<\/p>\nThe .357 Magnum is one of the most historically significant cartridges in the country. Released in 1935, at the height of of the \u201cgangster era,\u201d this cartridge was intended to give law enforcement greater firepower against well-armed, and well-armored, criminals.<\/p>\n
At the time, criminals were using vests, as well as car doors and other protections, to shield themselves against lighter and slower police rounds. The .38-calibers being used by law enforcement were unable to penetrate these barriers, creating the need for more velocity and power.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although there were other slight changes, the .357 Magnum is essentially an elongated .38 Special. With a longer case, the cartridge can pack more force behind the bullet, which creates greater velocity and energy, as well as superior terminal ballistics and trajectories. The result was a stronger weapon for the good guys and a cartridge that has remained extremely popular among the gun-owning public.<\/p>\n
Used for hunting, target shooting, and self-defense, the .357 Magnum remains a common sight at gun ranges and hunting grounds across the country.<\/p>\n
.357 Magnum Quick Facts: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Like the .357 Magnum, the 10mm Auto was also adopted by law enforcement to stop dangerous criminals. But in this case, after development it basically sat on the sidelines. After a violent and tragic engagement between FBI agents and bank robbers, the cartridge was given new attention and adopted by federal organizations.<\/p>\n Although the cartridge had been released six years earlier, the 1986 shootout between FBI agents and bank robbers in Miami<\/a> created a new need for the 10mm Auto. After the shootout, which left two agents dead, authorities determined that if the agents had been using more powerful weaponry, the shootout would have likely ended before two agents were killed. This led to the adoption, as well as the adaptation, of the 10mm Auto cartridge.<\/p>\n The 10mm Auto is a cartridge designed specifically for semiautomatic pistols, one of the main reasons it was adopted by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. It generally carries a bullet ranging from 150 to 200 grains, although larger bullets are available. It does not have the massive overall adoption among private users, making it one of the most underrated cartridges in the American collection.<\/p>\n 10mm Auto Quick Facts:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
