About the Cartridge

This cartridge was developed by Smith & Wesson and Remington, and was introduced for a new heavy-frame 44 Magnum revolver. Today Ruger, Colt, Smith & Wesson and others make revolvers for this cartridge. This is a high powered pistol cartridge designed primarily for hunting. The .44 Magnum offers less power than .50 AE and .454 Casull, but much more than .357 Magnum.

SUPERB HEFTY WEAPONRY

This is a well-constructed,streamlined and accurate handgun representing the legendary craftsmanship Smith & Wesson is known for. Not a pistol for those unsavory about big recoil or loud bangs,being a .44 Magnum of course.The "N" frame makes it more suitable for larger hands like mine but even so,it's plenty to tame! Although rather costly,this S&W 629 Classic .44 Magnum 5" is an excellent,reliable pistol that stands out as both a great-shooter and collector..

Well balanced and husky recoil that tells others you mean business .
