What is the difference between a 44 Special and a 44 Magnum?
Marklamkin
Both are the same diameter but the case for the.44 Special. is 1.160 inches long while the .44 mag. case is 1.285 inches long. so, the shorter .44 Special will fit into the .44 mag chamber but not the other way around. It is exactly the same as with the .357 mag. and the .38 Special
