Is it possible to shoot 357 sig through a 17L if you change the barrle?
Thanks

I dont think they make the 357 sig barrel that long.

you could if you bought a 17 (size) slide and a 357 sig conversion barrel (maybe, I dont really know)

Just off the top of my head...

It would entail:

.357Sig Conversion barrel (GLOCK does not make one)
Extractor
Ejector
Spring loaded bearing
Magazines

This of course, only if the G17L is a later model with 3 pins.

There is really no way to make it work unless you locate a 24 or 24C slide. The 9mm breechface will not be wide enough for the 357 Sig which is based on a .40 S&W case.

You would be money ahead if you started with a Glock 24 or 35, then the only thing you would have to locate is an aftermarket .357 Sig barrel that would be the proper length for either one of these slides.
