About the Cartridge

This is one of the first generation pistol cartridges designed to use smokeless powder. Its performance is modest compared to the .44 Remington Magnum but is very potent compared to the .38 special. The .44 S&W Special round can be fired in modern revolvers chambered for the .44 Remington Magnum.

Excellent big gun without recoil
By Jcgraham3 on 16 Feb 2019
I found this model used and in excellent condition. It has significantly less recoil than the magnum brothers. After installing a trigger kit, this has been a great purchase. Very pleased with this gun, quality seems admirable.
