Why 357 Magnum Became THE Movie Revolver Round

Ask General Patton how he felt about it.

Magnum actually comes from the wine industry where it was used for bottles twice the size of normal. In the gun industry a magnum can be any longer and more powerful case and cartridge but not necessarily double in size.

I probably shouldn't be bothered pointing this out but, Ocalot prefers a pair 45.s Colt Single Action Army's specifically. Although Funny enough, the Army was using 38 Caliber Revovlers before they _demanded_ someone make 45 for there next Pistol, hence the Birth of the Colt 45 M1911. Funny enough, Mauser was in that same shooting competition, with a 45 Caliber Luger (only 2 exist).

But yeah usually when you See a Revolver its usually ether a 38. 45., 357., a 44. (not to be confused with 44 Magnum, that came later), 44 Magnum. Then again its pretty hard to tell when they all look the same, less you check rounds. 45s and 357s probably being the most iconic and common ones though.

I don't actually own a .357 but I have a few friends that do. I have shot them at the range several times. Big recoil, big noise and the low capacity of a revolver. I love revolvers but I would never carry one. I am not ex military or LE. So capacity and the requirement of a follow up shot is important to me. Call me a girly man as many of you will but I am a high capacity 9MM guy. My current carry is a rare Sig P365 with a manual safety.

It’s the magnum opus of revolvers

RE3 OG game was dope 🐐

Also police used .357 for about 40 years starting around 1935 until the 90's. originally used because it could punch thru the heaver bodied cars of the day and early body armor.

The .357 is a real potent animal. Its recoil was manageable for most users, it sounded like a lightning strike, and it could punch through early bullet proofing. You could hunt with it in most states, defending yourself from men and most things in the lower 48 was practical too.
I read accounts of guys packing their normal survival kit in Vietnam aircraft era packs, and adding a better knife and a .357 magnum for situations that require more power. Plus you could always get .38 special from military stocks and use them in the same gun.

Disrespect to the people that always say first

I love the 357 Mag...!!!

Fyi so noobs don't get confused. Ocelot shoots 45 ACP from his revolvers

I would still take the 44 any day. I would pick a 45 colt before the 357

The mango on a horse got me not gonna lie 😅

Who you showed was using a gun was a single action army .45 however. On the theme though.

Gets there quick too, and packs a punch.
🤘😎👍

Trivia: The 45 ACP has 4x the muzzle energy of the 357 magnum, but the 357 has better penetration. This is not an accident. The 45 ACP was intended to knock people down, and so has much more frontal area so the energy is transferred to the target.

If you need more than a 357 you need a rifle.

Here’s a rare fact,, =. .32 long Colt, and .32 Smith & Wesson were the most used ammunition in early America not the .36,,.38, .44 or the .45 calibers ,, most all western movies 🎥 that had client Eastwood star ⭐️ in. Used .32 long Colt,, or .32 Smith & Wesson,,As his pistol and ammunition,of choice ,that he was carrying around..🤠👍😊

I love my S&W .357!!

My grandpa who was in the Navy had a 357 he shot out all 4 tires on my Nana's van here in Arizona trying to kill a snake he got more than just the snake that day 😂😂

Imagine Ocelot duel wielding .44 magnums, he could have been the final boss. 😂

Saying three five seven instead of three fifty seven is wild

Gun nerd alert! That Taurus your claiming is a Colt Python needs fixed.

This video is wrong in basically every way. Remember kids: yootoob is not educational.

The .357 magnum firing a 125 gr. Jacketed hollow point at 1,400-1,500 fps was the gold standard for self defense. Reliable expansion with minimal risk of over penetration. Modern materials and design have resulted in 158 grain hollow points at lower speed for less blast and recoil and better expansion and Reliable penetration.

It's not three five seven magnum, it's three fifty-seven magnum. You have to say it that way in order to sound cool.

Very friendly shooting 🎩☕️

Three Fifty Seven for gosh sake. Not Three Five Seven

S&W 686-4 every day, everywhere. If my hog leg aint welcome neither am I.

Literally no one, anywhere, ever says "three, five, seven magnum". The way it's said is three fifty-seven magnum. 😒

Pop thought the Cobra was a PDW- they looked like a toy in his giant hands. 👍

Mango is deep.

I know it’s animated, but why does the finger on the trigger still bug me????

Rick Grimes 🔫🔫🔫🔫

If patsy is there……it won’t be cinematic

Love a .357! Powerful enough to carry in the wild (minus large bears), and does pretty much everything else you want a pistol to do. Darned accurate too.

i like the mango more than the indifferent jerk

Turn this crap off and do some real research.

It desert eagle now

And then 10MM put that power in an auto format. Although, I must say loading a 115Gr FMJ into a .357mag with compressed powder you can get well over 2000FPS.

Mango needs to go😮

Three fifty seven magnum is my favorite pistol. They got good penetration

Ruger gp100 is my hiking gun here in California. It can handle any of the predators in the state with very manageable follow up shots. I have a 44 but putting more than one shot on target takes a lot more time than the 357 so I only bring the 357 for hikes and a shotgun for the tent

Because up to the middle 2000s the .357 Magnum was the number man stopping round in the world.

.44 mag where its at!

.357mag was used in lever guns in the late 1800s before being in revolvers in the 1930s

I still love the colt python revolver best sidearm ever.

The Colt Python is the glamor, but the S&W N, K, and later L frame series were the workhorses. When I turned 21, I bought my first handgun: a S&W Model 19-2, 4" barrel. I still have it 45 years later. Lighter and easier to carry than the Colt, but it still launches the same bullet. No disrespect to the Python at all.

My grandfather had a Ruger security 6 stainless steel with the original handles three fifty seven and thirty eight special that was the first gun I ever learned to shoot, and when he passed away, I inherited that beauty I have since found a blued version of this gun and I have him as a pair, and hopefully soon, I plan to finally display These in a case\n Because honestly, it's a very beautiful gun, and every time I see them security sixes, I'm reminded of him.\n And The Times we used to have out in the back of the pasture shooting bottles. It was some of the best times I had my life

S&W model 19 is a great gun to have around the house.

.357: when you wanna send an alligator out of a barrel

I absolutely Love my
.357 Colt Python in 4.25. Sometimes I just clean it to just handle it more often.😅

Imma be real. No idea where tactical ninja kilt and Mango Operator came from, but man are they engaging

Certain police agencies told their officers that they can use .357 revolver but could only load .38sp to prevent overpenetration. 7 rounds instead of 5. A gun meant for .357 pressures only shooting 38 sp +p.

Things never breaking lol

From tactical mango to cowboy cowboy mango

Oh... took me a day, it is Agent Orange.

Picked up a used Python in 1993 3inch barrel, custom molded grip.... 850.00
I should have kept it.
Traded it for a Browning Hi-Power

FBI standard issue in the 80s was a Model 13, which is a .357 Mag, although they went for 158gr .38+P ammo. San Francisco PD used Pythons in the 80s.

.357 first revolver I owned .. was my father's still believe if you need more then six rounds you need practice.

It came DIRECTLY from the .38 Special. It came ULTIMATELY from the .36 caliber spherical ball of the Pennsylvania rifle because 36 caliber spheres happen to be the size that produces 100 balls from a pound of lead.

In like wise the muzzle of the Brown Bess smoothbore musket accommodated a dozen spheres from a pound of lead. Its bore - 73 caliber / 18.5 mm - eventally became the 12 gauge shotshell.

These guys and the other guy who does similar shorts are dropping so much knowledge hidden as basic entertainment and I am here for it.
