The .44 Remington Magnum is the same as the more common .44 Magnum, and it brings heavy hitting power to this Traditions Frontier. The revolver has a case-hardened finish, the classic single-action shape, and a profile that suits a leather holster.

Because the cartridge shares its case with the .44 Special, you can load lighter practice rounds for comfortable range days and step up to magnum loads when a hog or a coyote warrants it. The gun is no lightweight, so a firm grip helps.

Single actions suit hunters who value a slow and deliberate shot. Handgun hunters use .44 Magnum revolvers on deer at modest range, and ranchers like them for a bad moment around livestock. The case colors lend a handsome look to the working iron.

Keep the finish wiped and dry, and run a light film of oil on the working parts. Load through the gate, rotate the cylinder, and carry with the hammer on an empty chamber. It ships to your FFL dealer, where the background check is completed before you take it home.
