I recently saw one advertised. Searching here the model is identified as a .357 Supermag. Did such a beast exist? How would you determine if it was a model 40 rather than simply a .44 magnum? I''m not really interested in the gun, just curious as I learn more about models.
Thanks

I saw that too- it appears to be a case of the owner not knowing what they have. That's common with DW listings. They actually have a Model 44 for sale- not a Supermag at all. The Supermags have noticeably longer frames and cylinders. Additionally the OEM shroud is (either slotted and) stamped 'Supermag'.

Mistaken model designations happens quite frequently on GB because many people lack intellectual curiousity. I have recently seen a model 15 called a 12, a 14-2 called a 15-2 and a 44 called a 41 chambered in 44. When a gun is misnamed everyrhing else in the listing is suspect and the selling price is usually lower than it could be. By the way, there is a NIB .375 SM for sale with brass. BOY, am I tempted.Already have two NIB's not sure if I can stand a third. If a forum member was interested it would relieve me of temptation.

I'm watching that 375, mine aren't NIB so looking to add one if it doesn't go ballistic at the end.

Its hard to tell but it does look like a faint line above the cylinder face. Maybe not NIB but LNIB?
