.44 Special Handguns

9 .44 Special handguns from 3 brands, 5 to 6 rounds and 18 to 41 oz. 5 have a current dealer price, from $419.

The .44 Special guns here are mostly compact five-shot revolvers for carry, led by Charter Arms Bulldog variants, and they fire a large, slow bullet with recoil well below .44 Magnum. Decide between short barrels and light frames for concealment, or a steel medium frame like the S&W 624 for easier shooting. Note that a .44 Special revolver cannot fire .44 Magnum.
