History
The .357 Magnum is a long standing cartridge created in 1934. It is typically seen in Revolvers and some Lever Action Rifles. It is very uncommon in Semi-automatic Pistols, with the notable exception of Magnum Research’s Desert Eagle pistol.
The 357 Magnum is useful in that ”’most”’ revolvers that can handle it, also can handle the cut down, less recoil inducing .38 Special cartridge. When in doubt ”’follow the manufacturers manual and directions”’.

Hi Ed – I think you’re going to want to check out brownells.com to get your replacement parts. I’d recommend their “shop by schematics” feature, but here’s the direct link to the GP 100 schematic. You should be able to click on the parts you need from that image:
