Several years ago I was looking for a replacement for a 357mag I foolishly sold before going overseas for an extended time(shoulda just stored it) anyway I found a 357max in a pawn shop for half what the 357mags were going for. I asked why and the clerk told me you can't get the bullets anymore as they stopped making that caliber. I immediately bought the gun and after picking it up; I let the clerk know that the max can also fire 357 mag and 38 spec., but I found a source for brass and have probably a lifetime supply so i've rarely shot mags in my max. I agree with a max; you can shoot 44 spec or mag or download the 445's for plinking or to get the recoil in the 41 range. You also end up with a much stronger pistol.
