Hey, Compadre!

I will agree that the .44 Special is one of the best handgun cartridges available! My problem is that I like way too many of them (I owned a .476 Webley at one, by way of example)...

;>)

You know I’m a great fan of the .44 Special, although it’s old school loading with a 246 grain round nose leaves a bit to be desired in comparison to a semi-wadcutter or Keith bullet, even at original velocities.

Well, it doesn’t feed to well in auto-loaders, so its mostly limited to revolvers. That’s an unpleasant limitation.
But it feeds in my Marlin, and works in my Ruger Bisleys, so I’m with you!
