Maybe getting hung up on the rim of the round below it? If I recall correctly Magnum Research made a .357 Desert Eagle but maybe it was .357 Sig?

No; it was the original rimmed revolver round; the .357 S&W Magnum.
I used to own a .44 Mag Desert Eagle.
The .38spl 1911's were for full wadcutter loads only. The COAL was too long in standard .38spl loads.
