Lots of respect for this potent revolver cartridge.
But that's just the point, the 357 magnum has traditionally been a revolver bullet.
I know that IMI's Desert Eagle, and Coonan had successfully released pistols to fire this caliber, so I know it could be done.
So my question: why isn't it a 'routine' pistol-type caliber? A 1911 could easily be adapted to fire it? Why don't they do it?
