Knew a guy who was a nut about them. And reports seem to confirm this. HOWEVER...there's the thing about ammo. It's not everywhere, and of course you can reload, but I believe choices aren't all that universal and prices are high. The other thing is in 20 years, .38/.357 ammo will still be around. I'm not so sure about the .32 H&R Mag. So in that regard, it is what it is and so long as you go into it with your eyes wide open, you're good.
