The '''.44 Magnum''' (also referred to as '''.44 Remington Magnum''') is a high-caliber handgun cartridge developed in the inter-war period.<br />
+
While .44 Magnum did not enjoy the same popularity a .357 Magnum, largely owing to the tremendous power - and subsequent recoil - making it unsuitable for efficient personal defense in all but the most skilled shooters, it did gain a cult following thanks to pop culture ; most notably the ''Dirty Harry'' movies, where the titular character carries the '''S&W Model 29'''. It also sees some practical use for hunting and personal defense against dangerous animals, such as bears.

It is a powerful round for its category as a handgun cartridge, and is among the most well-known calibers in the world.

.44 Magnum (also referred to as .44 Reminton Magnum, .44 Mag, more rarely 10.9x33mm R) is a pistol cartridge designed in 1954 by Elmer Keith, one of the key people behind .357 Magnum as well. The first batches of ammunition were produced by Remington, and the first revolver, the now iconic S&W Model 29, was released in 1955. The logical continuation from .357 Magnum in the Magnum era of handgun cartridges, .44 Magnum, it descends from .44 Special, just like how .357 Magnum descends from .38 Special.

While .44 Magnum did not enjoy the same popularity a .357 Magnum, largely owing to the tremendous power - and subsequent recoil - making it unsuitable for efficient personal defense in all but the most skilled shooters, it did gain a cult following thanks to pop culture ; most notably the Dirty Harry movies, where the titular character carries the S&W Model 29.
