Analysis

Weihrauch introduced the HW 357 in 1977 as an all-steel six-shot .357 Magnum on the Arminius pattern. F.I.E. imported it as the Titan Tiger; after F.I.E. closed, European American Armory continued U.S. import. Factory names include Hunter and Target Trophy Combat for short-barrel and long-barrel target guns. Hermann Weihrauch Revolver GmbH still catalogs the HW 357 in Germany. American used guns are mostly older F.I.E. and EAA imports.
