“Tag: .357 Magnum”

There have been many visionaries in the firearms industry—the John Brownings and the Peter Paul Mausers—but we firmly believe that if for nothing other than the .357 Mag. and .44 Mag., Elmer Keith deserves inclusion into that group. The .357 Magnum is a sound and useful design, one that will continue to be enjoyed by shooters and hunters alike for decades to come.

Having hunted with a handgun across the globe over the last five decades, contributor Dick Williams shares his top five big-game handgun hunting cartridges.

The new lightweight, small-frame Ruger LCRx in .357 Magnum can be shot single- or double-action, has an extremely smooth trigger pull and includes features that make recoil highly manageable.

Co-developed by Nighthawk Custom and Korth, the new Ranger sports a 4-inch barrel, interchangeable 9mm and .38 Spl. cylinders, and integrated top and bottom Picatinny rails for mounting optics, lasers, lights or other accessories.

Kimber introduces the K6s DASA, outfitted with a double- and single-action trigger mechanism. Chambered in .357 Mag. and available with a 2- or 3-inch barrel, the lightweight six-shooter is a great choice for backcountry carry and protection.

While there are many handgun hunting cartridges to choose from, these practical all-around choices rise to the top.

The drought has ended: Colt has reintroduced its popular Python revolver, which features significant upgrades to the original design.

New Levtac-92 Lever Actions, from Citadel, are set to arrive at Legacy Sports International in July.

The new Python is a close copy of the original with the internal structural improvements that should provide you and your kids years of service. Fit and finish of the highly polished stainless-steel components are excellent with an attractive set of walnut grips that shame the older Python versions.
