Just want to get some views on what some of you guys think about this round. Also, I am looking to trade up to a .44 magnum. Let me know if you want to wheel and deal (if anyone has a .44 that they are looking to get rid of).

I would think about anticipated shooting conditions and safety. A .44, for instance, has stopping power but will usually lose momentum quickly and stay in the target, because it has less velocity than the .357 and the bigger diameter makes for more deformation in flight, so if you anticipate having to stop someone in a crowd for instance, or don't know what might be behind your target, I'd recommend that as a .357 will often go right on through.
