.44 magnum
The .44 Remington Magnum, or simply .44 Magnum (10.9×33mmR), and frequently .44 Mag, is a large-bore cartridge originally designed for revolvers. After its introduction, it was quickly adopted for carbines and rifles. Despite the ".44" designation, guns chambered for the .44 Magnum round, and its parent, the .44 Special, use 0.429 in (10.9 mm) diameter bullets.
The .44 Magnum is based on a lengthened .44 Special case, loaded to higher pressures for greater velocity (and thus, energy). The .44 Magnum has since been eclipsed in power by the .454 Casull, and most recently by the .460 S&W Magnum and .500 S&W Magnum, among others; nevertheless, it has remained one of the most popular commercial large-bore magnum cartridges. When loaded to its maximum and with heavy, deeply penetrating bullets, the .44 Magnum cartridge is suitable for short-range hunting of all North American game—though at the cost of heavy recoil and muzzle flash when fired in handguns, less so in carbines and rifles.
There are a small number of automatic pistols that were or currently are produced in .44 Magnum and similar class (e.g., .44 AMP, .45 Winchester Magnum, .475 Wildey Magnum, .50Æ, etc.). Examples include:
The Auto-Mag:
The Desert Eagle:
The LAR Grizzly:
The MagMatic:
The Wildey...

Picked up in a trade with another forum member, never fired it, and changed my mind. You know how it is. 38 rounds through it per previous owner and remaining rounds in the ammo box. Condition is in alignment with this. Some powder burns on the frame through the porting, but otherwise in...
For sale is my Smith & Wesson 629-4 with a 3-inch barrel, special version dubbed the "Trail Boss". These were an RSR Group Distributor special edition. This is a first year production from 1996, and as such it retains the firing pin hammer and, of course, pre-dates the Clinton lock. This example...

So, I find myself carrying, and shooting, the various .44 Magnums more and more these days. Whilst looking over an older text, I read a synopsis of various .455 Webley loads, including the famous "manstopper" wadcutter/hollowpoint. Which got me to thinking about similar loads for the .44...
