From Coonan:
Coonan, Inc. is proud to announce the new Compensated Pistol to its .357 Magnum Automatic line. With an extended barrel length to 5.7”, the Compensated Pistol is ideal for reduced recoil resulting in greater accuracy from a top-of-the-line performer.
The SAR 357 is a revolver made by Sarsilmaz and chambered for the .357 Magnum cartridge. The handgun bears a resemblance to the classic Smith & Wesson revolvers and has several features like the Smith guns.
I had a chance to get a feel for one at the SAR Arms exhibit at the 2013 SHOT Show. The sales staff was busy with many other customers, so I did not get a chance to draw out a lof of details about this pistol, but what I know I will share here.
The new Coonan Silver Bullets are likely the ultimate piece in your anti-werewolf arsenal. Just released, these new .357 Magnum rounds feature bullets that are jacketed in 99% pure silver.
Exact specs are not available on the cartridges, but assume they are powerful enough to both reliably cycle the Coonan .357 Magnum 1911 and to drop the evil undead in their tracks.
The rounds are loaded for Coonan by Atomic Ammunition, a company that manufactures match ammo that is smokin’ hot. According to Coonan’s Facebook page, these rounds are “…loaded very hot.”
Ruger announced two new SP101 revolvers. Both SP101 revolvers are larger, target-sized revolvers featuring longer barrels and fiber optic sights.
The two new Ruger revolvers are very similar in appearance and demensions. The first is chambered in the classic .357 Magnum cartridge, while the second new model is chambered in the ubiquitous .22 LR. Capacity on the Magnum is five rounds, while the rimfire will hold eight cartridges.
Both models use a 4.2″ long barrel. Ruger outfitted both of these new handguns with a green fiber optic front sight and an adjustable rear sight. Like the other models in the SP101 line, the frame, cylinder and barrel are all made of stainless steel with a satin stainless finish.
This video is of the 2″ Chippa Rhino revolver chambered in .357 Magnum being fired. The lack of muzzle flip is pretty impressive, as is the fireball that a short barrel .357 Magnum can make.
The load was the .357 Magnum Federal Classic 125 grain JHP. Watch the target video in the upper left corner as it is fired. Combat accuracy/speed appears to be very good.

Crimson Trace announced the LG-411 Lasergrips are a perfect fit for the new .357 Magnum version of the Ruger LCR.

Ruger just announced the LCR will now be chambered in .357 Magnum. The .357 LCR has been speculated about ever since the LCR was introduced at the 2009 SHOT Show, and now it is a reality.
Just one day ahead of the NRA Annual Meeting, the lightweight .357 Magnum from Ruger will likely be a hit.
The new Ruger LCR is a five shot revolver with a 1.88″ barrel and weighs in at a mere 17.1 ounces (unloaded.) Like the original LCR, the .357 Magnum version features Hogue Tamer grips on a polymer frame with a wide notch rear sight and a pinned front sight.
