The .357 magnum revolver is a single action, fixed-cylinder revolver that fires [[.357 magnum round|.357 magnum]] and [[.357 magnum round|.38 special]] rounds. It has an average firing rate, but makes up for it with a somewhat more powerful damage output. Its fixed cylinder is reloaded by hand one round at a time through the loading gate, and a complete reload takes significantly longer than with most other revolvers. However, the process can be interrupted after at least one round is loaded and the gun fired immediately. The rapid-reload perk does help somewhat, but will not eliminate the problem.

The iron sights are low to the gun with hardly any protrusion, and thus are suited more to close-range combat. The .357 cannot jam, making it a reliable weapon. It is considered an [[Holdout weapons|improved holdout weapon]], and can be concealed and taken into weapon-free locations with 50 or greater [[Sneak (skill)|Sneak]] [[Fallout: New Vegas skills|skill]]. The .357 magnum revolver can be an effective weapon in earlier levels, as there is an abundance of both the weapon itself and its associated ammunition types. Its utility decreases once the player starts encountering tougher enemies that require multiple shots to bring down and he/she often finding him/herself retreating from enemies as they endure the long reload animation.

The .357 magnum revolver is visually represented as a somewhat worn, medium-gray revolver. While the action and barrel are constructed of steel or iron, the grip appears to be carved from an antler. Some two hundred years ago this was likely a fine, highly performing weapon, but years of elemental and human abuse have eroded the pistol, leaving it a weathered, though still serviceable revolver.

The .357 Magnum revolver is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics

The .357 Magnum revolver is a single action, fixed-cylinder revolver that fires .357 Magnum and .38 special rounds. It has an average firing rate but makes up for it with a fairly powerful damage output. Its fixed cylinder is reloaded by hand one round at a time through the loading gate, as such it can be interrupted mid-way through reloading and fired if needed.

The iron sights are low to the gun with hardly any protrusion and thus are suited more to close-range combat. The .357 cannot jam, making it a reliable weapon. It is considered an improved holdout weapon and can be concealed and taken into weapon-free locations with 50 or greater Sneak skill. The .357 Magnum revolver can be an effective weapon in earlier levels, as there is an abundance of both the weapon itself and its associated ammunition types.

The .357 Magnum revolver is visually represented as a somewhat worn, medium-gray revolver. While the action and barrel are constructed of steel or iron, the grip appears to be carved from an antler. Some two hundred years ago this was likely a fine, highly performing weapon, but years of elemental and human abuse have eroded the pistol, leaving it a weathered, though still serviceable revolver.

Durability

The .357 Magnum revolver can fire a total of about 995 standard rounds, the equivalent of 166 reloads, from full condition before breaking. When modded with the heavy duty cylinder, it can fire a total of about 1,495 standard rounds, the equivalent of 250 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
