.357 auto??

[ChadW]

What exactly is .357 auto? I was on the Smith and Wesson site and saw .357 auto as a caliber category.

Smith & Wesson

What is the difference between .357 auto and .357sig?

I'm pretty sure this is just the 357 SIG and S&W doesn't want to use the word "SIG" on their web site. So far as I know there is no "357 AUTO" just the 357 SIG.

But they do have .357sig listed as well. That's why I'm confused.

It is strange, and they even have two SKUs, but I still think that there is only a 357 SIG.

You might give them a call tomorrow, they are very helpful over the phone.

Chad: Coonan produced an actual 1911 style autoloader pistol in .357 mag. It had feeding problems as their magazines were a little iffy. The grip was very deep to accommodate the length of the .357 and a lot of people just couldn't grip it properly. While it was a quality built gun, it quickly went the way of the dinosaurs. ......

I'm sure it's just a marketing thing; .357 Auto = .357 SIG.
