The Taurus Model 44 delivers magnum-level stopping power in a precision-engineered large frame revolver designed for serious shooters. This .44 Magnum platform combines proven reliability with advanced features that reduce recoil and improve accuracy for demanding applications.
What Makes This Different
The ported 4-inch barrel system distinguishes this revolver from standard magnum offerings by redirecting muzzle gases upward to counteract recoil and muzzle flip. The matte stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to blued alternatives while maintaining a non-reflective finish. Transfer bar safety technology prevents accidental discharge even with the hammer down on a loaded chamber, offering enhanced safety over traditional designs.
Key Features
- Ported 4-inch barrel reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots
- Matte stainless steel frame and cylinder resist corrosion in harsh conditions
- 6-round cylinder capacity with .44 Remington Magnum chambering
- Black finger groove rubber grips provide secure hold during recoil
- Transfer bar safety system prevents firing pin contact unless trigger is pulled
- Exposed hammer design allows single and double action operation
- Large frame construction handles magnum pressures reliably
Field performance demonstrates the effectiveness of the porting system in managing the substantial recoil of .44 Magnum loads. The 4-inch barrel length provides an optimal balance between velocity retention and maneuverability for hunting applications and personal protection scenarios. Stainless construction maintains function in wet conditions where carbon steel revolvers might suffer corrosion issues.
