	.44 Magnum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The.44 Magnum cartridge was developed in 1956 by handloaders who had "souped-up" the.44 Special and other big bore handgun cartridges for better hunting performance.
		The only magnum handgun chambering more popular than the.44 is the.357 Magnum, which was not primarily designed as a big game cartridge, though it is used by some for deer.
		The.44 Magnum is a large-bore, dual-use cartridge designed for revolvers; however it is also used in many rifles as well.

	Smith & Wesson's 44 Magnum
		Magnum loads are very unpleasant to shoot with, and I don't even like to be on the firing line when someone is using them.
		Had the.41 Magnum been introduced as a ".41 S&W" with a standard velocity 200grs FMJ set at 950 fps as requested by Jordan and others the.41 would most likely be a very popular gun today instead of being a specialty caliber.
		The.357 Magnum had been on the scene for some 30 years and was just beginning to find acceptance and most departments were still happy with the marginally adequate.38 Special.

	44 magnum revolvers
		It was a 308 case out to the length of the 44 Magnum revolver cartridge, sized to 44 caliber, and loaded with a 44 pistol bullet.
		The.44 Magnum and.45 Colt caliber Titanium revolvers are a handful and not for the faint of heart.
		It is our view that the 44 Magnum is best chambered in the revolver, and we build our ammo to perform to full potential in the revolver.

	.44 Special - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The.44 Special is a less powerful ".44 Magnum Lite" in much that same way that the.38 Special is a less powerful ".357 Magnum Lite." While many shooters prefer.44 Magnum ammunition for hunting or self-defense, they choose the lighter recoil of.44 Special ammunition for plinking or target shooting.
		This is because the.44 Magnum cartridge is a lengthened.44 Special cartridge.
		While few firearms today are made to chamber the.44 Special explicitly, the cartridge lives on because it can be fired in any revolver designed for the.44 Magnum cartridge.

	Desert Eagle
		In 1986, a.44 Magnum version of the pistol was perfected; it was the very first semi-automatic.44 Magnum pistol successfully brought to market.
		Magnum Research, Inc. patented the basic design of the Desert Eagle in 1980, and the first working prototype of the pistol was completed in 1981.
		The final refinements to the pistol were made by Israel Military Industries (IMI), under contract to Magnum Research, Inc. After research that included thousands of rounds of test-firing, a fully functional.357 Magnum production model was produced in an edition of just over 1,000 pistols.

	The 44 Magnum Sixgun
		The.44 Magnum is now well into its fifth decade and it seems good to look back at the history of this excellent, even all-around sixgun load and some of the fine guns that have been made and are still being made for the big forty-four.
		Of the nearly 30,000.44 Magnum Blackhawks produced, around 1,000 each were made in seven and one-half inch and ten-inch lengths and all the rest were six and one- half inchers.
		The first prototype Ruger.44 Magnums on the.357 frame were in the standard Colt Single Action barrel lengths but for some strange reason when the.44 Blackhawk became a reality the barrel length was six and one-half inches.

	THR - A .44 magnum Marlin question...
		Now, that said, the recoil of the 1894 shooting stout 44 Magnum loads is a pretty good shove, almost like a shotgun (opposed to the punch of the 30-06).
		January 28th, 2003 05:38 PM I've never shot a rifle in 44 Magnum but have shot plenty of mild and not so mild 45 Colt and 44 Magnum rounds through revolvers.
		The.44 Magnum is of course a bit stouter but certainly well within manageable limits.

	Gallery of Guns - Shooting Times - Gun Reviews
		This early.44 Magnum Blackhawk is the one that has come to be called the Ruger Flattop because of its flat topstrap, and it was built from 1956 until 1963.
		Sure, I like the.45 Colt, the.454 Casull, even the.41 Magnum, but for continued use in rough country as well as in the hunting fields, the various loadings of the.44 Magnum are just plenty hard to beat.
		To begin with the Super Blackhawk is a big, stout revolver that's capable of handling all.44 Magnum factory ammunition and any reasonable handload with a degree of shooter comfort that is not found in many other.44 Magnum revolvers.

