the name of the particular drink i want. Im 24 and born and raised in the Winchester/Manchester area.

Dont know how true it is but an acquaintance said he stopped by and he wouldnt even take it off the rack. I dont blame him if it was his sons though.

Not for sale last time i checked. It was the owners sons and display only. Unless they got another one in.

I love the .357sig round. I have a P229 and its real nice I just dont care for DA/SA with a decocker. I had a Glock 33 that i foolishly let slip away, will get another soon. The G33 is a true pocket rocket.

Number 1 the 9.5" barrel makes it a SBR. Number 2 one trigger pull firing 2 shots makes it a machine gun in BATFE eyes

Why o why did you have to show me that? Always wondered why no one made a quality firearm in 7.62x25 and now you show me a 1911 conversion...

Awesome

Using the logic of not using loads hotter than normal, no one should ever use +p or buffalo bore ammo.

All slug rounds are not the same. Some are made with rifling made into slug and therefore dont need a rifled barrel. Others are made like an extremely large bore rifle, normal round lead projectile without rifleing and that type NEEDS a rifled barrel for any amount of accuracy.

Hopefully yes but this isnt the thread for that discussion. I see this selling at most marginally better than the g36. Xds has better ergos (imo), match grade barrel, slimmer, better aestetics, better sights, softer shooting. Glock is a more recognized and established brand name. I like it for carry when i dont feel like carrying or dressing around a bigger gun. Its better than a 5shot jframe or a 6shot .380acp. And imo better than a 7shot 9mm or a 6 shot .40 pocket auto either.

My guess would be if a suppressor got damaged by fire you would be out a suppressor and tax stamp. Granted the dealers should at the very least pay for a suppressor and maybe a tax stamp but you would definetely have to wait and apply for another tax stamp.

It was fine in the wild west for how long?

From my reading, the scar rifles in both 5.56 and 7.62NATO have a sharp recoil impulse that is hard on optics. It feels light in the shoulder but the way it recoils is hard on optics. You need heavy duty optics for a scar. Again this is from my reading of experiences on the internet, no personal experiences on my behalf.
