      Buying .357 Magnum Rifles & Pistols in Australia

      Magnum Sports lists 134 firearms chambered in .357 Magnum, with 52 available to buy today. The collection is split between 82 handguns and 52 rifles, led by Smith & Wesson, Uberti, Henry, Chiappa, Ruger and Magnum Research. The .357 Magnum is a revolver cartridge that also feeds .38 Special, and in Australia it is used for pistol club target shooting, Western Action matches and, in lever-action carbines, short-range hunting of pigs and goats.

      In NSW the lever-action, single-shot and bolt-action rifles here are Category B and the revolvers and pistols are Category H. Either way you need a current licence in the right category plus a Permit to Acquire (PTA) for each firearm. Since 1 July 2026 a PTA is only issued once the applicant shows they meet the safe-storage requirements, and new and renewed licences run for a maximum of two years. A probationary Category H holder is limited to .22 rimfire and air pistols for the first 6 months; after that .357 sits within the .38 calibre limit for sport handguns, with semi-autos needing a barrel of at least 120 mm and a magazine of 10 rounds or fewer. NSW reforms that move lever-action rifles into Category C have passed but are not yet in force; current categories apply until they commence.

      The cheapest available rifle is the Citadel Levtac 92 at $989, and revolvers start at $1,224 for the Taurus 689. Most lever guns and revolvers sit around $1,800–$2,700, and the Desert Eagle runs $3,505–$5,791 in stock, with Korth revolvers reaching $9,520 on order.

      For a first .357 lever gun, the Rossi Puma Classic, Henry Big Boy Steel or Marlin 1894 Classic are all in stock and handle both .357 and .38 Special. Western Action shooters usually pair an Uberti 1873 rifle with Uberti Cattleman or Ruger Vaquero revolvers. For club target work the Smith & Wesson Model 686 and Ruger GP100 Stainless are the proven double-action choices, while the Chiappa Rhino 60DS suits shooters who want a low-bore-axis revolver.
