  A:

  Hi Andre and welcome. Depends on what your shooting needs are. 1 inch of barrel length in .357 equals on average 50 fps to 80 fps depending on the load. Not a terribly lot in a magnum revolver but the extra ft-lbs of energy may make the difference. Cheers and stay safe!

• Q: Does it show anywhere that it will handle +P rounds ?

  • Answered
  • Asked 07/11/2018 16:47 by Jeffrey S

  A:

  Jeff … +P means that it's a high pressure .38 Special load. The .357 Magnum is a longer, much higher pressure derivative of the .38 Special made by making the cases longer and adding more powder. Both the .38 and .357 can be loaded with the same "bullets". Any guns labeled .357 Magnum can safely fire any .38 Special load from standard target loads to +P or even +P+ law enforcement loads. But you cannot fire .357 Magnums in guns intended and labeled .38 Special … the case length would be too long.
