Barrels cuts for .357/.44 calibers is only on the Mark XIX.

I don't think Magnum Research has ever actually called the Mark I the "Mark I". Or at least, they definitely didn't in any of the old advertising I've seen. I get the impression that "Mark I" is a name that was added in retrospect after the newer generations of Desert Eagle were introduced.

Any reason for the Mark I? Like Brian said, it's harder to swap calibers on the Mark I.

On the other hand, I hate rails on anything, so I wouldn't want a Mark XIX. I think that visually, I like the look of the Mark VII the most.
