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.

What is the difference between a 38 and a 357 handgun?

Assuming you're talking about a .38 special and a .357 magnum, the difference is, the .357 magnum has a slightly longer chamber. The two cartridges (commonly, but incorrectly called "bullets") are the same diameter, but the .357 is slightly longer, and normally produces higher pressure and velocities when fired.You can fire a .38 special in a gun chambered for .357, but cannot fire a .357 in a gun chambered for .38 special.

What is the difference in calibers of hand guns?

Caliber refers to the size of the cartridge a gun fires. Indirectly, it speaks to the particular cartridge that the Gun is meant to use. There are several guns that are made in more than one caliber- A Model xyz pistol might be made in 9mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. Incidentally, caliber, when speaking of a rifle or handgun, refers to how wide the inside of the barrel is, in 100ths of an inch. So a .357 caliber uses a bullet that is 357/100ths of an inch wide. Guns developed in Europe generally used the metric system instead- a 9mm uses a bullet 9mm wide.
