Stainless Steel & Stopping Power: Our Top .357 Magnum Revolvers

April 14, 2023 | 0 Comments

Blog cover, which displays Colt Python and reads ".357 Mag Revolvers. Stainless Stopping Power"

One of the most popular guns on the market, .357 Magnum revolvers are known for their power and dependable performance. Whether you’re out hunting, at the range, or looking to defend yourself, .357 Magnum ammo packs the power you need for any situation. Pair this caliber with a classic stainless steel revolver, and you have a gun that looks amazing and delivers versatility and reliability. Today, we’re going to look at what makes these guns the preferred choice of many shooters and then look at some of the most popular models and ammo we offer.

The Background

The .357 Magnum caliber was first manufactured in the mid-1930s during the gangster/mob era of the Great Depression. It’s based upon the older design of the .38 Special but delivers higher muzzle velocity and energy, making it better for defense. The .38 Special delivers a maximum muzzle velocity of around 1000 fps with approximately 250-300 ft-lbs of force. While this was decent, it couldn’t penetrate light cover. The new, more powerful 357 Magnum was born out of this need, delivering muzzle velocities of 1,000-1,300 fps and a force of roughly 500-700 ft-lbs and penetrating light cover with ease.

The reason we’re covering stainless steel revolvers is because of the durability and flexibility that they offer. In addition to featuring the mechanically simple function, a stainless steel revolver is also extremely resistant to corrosion and rust. This allows more flexibility with the cleaning, usage, and storage of the revolver. It’s also an important consideration for those that live in a more humid or wet climate, as a gun that’s not stainless steel may be prone to rust or corrode quicker.

Another detail worth noting. Since these revolvers are chambered in .357 Magnum, they’re all capable of handling .38 Special and .38 SPL +P rounds as well. This is because normal .38 Special and the +P rounds have the same diameter as .357 Mag but deliver lower pressures. So as a result, all of these revolvers on the list can handle .38 Special and .38 SPL +P rounds.

The Revolvers

With that background established, now we can look at some of our most popular stainless 357 Magnum revolvers!

Best Home Defense Firearms Series Part 3: Rifles

This blog is part 3 in a 3 part series covering the best home defense guns.

Best Home Defense Firearms Series Part III: Rifles from GrabAGun

Wrapping up our series to help you find the best guns for home defense, we’re moving on to our final category of home defense firearms. Offering a variety of unique benefits, rifles like AR15s, AK47s, and carbines display great performance in a variety of shooting situations, including home defense. If you’re interested in finding a home defense rifle of your own, keep reading to see some of our top picks for the best home defense rifles here at GrabAGun!

Our Top Home Defense Rifles

As previously mentioned, a semi-auto rifle, like an AR-15 or a carbine, is an excellent choice for home defense due to the features offered. Designed with sporting and tactical use in mind, the construction of these rifles is lightweight and durable, allowing them to easily be wielded and maneuvered in virtually any situation. Their construction also allows for customization and the mounting of accessories like optics, lasers, flashlights, slings, etc., making it easy to build a gun that works best for you.

The performance of rifles like AR15s and carbines is another reason they’re good for home defense. Their high-capacity mags mean you don’t have to worry about running out of ammo. Additionally, since most models fire 5.56 NATO, .223 Remington, or similar ammo, these rifles deliver more than enough stopping power. While overpenetration can be a concern in a home defense situation, the increased accuracy of a rifle, along with the design and lighter grain of a defense round, reduces the likelihood that a round will penetrate multiple walls if a shot misses the target.

Now that we’ve gotten to look at some of the benefits of rifles for home defense, there still remains the question of which one is right for you. To help in your search, we’re now going to look at some of our favorite home defense rifles at GrabAGun!

Colt Rifles

It can’t be possible that Colt could be one of the main contenders for 1911 pistols, revolvers, AND AR-15s, right? Wrong! Unlike many other brands, Colt didn’t jump on the AR-15 bandwagon, they were the originators of it. And one of their very best is the Colt M4 Carbine. Out of all of the AR-15 configurations, Colt knocks it out of the park with the Colt AR-15 A4 and M4 Carbine and many reviewers see Colt as the brand to compare all other AR-15 rifles to. If you are already a fan of the classic Colt handguns and revolvers, why not add an AR-15 Colt rifle to your collection?

