This needs moved to the Handguns section and out of the General Rifle section.

The Glock you reference is chambered in .357 Sig, which is a semi auto cartridge developed to equal the .357 Magnum in the 125 grain offering, but in a semi auto pistol. It is a .40 Smith and Wesson necked down to accept the smaller bullet. It is most definitely not the same as the .357 Magnum cartridge. They are not interchangeable at all.
