Best way I have found is remove the grips, and take the cylinder out of the frame. Soak both cylinder and frame in hot soapy water for a few minutes and clean as you would any other revolver, accept for the nipples. You can remove them to clean or use a plunging motion in each of the holes in the cylinder with a cloth on your cleaning brush. It is a good idea to remove them to clean if the gun will be sitting for extended periods, make sure you re install them with a bit of anti seize grease on the threads, so you won't get stuck nipples. Let it sit for a few minutes after cleaning then wipe off, lube and re assemble. On occasion (when the wife is not looking) I place the gun in the oven on the lowest setting for about 10 minutes to get all the moisture out. PLEASE ALWAYS TRIPLE CHECK AND NEVER PLACE A LOADED GUN IN AN OVEN I know that is common sense but it must be said. Using hot watter helps in breaking up powder residue and in drying the gun.

The difference between 44 special and 44 black powder bullets?
The .44 S&W Special is a cartridge currently loaded with smokeless powder, as opposed to earlier cartridges such as the .44 Colt or .44 Russian. Those cartridges, generally considered obsolete, were loaded with black powder. Smokeless powder should not be used in firearms built for black powder- the pressures are too high to do so safely. You may also find .44 caliber BULLETS (not cartridges) intended for use in a black powder revolver. These are typically made of a very soft type of lead, different from the harder lead alloys (lead-tin-antimony) used in modern firearms.

Which powder do you use in 44 cal black powder pistol?
For a 44 cal pistol (not revolver) between 20 and 30 grains of 3F black powder or black powder substitute (like pyrodex or goex pinical) should do the trick. You will have to adjust the load to do what you want and to shoot the distance you want, but that should get you started. The above answer is stupid. Since most black powder pistols ARE revolvers. Fill the cylinder half full or a little more, if you do not want to play around with a grain counter,waste of time.
