Only made for a couple years, but damn they are just impossible to find, and FAR over priced.

You'd think an oddball round wouldn't bring such a premium. Ive been looking for one locally forever, and never have found one, and the ones on GB always go full idiot price.

I sold one back in the day for $500... On my short list of guns I still owned.

It's rare and made by HK.

That being said I want one myself.

Good luck. I’ve seen pictures and heard stories but never seen one in real life. Come to think of it, I’ve never even met someone who’s seen one in real life.

Convert a .40 with a Bar-Sto barrel is what *I* would do.

This is pretty much 1 of the 2 ways to do it.  If you dont care it's not a factory HK 357 sig, then buy a 40 cheap and get a barrel.

Otherwise, prepare to drop an easy $1000 (minimum) on a factory 357sig (and its compact only.

Paid $832 for mine back in 2018 that was made in 2000.

Waited YEARS to find her.

Good luck.

It took me a while to find one but there were/are .357 factory barrels on the market for a long time, and the only difference between the USP/c 40 and the 357 version is the barrel.  Mags are identical (maybe stamped differently but there are no physical differences), recoil springs are identical.  Mine runs great with both calibers, however the POA/POI relationship caused me to get a shorter front sight for .357Sig and that is the config I put the gun in, also had to drift the rear sight a tiny amount to adjust for windage POI between the two rounds.

Bought one when they first came out.  I think it was $529?  Serial # 897.
It's been through a lot of rounds over the years.  No issues.  went from v3 to LEM back to v3, I hate LEM.
I had the slide and barrel NP3'd by Robar a long time ago as well.

It's sitting in my safe retired since I got a P2000 in 357.  I'm going to retire the P2000 if I can find a VP40 and a 357 barrel.

Yeah but then it doesnt say .357 sig on the side of the slide...he didn't say he wanted to shoot .357 sig out of a .40 he wants to own a rare hard to get H&K

Good luck it took me about 2 years of searching to find a clean one at a good price

I'm always on the look out for one locally. Don't really ever expect to find one.

My USP-C and P2000 in 357 are feeling lonely.  I'm thinking of a P30 or VP40 so I can convert it to 357.
