Default ammo prices influencing gun prices?

I have noticed in my casual search for a 27-2 8 3/8 in nickel that the same model in .44 mag is a bit less. Also any 45 ACP p&r is higher than the .44 as well. About even or more with the 27-2 gun for gun Clean Model17/K22's are sometimes higher than the .44 as well. Model 57's are also a bit lower than the 27-2's The 58's seem to be in an area all their own but clean 28's are close to being equal. Seems to be all about ammo cost as most casual shooters don't reload. I would guess that would include about 80-90% of all rounds fires. Any thoughts or input?

All the best,
Ischia
