Re: 357 vs 44 mag vs 44-40 popularity in lever guns

.

I rarely see a .357 on the shelf at the LGS, where I often see several .44's.

I don't know if that means .357s sell so fast they're hard to find. or that they sell more .44's so they order more.

I own an 1894C in .357, and have no real use for a .44.
