I personally like revolvers in semiauto rimless calibers. I don't like moon clips being a requirement for a carry gun. If I want to shoot 9mm or a rimless round, I'll buy a handgun designed for it.

IMHO, I think the logic is silly not to buy a revolver you want in the caliber you want because of the prices of a specific semi-automatic caliber. So if 45acp rises to 50cpr and 38spc remains the same at .32cpr, you'd happily would buy the 38spc/357mag revolver you want, but because 45acp is a similar price as 38spc, you're not going to buy a revolver in the caliber you want. I guess if prices drop and 38spc and 45acp are both 10cpr, you still couldn't bring yourself to buy a 38spc or 9mm handgun because they're priced the same or more than 45acp? Using the same logic, those who purchased or plan on purchasing the new S&W 432 or 632 UC in 32 H&R should not purchase what they want because the larger calibers are less expensive... It just makes little sense to me. Plus, 40s&w, 45acp, 38spc, and 357mag were in the realm of similar price points as far as I've seen over the last decade.

To each their own though. Hopefully prices for 45acp will go up at least for a short period of time so you can finally buy the 38/357 revolver you want.
