Replacement barrel for Browning Hi Power in .357 SIG

Is there an after market barrel for a Browning Hi Power in .357 Sig? I Love the gun, curious about this caliber. It seems the ideal caliber for self defense.

Anthony: I found this discussion on the subject (hope the link works): URL is http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-1294.html.
Seems you need to start with a .40 cal for stronger frame, etc..  Sounds like there's a few manufacturers producing barrels and at least one gunsmith willing to do a conversion (personally, I'd check with Cylinder & Slide, too).  HTH. PeterF.

I have no concept of how strong a frame should be.
I do know that in a Sig there is a simple replacement barrel for this change (no fitting required) and it works very well.
I would think that it should be for any if the manufacturer offers.

anthony - if your Browning is alread a 40 S&W then all you need is an aftermarket 357 Sig barrel - there should be any number of places that offer that and I would check with Federal Arms first as they often advertize conversion barrels.  If you don't have any success there I woud find the Bar-Sto Barrel website and check with them.  HTH.  Mikey.
