A handgun cartrige orignially developed for the Smith & Wesson. Model 29 double action revolver. The .44 Mag is the brainchild of pistolero Elmer Keith.
The .44 Magnum was forever immortalized when it was first seen in the Clint Eastwood movie, 'Dirty Harry.' It has become a popular handgun hunting round, and can be found chambered in various handguns, including the Smith & Wesson 629 (and variants), Ruger's Blackhawk, Redhawk, and Super Red Hawk revolvers, and of course the ever popular Israeli Desert Eagle autoloading pistol. While no longer the reining heavyweight champion, it is far more practical than cartridges such as the .454 Casull, .475 Linebaugh, (.50 Action Express), and .500 Smith & Wesson.

"The .44 magnum, for when you need to shoot through not 1 car, not 2 cars but 3!"
Also capable of destroying your arms if you hold it wrong

Get the .44 Magnum mug.The dangerous duo of a 40oz. of malt liquor and a Four Loko that will get you drunk on an industrial scale. The .44 magnum combines the class of malt liquor with the full-bodied, complex, palate-pleasuring flavor of the Four Loko. The 44 magnum is not safe for children, women who are pregnant, nursing or may become pregnant, or anybody else. If you are drinking a 44 magnum, you are most definitely not feeling lucky... punk. Best when duct-taped to the hands of an unfortunate pledge, or when poured down the drain in a symbolic display of contempt for such an ungodly concoction. The 44 magnum will take your everything.

Get the .44 Magnum mug.A pretty powerful pistol. Highly popularized in the Dirty Harry movies and described as "the most powerful handgun in the world" even though it was not.
I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? -- Dirty Harry (1971).
