Cimarron Thunderer Revolver .357 Magnum 3-1/2" Case Hardened 1-Piece Walnut Smooth Standard Blue
NOTE: Beware of fakes! The ‘Thunderer ®’ was designed in 1990 by Cimarron founder and president “Texas Jack” Harvey and is produced only by A. Uberti exclusively for Cimarron Firearms Co.
To paraphrase the famed film director John Ford, ”If this isn’t the way the old west six guns were, it’s the way they should have been!’ Firearms buffs have often wondered why the single action was never produced in the 19th century with the grips of the double-action Thunderer ® revolvers. Now you can have the best of both worlds, in four handsome and practical barrel lengths. The compact 3 1/2-incher is a superb carry single-action. This mating of two popular frontier six-shooters has given birth to one of today’s most sought after single action wheel guns!” - Phil Spangenberger -

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 357 Magnum was introduced by Smith & Wesson in 1935 and initially chambered in their heavy-frame double-action revolver, the 357 was the first "magnum" handgun. Based on the 38 Special case lengthened to 1.29 inches, it was the world's most powerful handgun cartridge until the 44 Magnum. Offering considerably more power and penetration than the 38 Special, it was standard among many law enforcement agencies for decades. It is still widely manufactured in double- and single-action revolvers (and some rifles), available from virtually all revolver manufacturers; and all manufacturers of handgun ammunition offer a variety of 357 Magnum loads. It is a common choice for personal defense, and 357 revolvers have the advantage of handling less expensive and lighter-recoiling 38 Special loads for practice. As a hunting cartridge the 357 Magnum is probably the lightest cartridge that should be considered for deer-sized game. — Craig Boddington
