Semi Autos in 357 Magnum ?

[mmattockx]

I believe the OP was looking for a Semi-Auto in 357 Auto Mag specifically.
I'm not sure how popular these cartridges/guns ever became, as the recoil from such rounds would be unpleasant in a semi auto action.

No worse than full house 10mm Auto loads.

357 has more punch then a standard 10mm load doesnt it?

Commercial loads, yes, but they are barely hotter than .40S&W. My Hornady manual shows max 10mm loads as pushing 200gr bullets@1150fps and 180gr@1250fps. For comparison, it gives max .357 loads as 180gr@1150fps. And that is out of an 8" barrel as compared to a 5" barrel for the 10mm.

There's always the Mateba... if you can find one...

Have fun with finding them. Just under 2,000 were made. Last I knew only 3 were in Canada.

if your want big bang in semi-auto, then I'd recommend a .44Mag Desert Eagle as there isn't an alternative; 10mm Auto after that (chose any make of gun).

Revolvers really are the way to go for big Magnum blast, but, they also have massive amounts of recoil. I broke my wrist a while back and can no longer enjoy monstrous energy through my shooting hand... hurts too much.

All I know of is the Desert Eagle and the Coonan 1911.

Yea, if you want .357 in an auto, what you really want is a 10mm.

X2. There is no substitute for 10mm auto

 

[Jeff/1911]

The 10mm is wonderful. It's pretty hard to beat a Glock 20.

 

[MegaMonkeyChunk]

Just came back to help with the praising of the 10mm Auto. Its definitely the best overall package for pistols.

10mm will make your #### grow 3". Rumor is anyway.

What about the coonan? take a look at questars site for more info. 1911 chambered for the 357 mag.

357 is a 9mm magnum. So when the old lady is done with it I can sell it to you. Lmao!
