Full name '''.357 Smith &amp; Wesson Magnum''', the cartridge was created collaboratively during the mid-1930s in the United States to respond to the Colt '''.38 Super Auto''', a similar caliber that was known to be the by-then first caliber to be able to punch through early ballistic vests and automobile cover, in the era famously dubbed as the &quot;Gangster Era&quot;.

Based on the [[.38 Special]], popular in the police and law enforcement universe in the United States, the .357 Magnum caliber is an elongated, more powerful version of the former. Although .38 and .357 may seem like being different diameters, the only major difference between the two cartridges is one of length - the .357 Magnum is longer, but of the same diameter. As such, '''it is possible to fire [[.38 Special]] cartridges in .357 Magnum '''revolvers''' (but not semi-automatic handguns, as they will not feed properly in magazines).

Performance-wise, '''.357 Magnum''' is widely regarded as one of the best self-defense calibers in the world, with hollow point versions being considered the absolute gold standard in terms of stopping power for a handgun cartridge. It is suited for use in revolvers (such as the famous [[Colt Python]]), semi-automatic handguns (such as the [[IMI Desert Eagle Mark I|.357 variant of the Desert Eagle]]), and carbines (like the '''Marlin Model 1894C''').
