.44 S&W SPECIAL

The .44 Special is a popular caliber used for handguns, known for its moderate recoil and stopping power. It is a rimmed, centerfire cartridge that is larger than the .38 Special but smaller than the .44 Magnum. The .44 Special is commonly used for self-defense and target shooting due to its accuracy and manageable recoil. Guns chambered in this caliber are often used by law enforcement officers and civilian shooters alike. The .44 Special cartridge has a slower muzzle velocity compared to the .44 Magnum, making it a versatile option for those who prefer a balance between power and control.
