Yes, you can fire a .357 Sig round (not a .357 Magnum) in it, but you must first change out the .40 barrel for the .357 barrel.

Will 357 semi automatic pistol shoot 38 special bullets?

No - neither a semi-automatic .357 Magnum nor a semi-automatic .357 Sig will. .357 Magnum revolvers can fire .38 Special rounds because 1: they feed from a cylinder which can accommodate the shorter .38 Special round and 2: unlike a firearm with a chamber, the cylinders in a revolver do not need to be headspaced.

Can you fire a 357 round out of a 38 long colt pistol?

No. .38 Long Colt was the forerunner to .38 Special- and was originally a black powder cartridge. The .38 Special is more powerful- the .357 magnum is MUCH more powerful. Neither the Special nor the magnum should be fired in a gun chambered for .38 Long Colt. This is VERY dangerous.

How many different types of ammo are there for a 357 I got 357 mag and 357 sig and neither fits your 357 colt python?

a 357 cal. revolver cartridge WILL fit a colt 357 python. Also, a 38 special will fit a 357 cal. python. The 357 sig cartridge will NOT fit a 357 colt python................ The 357 sig cartridge ONLY fits the sig model pistol For clarity.....the sig 357 is a pistol. But, the 357 python is a revolver................

Why is a 357magnum Sig sauer p226 the best pistol?

It's not the best to everyone. If someone told you it is the best, that was an opinion. It may be many people's favorite. I like SIG Sauer's just fine, but there are many other brands and calibers out there. It depends on what the use of a gun is.This pistol is good if you want a full sized pistol that holds a decent amount of rounds. It is designed to hold 12 in the magazine. In California and some states citizens are limited to 10 round magazines.This caliber is interesting because it started out with the .40 S&W case and necked it down and uses a 9mm bullet. It is not similar to the .357 magnum, mostly chambered in revolvers. It is a fast bullet as far as semiautomatic pistols go.The sig does not make a 357 magnum in a semi auto, they do however make a pistol chambered for the 357 sig caliber. There are only two manufacturers, to my knowledge, that make a semi auto chambered for a 357 mag, Coonan Arms and Magnum Research Desert Eagle, all other 357 mags are either revolver or rifle.
