The main difference between a .38 Special and a .357 Magnum revolver is the size and power of the ammunition they use. The .357 Magnum is more powerful and has a longer cartridge than the .38 Special, resulting in higher velocity and stopping power. This makes the .357 Magnum better suited for hunting or self-defense, while the .38 Special is more commonly used for target shooting or personal protection.
No. The Model 28 is a .357 Magnum.

If it is a blued 357 with adjustable sights, it is probably a Model 15.
.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.
