The .44 Special or .44 S&W Special is a smokeless powder center fire metallic revolver cartridge developed by Smith & Wesson in 1907 as the standard chambering for their New Century revolver, introduced in 1908.
44 Special became a favorite for hand loaders looking to ring out the most potential from the round. This eventually leads to the 44 Magnum round, which is not interchangeable with these 44 special rounds
