What is the difference between a 357 and a 357 magnum?
.357 is the measurement of the bore of a gun. .357 Magnum is the name for a particular rimmed cartridge that uses .357 bullets. There are other cartridges using the same size bullet, but they are named differently because they are not interchangeable with .357 Magnum due to different case dimensions. People often call .357 Magnum just ".357" for short because it is the most common cartridge with this number in the name. It's the same as 9mm Luger being shortened to just "9mm" because it's the most common of the nines.

Is 357 magnum for Glock the same ammo used in revolvers?
No. Revolvers use the rimmed .357 Magnum cartridge. While there are automatics designed to fire this cartridge (Coonan and Desert Eagle, primarily), it's not the same as the cartridge you had in mind. If you saw a Glock marked '.357', that means it's chambered for the .357 Sig cartridge - not the .357 Magnum. While the .357 Magnum is essentially a lengthened .38 Special, the .357 Sig is an entirely different cartridge, consisting of a .40 S&W casing, necked down to fit a 9mm projectile. The cartridge name is a reflection of the attempts at the designer to come up with an automatic pistol cartridge which could duplicate the performance of the .357 Magnum.

Can yo shoot a 357 sig bullet from a 357 mag gun?
No. The two cartridges are not interchangeable. The .357 Sig got its name because it was an attempt to replicate the performance of the .357 Magnum cartridge in a semi-auto pistol. This was done by taking a 9mm bullet, and placing it in a necked down .40 S&W casing, whereas the .357 Magnum is a much longer, and rimmed, cartridge, developed simply by lengthening the .38 Special.