	Desert Eagle
		A.44 Magnum version soon followed, and in 1994 the gun was chambered for the potent.50 Action Express cartridge.
		Now produced in the United States by Magnum Research, today's Mark XIX Desert Eagle uses a single platform to accommodate four different hard-hitting hunting rounds.
		When Magnum Research introduced the Desert Eagle in 1982, it caused quite a commotion.

	The Fabulous .44 Mag
		The.44 Magnum is an extremely accurate cartridge limited mainly by open sights and a revolving cylinder.
		One of my favorite references says this about the.44 Remington Magnum: "It takes a seasoned handgunner to shoot it well as both recoil and muzzle blast are considerable." Maybe.
		The ultimate result, in a cooperative effort between Remington (ammo) and Smith & Wesson (revolver), was the.44 Remington Magnum, introduced in the mid-1950s.

	SIXGUNS BEYOND THE44 Magnum
		No one ever forgot the first time they fired a.44 Magnum whether it was in one of the Smith and Wesson.44's, that in those pre-Model number days was simply referred to as the '.44 Magnum', or the Ruger.44 Blackhawk.
		Major Hatcher of the NRA staff at the time compared firing the.44 Magnum to being hit in the hand with a baseball bat and he was not far wrong.
		The.454 operated at Magnum velocities while the.500 Linebaugh chugged along at more sluggish velocities but did it with 440 grain bullets.

	Reloading the .44 Magnum
		The basic.44 Magnum loads, while not running any more pressure than a warm.44 Special or a.45 ACP +P, have enough power to be a significant handgun load.
		In its current full-power guise, the.44 Magnum pushes a 240-grain bullet to 1,200 fps, for a 288 PF.
		The SAAMI specs call for a limit on the.44 Magnum of 36k psi (40k CUP).

	Taurus Tracker .44 Magnum Revolver
		The Taurus.44 Magnum Tracker is a good, solid revolver that would make a great trail gun where power and compact size are important.
		Even 250 grain Keith bullets with their long nose loaded into magnum cases were too long for the cylinder.
		The.44 Tracker is made for hunters, backpackers, and fishermen who need a good powerful handgun while in the great outdoors to defend against predators, of both the two-legged and four-legged varieties.

	KING CANNON: Dirty Harry Is Now Officially Out-Gunned
		(Dirty Harry's.44 Magnum had a speed limit of somewhere between 1,200-1,300fps.) The 460 XVR utilizes a special gain-twist rifling inside the barrel, which gives the weapon superb accuracy.
		Well, do ya punk?” Dirty Harry's.44 Magnum might have been the king back in his day, but it can't even play in the same league as Smith and Wesson's newest "King Hand Cannon" -- the 460XVR (X-treme Velocity Revolver).
		Dirty Harry Callahan’s favorite.44 magnum has been dethroned as the world’s most powerful handgun since Smith & Wesson unveiled their newest "King of the Hand Cannons," the Model 460XVR.

		Because it can be chambered in both rifles and revolvers, the versatile.44 Magnum can serve double duty on the cowboy range, or it can serve its owner in the field as a capable short-range hunting cartridge in either a handgun or long gun.
		Fortunately, the.44 Magnum is a well-behaved cartridge in a carbine, and recoil is mild.
		Regardless of its application, the.44 Magnum is raising the fortunes of several companies, chief among them Marlin and Ruger.

	Heavy Weight Bullets In The .44 Magnum
		Especially in the 4-inch Smith and Wesson.44 Magnum with the plain clothes stocks that Elmer preferred, and definitely in the Ruger Blackhawk with a grip frame that was identical to that found on the Colt Single Action Army.
		The former is used in currently manufactured heavy-duty.44 Magnums, while the latter mostly sees service in.44 Magnums built in the 1950s, namely the original Smith and Wesson M29 and Ruger.44 Blackhawk (flat-top).

		The cartridge was an excellent move in the right direction in the 70's, but the gun was short lived due to a variety of reasons.

	.44 MAGNUM REVOLVER BB AIRSOFT Guns
		Some Anaconda revolvers in.44 Magnum were manufactured with factory ported barrels, to improve the control over the recoil.
		Technically, the Anaconda is similar to the King Cobra, but has bigger frame and cylinder to accomodate more powerful cartridges, such as.44 Magnum and.45 Long Colt.
		The Anaconda revolvers are intended primary for sport shooting and hunting, being too big and heavy for normal law enforcement use (except for cool movie cops).
