not a big diff you can shot the 38 spl in the 357 but you cant shot the 357 in the 38 spl i had the 357 and loved it it is a good gun and can kill but the 38 is a good gun to but if it was me i would go for the 357 it is a little biger Depends on what you mean by bigger. The actual bullet (the piece of lead) is the same size. The .357 cartridge is longer and holds more powder.
