Love that one!

A few more that I have accumulated over the years.

Hard to think of a better all-around, do-it-all caliber. Easy to reload, from soft target to whack-em hard loads. My favorite is a 5.5" New Frontier I've had for about ten years. Never had a bad day with that Colt.

Might as well add a pic...my fav and another for backup.

Maybe not my fav, but definitely an enjoyable SA 44 spec. to own and shoot.

Well, you can never have enough .44 Specials. Early 1920‘s Smith and Wesson Hand Ejector 2nd Model .44. Special. Barrel cut to three inches in the past and MOP added.

Reconciler - not only do you have some great .44 Specials but your pic taking and composition are some of the best I've seen online.

LEO918 another beautiful example!!! I remember seeing a Registered Magnum in nickel that was converted to .44 Special on one of the forums. Was that yours by any chance? One of the greatest .44 Specials I have ever seen!!

The progenitor. A Smith and Wesson Russian No. 3, 2nd Model, made from 1873 to 1878. Only 6,200 commercial were guns made. The gun is in .44 Russian, the father of the .44 Special. It is also cut for a shoulder stock, with a couple of hundred made in this 2nd Model.

Not a 44 special as such. Did come with a fitted 44 spec extra cylinder.

I arrested a doper with one of these many years ago near Yuma, Az. He had it loaded with .44 Magnum rounds. He said, "I've never even fired it." I told him that I 100% believed him.
I hated to see such a beautiful antique pistol go into evidence. I think that if I had been an old west peace officer, I would have carried a S&W Schofield.
