Famed 4" Barrel
.357 Magnum Replica Revolver
for Stage Prop or Collection
357 Police Magnum Replica. A Classic
"Dirty Harry" police style high-power magnum. Features include swing out six
shot cylinder and working double action.
The .357 Magnum was collaboratively developed over a
period in the early to mid-1930s by a group of individuals in a direct response
to Colt's .38 Super Automatic. At the time, the .38 Super was the only American
pistol cartridge capable of defeating automobile cover and the early ballistic
vests that were just beginning to emerge in the post-World War I "Gangster
Era."[6] Tests at the time revealed that those vests defeated any handgun
cartridge traveling at less than about 1000 ft/s. Colt's .38 Super Automatic
just edged over that velocity and was able to penetrate car doors and vests that
bootleggers and gangsters were employing as cover.
Though .38 and .357 would seem to be different-diameter chamberings, they are in
fact identical. 0.357 inch is the true bullet diameter of the .38 Special
cartridge. The .38 Special nomenclature relates to the previous use of heeled
bullets (such as the .38 Short Colt), which were the same diameter as the case.
In order to reassert itself as the
leading law enforcement armament provider, Smith & Wesson developed the .357
Magnum, with Colonel D. B. Wesson leading the effort within Smith & Wesson,
along with considerable technical assistance from Phillip B. Sharpe, a member of
the Technical Division Staff of the National Rifle Association. The new round
was developed from Smith & Wesson's existing .38 Special round. It used a
different powder load, and ultimately the case was extended by 1/8 of an inch

Netlink Enterprises Review:
Although this replica looks good at first glance we do not necessarily recommend
this product. The plastic grips tend to crack and the the cylinder does not
always spin properly. We continue to sell these because we recognize some people
may still have a need for the item, however we wanted to make the customer aware
of these issues
