I passed the range with a 96 or 98 out of 100 cant remember. I really hope to be on a Glock soon, but that is over a year from now. I also plan to qualify with the .357 sig. I have heard that round doesn't run good in the Glock though as well as the 9mm. PT comes in goes. We have it for 8 hours, two 4 hour blocks, ending this week so we will. We had it for 4 hours Friday and despite trying to work out on my own and stay in shape I was still very sore all weekend. I will also have to qualify using a weapon light if I want one. I do want one, but not made of money and haven't gotten an idea on what all I get discounts on yet as I don't have extra money anyways. Hope all is well with everyone.
Don't know where you're getting the info about Glocks not running .357 sig and 9mm well. I've had both and never had an issue. When the gen 4 first came out there were issues with the 9mm but a spring replacement on Glocks dime took care of that. The only issues I've ever heard of with the .357 sig models had to do with the use of extended mags with the compact guns and putting too much pressure on the bottom of the mag when gripping the gun. There were some who claimed there was an issue with mag followers but I never encountered it.
The only .357 sig I know of that had major issues was the M&P. Many stories on the web - here's one:
