P320 in 357 legal USPSA?

[Scrmblr]

I've searched for this answer but haven't found a definitive ruling.

Is the 357 variant legal in production? The 9mm is the only one specifically mentioned. It's not a conversion, full size pistol in 357-Sig.

Until specifically stated in the list in 357sig, it is not legal. Did you email DNROI?

Rule 5.1.2 lists the minimum cartridge case dimension for handguns to be used in USPSA matches is 9x19 mm. The minimum bullet diameter is 9 mm (.354 inches).

Appendix D4, item 4 lists Minimum bullet caliber / cartridge case length for Production Division as ".38 cal. / 9x19 mm (0.354” x 0.748”)"

So in general, since 357 SIG bullets are 0.355" in diameter, and the case is 0.856" long, they would meet rule 5.1.2 and Appendix D4, item 4 as listed above, correct? It just then comes down to whether or not the specific model of gun in question has been approved for production...I'm guessing.

In the approved production gun list posted at http://www.uspsa.org/uspsa-NROI-production-gunlist.php the only P320 listed as approved is the "P320 Full Size 9mm B4.7 Nitron (29.4 oz.)". Does that mean that ALL other variants of the P320 would be forbidden in production?

When they use words like "only", seems like they only wanted that particular one to play. I don't see why a .357 Sig couldn't play as well but that is for DNROI to decide.
