Is .44 Mag the Same as .44 Rem Mag?

Using .44 Special in a .44 Magnum can lead to issues like cylinder ringing if the gun isn’t designed for it. It’s generally advisable to stick to what your gun is rated for to avoid complications.

Anyone have any recommendations for a .44 Magnum firearm? I’m considering getting one for target shooting.

Yes! If you’re looking for a solid choice, you can’t go wrong with the Smith & Wesson Model 29. It’s a classic and great for both target shooting and hunting.

That one is iconic! I’ve seen it in a lot of movies. Any other recommendations?

Another great option would be the Ruger Redhawk. It’s tough and known for handling heavy loads, plus it gives a nice feel for target shooting.

I like the sound of that one! I’m still a little nervous about choosing between the two types. Should I just go for .44 Mag?

Either one is great, but .44 Magnum is versatile and allows you to shoot both .44 Mag and .44 Rem Mag. Stick with .44 Magnum if you’re uncertain!
