Should I break down and get a .44 Magnum and/or a .357? To date, my only revolver is in .45 Colt, and I've grown to like the round, looking for other revolvers in the same chambering. But, ammo is expensive (even moreso than .44) and loads with any power to them are difficult to find.
So, should I give up my preferance for the round and buy a .357 and/or a .44 next instead? (I'm not going to sell my 25-5, mind you.) Should I buy a full sized revolver, a snubby, and a lever carbine in .357 or .44 instead of .45 Colt? It'd certainly make things easier for me.
.357 would be cheapest and has the widest variety of guns, but I do prefer big-bore rounds.
.44 Magnum is available in a wide variety of nice guns and is cheaper than .45 Colt. There are also 5-shot .44 Special snubbies out there to go with it.
Your opinions, please. No gun purchases are currently pending; taxes came back. Apparently, the IRS messed up last year and didn't take enough last year, so they're practically doubling the amount I need to send this year.
