Could be anywhere from $100 to over $1,000, depending on WHICH revolver, and it's condition.
DA revolvers have been and are chambered in 357 magnum as have SA revolvers
no the magnum round is only for revolvers the correct round to use would be the .357 sig
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.
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.
$200-$450, depending on which model, barrel and condition. Excellent revolvers.
Depends on exact model, condition, and which barrel. Anywhere from $150-$350. IMHO, these are very durable and accurate revolvers, much underappreciated.
.357 Sig and .357 Magnum are not even close. .357 Magnum is a rimmed, straight walled cartridge for use in revolvers. .357 Sig is a rimless, bottle necked cartridge used in semiautomatic pistols. They don't even use the same bullet diameter. Other than the name, there is almost no similarity. In other words, NO.
A .357 Magnum firearm is more than capable of handling the chamber pressure generated by the .38 Special +P ammo. However, this only applies to revolvers - in a magazine fed .357 firearm, the shorter .38 Special cartridges will not achieve proper headspacing in the chamber.
No. .357 Magnum uses more powerful loads and produces much higher pressure than the .38 special. Shooting a round with .357 pressures in a .38 gun is very likely to blow it up. .357 Magnum has a longer case than the .38 Special. This was done specifically to prevent .357 ammunition from being chambered in .38 revolvers. If you can chamber a .357 in a .38 special revolver, have it checked by a competent gunsmith before shooting it.
No - neither a semi-automatic .357 Magnum nor a semi-automatic .357 Sig will. .357 Magnum revolvers can fire .38 Special rounds because 1: they feed from a cylinder which can accommodate the shorter .38 Special round and 2: unlike a firearm with a chamber, the cylinders in a revolver do not need to be headspaced.
The chrome plated colt python 357 magnum is more than $800.
No, there are .357 caliber bullets that are not magnum, but they are in the minority.
