The want $1500 for it.

That's a bit more spendy than they should be I think...but who knows right now. Still the caliber change can be a bit more involved depending upon which base gun you have.
If you have the 50AE or the 44Mag then going to the other caliber is just a barrel and mag swap since the 50AE and the 44Mag have the same bolt face. Going to 357 mag requires a bolt, barrel, mag and I think spring change. Then again I'd bet shooting a 357 mag in a DE would be like shooting 22LR in any other gun!
the DE's are fun and one of the few gas operated handguns. Barrels are fixed so they can be more accurate than traditional recoil operated pistols.
