Have two Ruger Super Blackhawks. A 7.5" barrel that is 45+ years old and a 10" barrel that is a year old.
Any 44 shooters and have you noticed over the years nobody stocks 44 Specials?

Seems that with the sales down on Specials they are fairly costly. I have been ordering the brass and
loading my own. But, I do prefer to order factory, shoot them, then reload. Specials are fun as they
kinda pop compared to the Bam of the Mags. :rolleyes:

Are you wanting the wheel gun or get the 10mm with more energy than the special. I saw a mention of one that loves hand cannons and I feel the same way. My S&W 629 w/ 8.375" barrel I bought in '84 was sweet. The 500 mag with max pressure at 60,000 psi compared to the 44 mag at 36,000 would have lots of muzzle blast.
 
I have a a c couple 44mags a Marlin Lever action and a Ruger Black Hawk. Yes ammo is hard to find but it is sure fun to shoot. Thats what these tow are for me. That Marlin is a sweet 16 and some change inch ported barrel and it is a great little rifle. You know tactical with out being tactical....real Fudd friendly.
 
I own a Ruger Redhawk, S&W Stealth Hunter and Colt Anaconda in 44mag. I'll sometimes shoot them with 44 Special as It's a bit cheaper and easier on the hands. 👋

I have a Rossi 92 in a 44 mag and 2 Marlin 1895s in 45-70. 45-70s I have are a cb and a sbl. They have a dark series that looks sweet, 5 rounds 16.25" and threaded barrel. Check it out! Now I want one, darn you Marlin!

My 454 Casull with will run 55,000 so it's no slouch. Revolver is so heavy that I don't think the recoil is
much different from a the BH 44 mag.
 
454 and up pretty much run the same pressures. 60k is tops I think for a standard handgun.
Although I have see some ratings for the 454 Casuall up to 65K
