Model 96 in 357 Sig

FAC has conversion barrels for the Beretta 96 into 357 Sig. Being as there is no such factory gun, does anyone know if it works well or not?

Just guessing, but it should work. The mags are identical to that of a .40SW. You can just drop a different barrel in a Glock or Sig and change the .357sig to a .40SW or visa-versa so I don't see why it wouldn't work. I would think that the spring and frame of the Beretta would tolerate the hot .357sig.... Let me know what ya find out.
