Just noticed on the updated USFA website that they are now offering the SAA in .357 Magnum!  It is listed under the "dual chambering" option for an additional $210.
Now here is my question.  With the other dual chambering offerings, .44 & 44-40, .45 & .45acp, .38 WCF & 41 Colt, you get an extra cylinder.  Why an extra cylinder for the .357 when you can shoot .38's through a .357 all day long?  And... is the barrel marked .357 or .38?  Are they still using the conical firing pin with the .357 or are they going with the tapered firing pin, allowing for the smaller holed recoil plate?
One way or another, I think I'm going to have to get me one of those!

Also...  My local dealer (who always has a few USFA's for sale) told me that he had heard they were going to discontinue the Lightning Rifle line.

Hmmm and here I was thinking about ordering a deluxe lightening too.
