.44 Special

.44 Special
Modelo Charter Arms Bulldog con cincos cartuchos del calibre .44 Special de 246 gr.

El .44 Special es un calibre de revólver, introducido por la Smith & Wesson en 1907, como una versión modernizada del viejo .44 Russian del siglo XIX. Fue bastante popular durante la primera mitad del siglo XX aunque después se volvió minoritario.

Los modernos revólveres del .44 Magnum pueden usar cartuchos del .44 Special sin problemas. Esto es muy útil sobre todo en revólveres de cañon corto por el tremendo retroceso del .44 Magnum. Sin embargo no es posible hacerlo al reves, con munición magnum en un viejo revólver .44 Special.

El .44 Special tiene unas prestaciones balísticas cercanas al .45 ACP, con un buen poder de detención. Con una bala de 240 granos desarrolla una velocidad inicial de 250 m/s y una energía de 470 Julios.
