.357 REM MAX is one of over 50 Contender calibers still available from the custom shop but mine is an original TC factory barrel. The blue barrel looks a little odd on my stainless pistol but it was all I could find at the time. I shoot Maximum, Magnum, and .38 Special out of it and it's good for anything from small game to deer. They also make a .357/44 BAIN & DAVIS Contender barrel. It's about equal in power to the .357 Maximum and brass is cheap. All you do is run .44 Magnum brass into a resizing die.
