I don't think a 357 SIG barrel will fit your 9mm frame, that would be a question for SIG. Since the 357 SIG is a necked down 40 (basically), the mags are the same for the 357 & 40. I got my 229 used for about $500, so that might be an option for you. Any excuse for another gun...

Well I have been going back and forth on whether or not I want a new p229 that comes chambered in .357 sig or if I want to get this which will fit my generation 9mm p229:

Sig Sauer P229 357 Caliber Exchange Kit 12rd

That might be a great way to go. I should look and see if they make a kit for mine that I could shoot 22 through it. But i think I'll just pick up a SIG Mosquito...

I believe there is a kit for a .22 conversion or you could go with a mosquito. Personally I have never been a fan of .22's. They ALWAYS seem to have feeding issues, which I guess is not a problem for going to the range and plinking but I wouldn't want to carry one for protection.
