Does anyone know who makes one?
I'd be causious of using a 9mm barrel as the .357 has much higher pressures.
I haven't seen one. I can see the appeal, but the size and shape of 357 SIG is very efficient in handgun barrels, so it probably won't produce much extra velocity in a longer say 16" barrel. It could have some minor benefit in a 6-8" PDW type firearm.
.
Too much SD?...no such thing. It does give up a bit of power and is a bit smaller caliber, but that isn't a big deal for me, as I would only use it for a plinker. Additionally the 7.62Tokarev may not be as cost effective for the handloader, but you can buy loaded cartridges for less than you can handload for any pistol cartridge, so I really don't see the concern.The tokarev cannot compete with the SIG it has too much sectional density for being efficient. Also the SIG is cheaper for the reloader as we use bulk 9mm pistol bullets.
the .357 sig was tailored to give the performance of a .357 magnum from the shorter barrels of compact autos.
I can't see any reason it would be superior to the .45 in a carbine. Not to mention if a little more velocity is wanted +P is readily available.
