and for Heavens sake, hurry up!
... and since we are dreaming... I want a .38 Super for Christmas.
.357 SIG would be so easy for them. All they need to do is give the .40 a different barrel. I wonder if they have any plans for one?
Unfortunately, I don't see Walther making a .357SIG. Walther focuses their marketing towards the international military/police markets. The .357SIG is just not a popular cartridge for those markets outside of the North American market. It's really too bad because the P99 is such a great platform and would make a terrific handgun in that caliber.
There is one option though.... and it wouldn't be cheap. The solution would be to get Earl's to contract with Walther to make Walther branded barrels in .357SIG and sell them as an accessory through their website. He has done it for the SD models and I would think that the SIG cartridge would sell far more barrels that the threaded 9mm barrels. He has the horsepower to get this done, there merely needs to be a sufficient demand for them.
I don't want an aftermarket barrel, but I'd pay the money for a genuine Walther branded .357SIG barrel.
