.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.
So, I am finding this has become more and more the "do everything" cartridge at our home. We live in the sticks, so defense could be against two-legged varmints and most species of animals that live in this state, including black bear and wolves. We have a lever-action carbine, a double-action...
So, something we did a couple summers ago was decided on one handgun and one long gun that would be the "primaries" for preparedness purposes that we would do a lot of regular practice with. I went with a SBRed/suppressed AR for the long gun and a Model 29 for the handgun. The revolver just...
So - I was in the local gun shop recently, and they had a 5” S&W 629 Classic on display.
I like 5” revolvers with a full underlug - they feel perfectly balanced in my hand.
And, since I don’t currently have anything in.44 magnum (and we occasionally have a black bear on our place), and...
So, we're making plans to visit a friend in northern California in the coming weeks. She lives in a fairly remote, picturesque rural area, and not one of the decaying urban sprawls. Naturally, I would want to have a firearm or two on the trips. I know CCW is a no-go, almost anything NFA (sans...

Willing to work a trade for 10mm Glock. May ask for cash as well depending on the model. Looking for 20SF, 20 Gen4 or 40 MOS.
Gun is perfect. Has seen very little use. 32 rounds fired through it.
I live on the north coast. I'm willing to travel to FFL of...
Kind of a neat-o setup. But I like all things .44 Magnum and suppressed, so "together at last" :s0110:, and therefore not surprising. Anyway, just passing it along for the grins.
So, I am looking for a couple leather cartridge belts. (The kind that goes around a waist, not loaded into a machine-gun.) The purpose is to securely carry .38 Special and .44 Magnum cartridges when packing a lever-action carbine chambered in said. I'm find a bunch of false positives whilst...

I realize this is a long shot, but would be interested in a Tromix .44 Magnum AR-15 upper. They made them for said platform and they fed from sleeved Desert Eagle magazines. I'd find such a setup ever so corking. If anyone should have said specimen, please drop me a note. Thanks!
Black steel not for the faint of heart , light weight , comfy at the appendix, or hip for the cross draw . Less than 50 rnds fired through this bad boy . Short but accurate 4” barrel, and nice comfy after market hogue grips. Holds 5rnds. Minor holster wear but that’s normal .
What’s not...
So, I can't help but dig the Ruger Deerfield: semi-auto, 4+1 capacity detachable magazine, .44 Magnum, and made by Ruger. (The latter, say what you will, I've never owned any Ruger that was truly bad, and their aftermarket support has been always helpful.)
But I just can't get into the...
A sport I'd like to get into is metallic shooting, both handgun and rifles. I read a book about it last year and started doing informal shooting of said on our home range. There is something strangely satisfying about watching the little chicken, turkey, pig, and ram figures get knocked over...
So, as mentioned, I can't get the suppressed levergun idea out of my noggin. One in the .38 Special / .357 Magnum makes sense logistically as we already have a 9㎜ silencer. But I went back and forth between that and the .44 Magnum and finally decided on said in the form of a stainless Rossi...
Sorry for the silly title, amigos, it is from an old Revco song. Now that the little people in this household have stopped interrupting me with the noise and paper airplanes, I can perhaps ruminate on the latest project.
On that point, a NIB, stainless steel, .44 Magnum, Winchester 92-based...
The .44 Magnum has inspired this thought. I got into said earlier in the year and wondered why I had not earlier. I can, and have, run everything from delightfully light .44 Specials to hot loaded, wrist-cracking heavy .44 Magnum loads. I've found the factory-loaded 240-grain loads seem like...

Selling for a family member, I have a Ruger old vaquero with a bisely frame and hammer, chambered in .44 magnum with a 5.5" barrel. It is in good shape, has some honest wear and small spots of pitting, mostly on the grip frame as you would expect. Case hardening on the frame is in good...
