Semi-auto in .357 ????

Hi everyone, I was wondering if any of the pistol companies make a semi-auto in .357? I know that Sig used to make one, but I went to their website and apparently they don't anymore.

i think they still make them. i think dad had it in sig and glock. i think he bought a second barrel for one of them(i think it used the same mags as the original barrel and everything i cant remember.) but heres a link to some makers i found http://www.handguninfo.com/Archive/P2/#Firearms i think he sold it because it was hard to get ammo for. i think he had to buy it in bulk and it was kinda expensive. he likes calibers he can find anywhere and everywhere just "incase"......you know.

They make the 239,229,226 in 357 Sig which is not 357 magnum but has the same ballistics in a semiauto. If you arelooking for traditional 357 magnum you will have to get Desert Eagle.

Thanks, maybe I need to look at Sig again. Or maybe HK, interesting to learn that HK has one.

I thought that "AMT automag" made a .357 but a quick search says no. They make some cool auto loaders though. I always had a disire for a .22 mag. auto. or a .30 carbine.

Coonan also made one, it was a decent semi-auto...Coonan got gunshops to invest a hundred bucks or so in advance, while they got it into production. (to get capitial) In return you were guaranteed a low ser. number, and i did get one of them. They were on the expensive side for their day, and i'm sure that didn't help any to keep them afloat...

My friend still has the one i received, and it still holding up well for him.

LAR builds a grizzley 357 mag semi, looks like a beefed up 1911
