.357 Magnum Revolver

The  is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The is a single action, fixed-cylinder revolver. It has a very slow firing rate, but makes up for it by being very powerful. The gun is reloaded one bullet at a time and can be interrupted by pushing the fire button (on the plus side it is possible to "top off" the weapon when it is partially empty so you won't have to wait an eternity to reload). This gun requires a character with a strength of 3 or greater. The iron sights are low to the gun with hardly any protrusion and thus are suited more to close range combat than anything.

For some reason .357 long barrel will only show its real size when sprinting or having it holstered. While aiming or standing still, having the revolver unholstered, however, it will somewhat shrink to unmodded.
