Hi guys,

Do .357 SIG pistols fall into the high calibre classification for Cat H firearms?

Thanks. So just to clarify I can own a .357 SIG and not need a High Calibre permit, right? BTW I'm in NSW

Standard Cat H, I'm in NSW, I have one and it's not on my High Cal permit as it's <.38.

The High Caliber permit is only required for calibers >.38 such as 10mm, 44, 45 etc.
How's my posting?

They used the '0.38' I would assume as the 38spl was the cop round and "no one needs any more than that!" right??..... even though the 38s (and 357s) are actually 0.359/0.355 CALIBRE.....but details smeatails....
