I'm older and the 357 was the feared round. I watched Dirty Harry when it came out and the 44 magnum was awesome but you had to be Clint Eastwood to carry that kind of gun for a carry gun. Even when Magnum force came out no one was manly enough.

I own the Dan Wesson 357, 2.5, 4, 6 and 8 inch barrels. The are interchangeable barrels. I bought a 4 inch 44, when I was in Iraq I emailed them and asked for a 2.5 inch barrel, they said they didn't make one. I sent a bunch of pictures around Iraq and told them if they had any questions let me know. They emailed me back and said they would make me the barrel. So know I have it in 4 inch and 2.5 inch.

Its too ad the market is not big for them. They made a heavy gun, great for buffalo rounds, but its not a small conceal carry gun.
