Winchester, Marlin, Rossi (and maybe a few others) make lever action rifles in .357 Mag... I personally wouldn't pick that cartridge for anything other than a pistol, or if I were shooting in a cowboy match (where the .357 isn't allowed for the most part, anyway...)
But if you need a long gun in .357 Mag, there are plenty out there.
Good luck.

∙ 8y agoTo my knowledge, there are only two in production today- the .357 magnum Desert Eagle and the 357 mag Coonan. At approx. $1,900 and $1.500 respectively, I would choose neither. The .357 Magnum is a REVOLVER cartridge, and was never intended for use in an auto pistol. I would find a gun in .357 SIG, which is more plentiful, lighter, cheaper and more reliable.

Can you fire a 38 cal ammo in a 357 special semi auto?
No, the only .357 auto is a Sig. Different shaped chamber.
Can you shoot 357 magnum ammo in a semi-auto?
Only the Coonan Arms .357 and .357 models of the Desert Eagle can do this.
How much is a 357 mag worth?
What model? Revolver or semi-auto? New? Used?
Will 357 semi-automatic pistol shoot 38 special bullets?
There are a very few semi-auto pistols that shoot .357 magnum (not .357 Sig). While they will fire .38 Special, it is as a single shot- they will not cycle the action.
Can you suggest some 357 magnum semi auto pistols other than the Desert Eagle and the 357 Sig pistols which don't interchange with the 357 mag?
Coonan Arms
What is the highest calibre hand gun a Georgia private investigator can carry?

Is a 357 good in a semi automatic hand gun?
The answer is that it depends. I am only aware of two semi-automatic pistols chambered in .357 Magnum that are manufactured in any appreciable quantity. The first is the Desert Eagle, famous for its laughable uses in movies and video gaming. The second is the Coonan Model-357. The Desert Eagle is purely a novelty gun that has few if any practical applications. The gun is ill-tempered, maintenance intensive, unreliable, and very unforgiving to inexperienced shooters. The Coonan 357 is a well made firearm that can reliably use, and cycle the .357 Magnum round and will give performance roughly equal to a 6" barrel revolver despite its 5" barrel due to a lack of cylinder gap. That said the Coonan is also an expensive firearm, and unless you just really want a semi that shoots .357; there is no job other handguns in different calibers cannot do for considerably less money.
Is there a semi automatic pistol that can shoot 357 magnum?
Yes.. offhand, I know of two. Magnum Research made the Desert Eagle available in .357 Magnum, and Coonan Arms manufactured a semi-auto .357 Magnum, based on the M1911 pattern pistols.
Can you shoot 357 lever action ammo in a 357 handgun?
Yes.
What does 357 CTG mean on a Dan Wesson Arms handgun?
357CTG means that particular handgun is chambered for the 357 magnum cartridge.
Is there a 357 automatic hand gun?
Yes, there have been a couple. At least one company (Coonan) has built a semi auto pistol that fires the .357 Magnum cartridge. A much more common find would be handguns built in the .357 Sig caliber. This is a bottlenecked .357 cartridge intended to duplicate the performance of the .357 magnum, but in an auto pistol cartridge.
Can you use 38 special ammo in a 357 sig 239 handgun?
No. 357 SIG and 357 Magnum are two very different cartridges. You can use .38 Special in a .357 magnum gun, but not 357 SIG Adding to the above, the compatibility of .38 Special and .357 Magnum applies only to revolvers. You cannot cycle .38 Special in a magazine fed .357 Magnum lever action or semi automatic.