Colt M4 Carbine

Built off of the Colt M4, the Colt M4 Carbine is by far one of the most popular AR-15 rifles of all time! Simple and lightweight, this rifle has great maneuverability and exceptional performance that Colt is known for. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, it has a 16.1-inch barrel, a Magpul rear sight, and a 30-round magazine. It also has a 4-position collapsible stock for easy carry and storage.

AR-15 A4

Not as many companies are producing the full-size AR-15 rifle, but the Colt AR-15 A4 is one of the best out there. This AR 15 Colt rifle is chambered for 5.56 NATO (.223 Remington) and has a 20-inch barrel. This barrel provides greater shooter accuracy, especially with the combination of the A2 front sight and carry handle rear sight. It features an A2 flash hider and fixed stock, a black metal finish, and comes with one high capacity 30-round PMAG magazine.

For all of the reasons mentioned above, the Colt AR-15 A4 is perfect for target shooting and competition, but that isn’t all you have to use it for. Because of the length of this weapon, it may not have as much maneuverability as the Colt M4 Carbine, but it has great accuracy for a range day or for varmint hunting. This gas operated Colt AR is based on the direct impingement system and is conveniently finger adjustable. This means you won’t have to be inconvenienced by carting around unnecessary weight of extra tools. If you are serious about your firearms, this is the ideal choice for you.

Colt in History

The Colt Single Action Army, also called Colt .45 and the Peacemaker is a single-action revolver holding six cartridges. It was developed for the U. S. government service trials in 1872 and was the standard military service revolver until 1892.

The Colt Single Action Army Revolver was available in 4 ¾”, 5 ½”, and the Cavalry standard 7 ½”. Though Colt has discontinued production twice, popular demand has brought it back each time. Today it is popular among many revolvers for sale among collectors and reenactors. The Colt Single Action Army has been one of the most influential guns in history, influencing the production of other models by other gun manufacturers.

The Single Action Army Revolver was one of the pistols that replaced the Colt 1860 Army Percussion Revolver and ultimately remained in favor until 1892 when it was replaced by the .38 Long Colt, a double action revolver with a swing out cylinder.

Colt next introduced the Colt Frontier Six-Shooter, which was an 1873 Colt Model P type of revolver, chambered in .44-40 Winchester rather than .45 Colt. This design’s ammunition is compatible with the Winchester Model 73, and the same ammunition is used for both pistol and rifle, which increased its popularity. Production of the Colt Frontier began in 1877. Its name was acid etched on the left side of the barrel, until 1889 when it was roll-stamped until 1919 when .44-40 was added.

Popular Owners of Colt

In history, outlaw Jesse James used a pair of Colt Single Action Army .45 Revolvers while his brother Frank used the Colt Model P Percussion. Other famous figures who were diehard fans of the Colt Single Action Army: Bat Masterson who ordered 8 from the factory, Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, William Bonney, Pat Garrett, Butch Cassidy, Theodore Roosevelt, George S. Patton, and Ulysses S. Grant.

Colt Today

Today, an all original U. S. Cavalry and Artillery Single Action Army in good condition (produced from 1873 to 1891) are very valuable. The most valuable are those inspected by Orville Wood Ainsworth (stamped OWA) and the even rarer Henry Nettleton (stamped HN) inspected Single Action Army Colts, with the latter two being worth over $10,000 in good condition.

The Single Action Army remains in production and is popular among our pistols in multiple finishes and barrel lengths. It is also offered in six different chamberings for a total of 36 variations.

GrabAGun’s extensive inventory includes the Colt Single Action Army pistols for sale in various lengths, calibers, and models; as well as a large number of other pistols among semi-automatic pistols, revolvers and derringers. Check out what variations GrabAGun has available.
