'''.357 Magnum''' (also referred to as '''.357 S&W Magnum''', '''.357 Mag''', more rarely '''9x33mm R''') is a pistol cartridge designed in 1934 by Elmer Keith, Philip B. Sharpe and Col. Daniel B. Wesson, and was first produced by Smith & Wesson. This is the first in a long line of the so-called "Magnum era" cartridges, which spawned the creation of ever-more powerful cartridges. It directly descends from [[.38 Special]], in that it has exactly the same dimensions and projectiles used, with the exception of case length ; .357 Magnum cases are longer than .38 Special cases, allowing a greater amount of powder to be used, thus allowing greater velocities to be reached.

'''.357 Magnum''' (also referred to as '''.357 S&amp;W Magnum''') is a large caliber handgun cartridge developed in the inter-war period by Smith & Wesson.<br />

.357 Magnum enjoys tremendeous popularity even to this day; countless revolvers, a number of carbines, and even semi-automatic pistols were produced in this caliber. A favorite of American law enforcement alongside its parent cartridge, the .38 Special, it quickly gained excellent reputation as a proven "man-stopper", and is considered to be a gold standard for personal defense, with which many other cartridges are often compared.

It directly descends from .38 Special, in that it has exactly the same dimensions and projectiles used, with the exception of case length ; .357 Magnum cases are longer than .38 Special cases, allowing a greater amount of powder to be used, thus allowing greater velocities to be reached.

.357 Magnum enjoys tremendeous popularity even to this day; countless revolvers, a number of carbines, and even semi-automatic pistols were produced in this caliber.
