Tabs is correct. What he didn't say was that the reason the others outsold the "357" is because of the handwork that went into each "357". The "357" actually fit in the lineup between the Trooper and the Python. It (the 357) had the fit and finish of the Python but one could get the same functionality from the Trooper at much less cost. Somewhere down the road, the limited production of the "357" will increase it's collectability and thus price!
