No. The only lower power ammunition for a .44 special is the .44 Russian and .44 American, both of which are over 100 years old and were black powder cartidges. There are a few different factory loads for .44 special and the cartridge is fairly easy to reload giving you many more options. You must never try to fire .44 magnum through your .44 special because if you do succeed, you will likely damage the gun and possibly injure yourself.
