.44 Special ammunition has earned its place among revolver shooters by firing 200- to 246-grain bullets at roughly 700–900 fps for 240–350 ft-lbs of energy, offering a balance of mild recoil and solid power. This caliber excels in target shooting, plinking and personal defense, feeding smoothly in wheelguns like the Smith & Wesson Model 629 and Ruger Blackhawk. Opt for full metal jacket (FMJ) rounds when you want economical, reliable practice or select jacketed hollow point (JHP) loads for consistent expansion and dependable penetration in defensive encounters. Manufactured with precision brass and consistent bullet profiles, .44 Special cartridges deliver tight groupings and reliable ignition shot after shot.
