Hello, gents,

I'm new to the forum here, and will post an intro fairly quick in the members forum, but I have a question which I've been hoping to have answered. I've asked Bowen Firearms about this, but did not get a response.

I have a 38/44 HD as well, 5-inch gun and have toyed with the idea of selling it. I don't roll my own, and I prefer the envelope of the .357 Magnum over .38 special.

Is there a way to SAFELY have this weapon modified by someone like the folks at Bowen to fire .357 Magnum loads, or will I be better served by selling it and acquiring a dedicated .357 Magnum instead?

The question I have is relative to the feasibility of the project versus the cost.

Any answer you have is appreciated. I do not want to ruin the firearm nor contribute to a life-threatening incident, so conservative answers are more than welcome

Thanks folks,

Parker (I use my first name on any other forum I frequent, but it was taken here, thusly, I am known as h2htusk-chicago at this forum)
